  • Page 10: Understanding Gps

    UNDERSTANDING GPS OVERVIEW Suunto G9 uses Global Positioning System (GPS) in determining the user’s position. GPS incorporates a set of satellites orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 20 000 km at the speed of 4 km/s. The satellites send relatively weak radio signals at power levels comparable to normal household light bulbs.
  • Page 11 The vertical position estimate is roughly two times more inaccurate than the horizontal. Because of this inevitable vertical inaccuracy of GPS positioning, Suunto G9 encases a separate altimeter sensor with a 1-meter resolution that should be used instead of the GPS estimate when measuring small changes in altitude.

    The Suunto G9 starts to increase the hole´s total score when the number of putts is equal to the total score -1. For example, your total score is 5. You increase the putts to 4 and G9 does not increase the total score. If you still increase the number of putts, Suunto G9 increases the total score because you must have at least one stroke to arrive to the green.
  • Page 33 Game mode to save the battery. Will the average club distances be correct if I do not use the Select club? No. Suunto G9 needs to know which club was used for each stroke to maintain the club distance database.

  • Page 34: Calibrating The Compass

    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.
