Calibration
Because of changes in the surrounding magnetic field, the Suunto D6 electronic
compass occasionally needs to be re-calibrated. During the calibration process, the
compass adjusts itself to the surrounding magnetic field. As a basic rule, you should
calibrate the compass whenever it doesn’t seem to operate properly, or after replacing
