CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
You should calibrate the compass if it does not
seem to work well, for example, when it displays
the wrong compass heading or the heading
changes too slowly. Strong electromagnetic fields,
such as electric lines, loudspeakers and magnets,
can affect the compass operation. Therefore it is
advisable to calibrate the compass if your Suunto
G9 has been exposed to these fields.
NOTE! Calibrate the compass before using it for
the first time, and before you leave for an extended
outdoor activity.
To calibrate the compass, select CALIBRATE in
the Compass menu.
Hold the unit horizontally and rotate it slowly
around the vertical axis until the down counter
reaches zero.
Turn the unit vertically and rotate it slowly around
the vertical axis until the down counter reaches
zero.
After this the unit calculates a while after which
the compass is calibrated and Suunto G9
displays the message 'COMPLETE'. Press Enter
to return to the main display.
