Suunto X6 Bedienungsanleitung Seite 31

• The level symbol indicates the ongoing calibration. When the cross is in the
middle of the symbol, the Suunto X6/X6M is held level. The animation represents
the progress of the calibration.
• If the calibration succeeds, the message "
X6/X6M returns to the Function menu.
• If the calibration fails, the message "
starts again from the countdown.
• If the calibration fails five times, the message "
and the Suunto X6/X6M returns to the compass menu.
If the calibration fails five times in a row, it may be possible that you are in an area that
has sources of magnetism, such as large metal object, power lines, loudspeakers
and electric motors. Move to another location and try to calibrate the compass again.
You can also remove the battery and then insert it again. Also make sure, that the
compass remains level during the calibration—calibration may fail if the level is un-
stable.
If the calibration continues to fail, contact the authorized Suunto service.
Setting the compass declination
You can compensate for the difference between true north and magnetic north by
adjusting the compass declination. The declination can be found, for example, from
the topographic maps of your local area.
To set the compass declination:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to Compass with the arrow buttons and press Suunto.
2. In the compass menu, move to Declin with the arrow buttons and press Suunto.
The first row of the next window is activated.
