Suunto Spartan Ultra
To improve readability in low-light conditions, you can use the standby backlight. This is a low-
brightness backlight that is on all the time.
You can toggle the standby backlight on or off from the settings under General » Backlight »
Standby.
Even though the standby backlight brightness is quite low, it decreases overall battery life
because it is on all the time.
3.6. Button and screen lock
While recording an exercise you can lock both the buttons and screen by keeping the lower
right button pressed. Once locked, you cannot change the display views, but you can turn on
the backlight with any button press if the backlight is in automatic mode.
To unlock everything, keep the lower right button pressed again.
When you are not recording an exercise, the screen locks and dims after one minute of
inactivity. To activate the screen, press any button.
The screen also goes to sleep (blank) after a period of inactivity. Any movement turns the
screen on again.
3.7. Compass
Suunto Spartan Ultra has a digital compass that allows you to orient yourself in relation to
magnetic north. The tilt-compensated compass gives you accurate readings even if the
compass is not horizontally level.
You can access the compass from the launcher under Navigation » Compass.
The compass display includes the following information:
Arrow pointing to magnetic north
•
Heading cardinal
•
Heading in degrees
•
Time of day (local time) or battery level; tap on screen to change views
•
To exit the compass, swipe right or keep the middle button pressed.
While you are in the compass display, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen or
press the lower button to open a list of shortcuts. The shortcuts give you quick access to
navigation actions such as checking the coordinates of your current location or selecting a
route to navigate.
Swipe down or press the upper button to exit the list of shortcuts.
