Use - Suunto S6 Guia Del Usuario

• Bearing tracking: Bearing tracking helps you follow a certain bearing in terrain.
When you scroll to bearing tracking for the first time, it is 0°. To activate the search
for bearing, move your Suunto S6 horizontally until the chosen bearing is dis-
played on the first row and press Start. The selected bearing is displayed on the
third row until you select a new bearing. When you have selected the bearing
tracking, the compass rose in the middle row displays a dotted vertical line that
indicates the set bearing tracking.
NOTE: When you scroll to bearing tracking the next time, it always displays the
last selected bearing.
• Time: The current time.
NOTE: The shortcuts function normally in the power-saving mode. When you select
the bearing tracking shortcut, the compass is automatically activated.

3.3.2. Use

The Use function allows you to define whether the air pressure measurement is used
to measure the altitude or to represent weather conditions.
If you select Alti (altimeter), the measured air pressure is displayed as altitude and all
atmospheric pressure changes are interpreted as changes in altitude.
When you select Alti, the altitude reading of the Compass, Skiing and SkiChrono
modes changes but the atmospheric pressure (sea level) in the second row of the
Weather mode remains constant. The absolute pressure changes if it is selected as
a shortcut in the third row of the Weather mode.
If you select Baro (barometer), the measured air pressure is displayed as weather
information and all changes in atmospheric pressure are interpreted as being due to
a change in the weather.
