11 USING 3D COMPASS
Suunto Ambit2 R has a 3D 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.
The compass is a temporary display that needs to be activated.
To activate the compass:
1. While in a sport mode, keep [Next] pressed to enter the options
menu.
2.
Scroll to ACTIVATE with [Light Lock] and select with [Next].
3.
Scroll to COMPASS with [Start Stop] and select with [Next].
COMPASS mode includes the following information:
•
middle row: compass heading in degrees
•
bottom row: toggle between the current heading in cardinal (N,
S, W, E) and half-cardinal (NE, NW, SE, SW) points, time and
empty view with [View]
The compass will switch itself to power saving mode after one
minute. Reactivate it with [Start Stop].
