Suunto X10 [10/98] Alarm symbols

The battery level indicator displays an estimate of the remaining battery level. The

indicator value is obtained by referencing the current power consumption against the

measured discharge state of the battery. The current power consumption varies

depending on the function used. Therefore the indicator may show a lower value e.g.

when using GPS than when only displaying time. When turning the GPS on and off, in

some states during GPS usage and when unplugging the charger, the indicator

reading may be unstable. This is normal and is caused by fluctuating current levels at

these instances. For the best estimation for remaining battery level, turn off the GPS,

move to time mode and wait a few minutes for the reading to stabilize.

2.1.3. Alarm symbols

Suunto X10 can display three different alarm symbols: Time, weather and altitude.

When you set a time alarm, its symbol is displayed at the right side of the lower

horizontal dot line. When you set the weather alarm, its symbol appears underneath

the left side of the dot line. When you set the altitude alarm, its symbol appears on top

of the left side of the dot line¨

2.1.4. GPS reception indicator

When the GPS is set on, the GPS reception indicator appears

on the upper horizontal dotted line of the display. Once the

GPS is on but does not have satellite reception, an empty,

rectangular and blinking dot is displayed. When the GPS has

a fix, 1 to 5 filled rectangular dots are displayed. The quantity

depends on the reception quality. More dots represent better

satellite coverage and signal reception.
