for example, when it displays the wrong compass bearing or the bearing changes
too slowly. You should also calibrate the compass after replacing the Suunto S6
battery.
Strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric lines, loudspeakers and magnets, can
affect the compass calibration. Therefore you should calibrate the compass if your
Suunto S6 has been exposed to these fields.
You should also calibrate the compass before a long skiing trip.
NOTE: Calibrate the compass before using it for the first time.
NOTE: Remember to hold the Suunto S6 level during the calibration.
To calibrate the compass:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to Compass with the ar-
row buttons and press Suunto.
2. In the compass menu, scroll to Calib with the arrow
buttons and press Suunto.
3. The screen displays the text “
ROTATE
360º” and begins
a countdown from 5 to 0. When the countdown
reaches 0, the calibration starts. Hold Suunto S6 level
and slowly rotate the device in a full clockwise or
counterclockwise circle.
• The level symbol indicates the ongoing calibration.
When the cross is in the middle of the symbol, Suunto
S6 is held level. The animation represents the progress
of the calibration.
• If the calibration succeeds, the “
COMPLETE
” message is
displayed and Suunto S6 returns to the function menu.
