Bearing Tracking Sub Mode - Suunto Mariner User Manual

• 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 field 2. Reactivate the compass by pressing the [-] button.
The Mariner 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.
Note: Compass readings should be performed away from objects possessing sources of magnetism. Avoid buildings,
large metal objects, power lines, loudspeakers, electric motors etc.
Always take bearings in the open air, not inside tents, caves, or other shelters.
