  • Page 66: Suunto X9 In Action

    It is a sunny afternoon when Mike Mountaineer arrives in Col De Voza, France. Since the time zone in France differs from the one in California, he asks the locals what time it is, changes the time in his Suunto X9 and sets the Californian time as the Dual time for reference.

  • Page 67: First Hiking Day

    Mike has created the routes for both hiking days with Suunto Trek Manager and uploaded them on his Suunto X9 in advance. Even though he does not really need a navigational aid since the weather is fairly clear and paths are clearly marked, he nevertheless activates a route in the Navigation mode since it does not consume that much battery power even when the Activity is on.
  • Page 68 Start/Data in the Alarm menu and then sets an alarm to wake him up just before dawn. He also compares the altitude reading to the one on the map to see that they match. Then he leaves Suunto X9 to charge its battery.

  • Page 69: Second Hiking Day

    Before setting off, Mike switches his Suunto X9 to the Alti mode so that he can use the altimeter as a navigational aid, and of course that he can monitor how far it is to the top While waiting for his breakfast to be ready, he calibrates the compass to make sure it works properly.
