CHaPTeR 6 CoMPass Mode

The Suunto Wristop Computer compass function provides the user with:

• a bearing display in degrees and cardinal or half-cardinal point;

• a North-South arrow;

• a bearing tracking mode showing locked bearing, actual bearing and the difference between them;

• a declination correction feature;

• a bubble level for reading accuracy of +3 degrees;

• a resolution of 1° for the bearing, +5° for North-South direction; and

• Field 2 displays the bearing in degrees.

• Field 3 displays the current time.

• The Outer Circumference graphically displays the North-South arrow where one lit segment shows North and three lit segments

show South.

The compass display is active for 45 seconds at a time. After this, the compass enters “sleep” mode and an “---°” indicator appears in

the eld 2. Reactivate the compass by pressing the [-] button.

Vector HR provides a bubble level for the user to achieve a precise reading within +3 degrees. The user centers the liquid bubble to

ensure the Wristop Computer position is level and takes a reading.
