3.7.1. Calibrating compass

When you first start using Suunto EON Steel, the compass needs to be calibrated. Suunto
EON Steel displays the calibration icon when you enter the compass view. Calibrate the
compass by slowly rotating the unit in your hand in large figure-8 loops.
Watch the video on YouTube.
During the calibration process, the compass adjusts itself to the surrounding magnetic field.
Because of changes in the surrounding magnetic field, it is recommended to re-calibrate the
compass before each dive.
To manually start calibration:
1. Keep the middle button pressed to enter the menu.
2. Browse to General / Compass.
3. Press the middle button to enter Compass.
4. Scroll up or down to select Calibrate.
5. Start calibration by moving the device around in a 3D figure-8 as the image suggests.
6. A sound indicates the calibration succeeded, and the screen goes back to Compass
menu.
