3.7.2 Function Menu
Function menu before the race
The Racing mode has a unique Function menu that you can access by short pressing
Enter
. The contents of this menu adapt to the situation in the race. The following
options are available before the race has started:
GPS
The GPS function allows you to turn the GPS on or off and to
examine the accuracy of the GPS readings.
To turn the GPS on or off:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to
GPS

and short press

.
2. Change the status to

or

with the arrow buttons and
short press

. The GPS is now set.
NOTE: GPS is set on automatically 15 minutes prior to start.
Course
The Suunto M9 allows to load 10 different race courses into
the memory. These courses have the unique ability to store
the same waypoint (buoy) several times, into the waypoint
list.
If exact buoy positions are not known, updating the location of a certain buoy also
updates all the same buoys in the waypoint list. This is helpful when going around the
buoys multiple times. The Suunto M9 can thus calculate layline and other information
related to the buoys once their exact location has first been updated (see Suunto Sail
Manager Help).
The user can select a course from the Suunto M9 memory.
To select a course:
1. In the Function menu, scroll to
Course
with the Arrow buttons and short press
Enter
.
2. Select a course with the arrow buttons and short press
Enter
.
