and half cardinal points. The current bearing is also displayed
numerically. A bearing can be locked, and directional arrows
point towards the locked bearing. Locking a bearing helps you
e.g. follow a preferred course. Locked bearings are also sto-
red in memory for later analysis. The locked bearing is also
available the next time the compass is activated.

NOTE ! The magnetic sensor of the compass functions for
30s after the last button-press. After this the display will return
to the mode it was called from (TIME or DIVE).

LOCKING A BEARING

To lock a bearing move your D9 horizontally until the intended
bearing is displayed. Press SELECT to lock the bearing. The
directional arrows above the compass rose will guide you to-
wards the locked bearing as described below.

The Suunto D9 will also provide help for navigating square
and triangle patterns, as well as navigating a return heading.
This is indicated by a graphical symbol in the center of the
compass display:

You are traveling towards the locked bearing

You are at a 90 (or 270) degree angle to the locked
bearing
