The active setting blinks on the display. Press [A] to accept the change and to move to the next setting. [. . . ] Each log has its own memory slot that is shown as a segment on the outer rim on the display. The log information is divided into two views. In the first view (picture 2), the following information is shown: maximum altitude (first row) start time (second row) start date (bottom row) The second view (picture 3 and 4) shows the following information: cumulative descent (first row) cumulative ascent (second row) duration (bottom row) NOTE: MEMORY stores up to 8 logs. After MEMORY is full, each new log replaces the oldest log. 12 2. 3 Compass view COMPASS view allows you to orient yourself in relation to magnetic North. en Suunto Elementum Terra has a tilt compensated compass which means that the reading is steady even if the compass is tilted. Activate COMPASS view from TIME or ALTITUDE RECORDING mode by pressing [C]. Press [B] or [C] to deactivate COMPASS view. NOTE: COMPASS view will automatically disappear after 60 s. 2. 3. 1 Calibrating compass To check the compass accuracy: Go to COMPASS view and keep the device level and the display upwards. Tilt the display 45º towards yourself. Higher values often indicate good weather, while lower values often indicate unsteady weather. If the air pressure is constantly rising, there is a higher possibility of sunny weather. Again, if the air pressure is constantly dropping, there is a higher possibility of bad weather. 3. 3 Automatically switching between measuring altitude and weather changes Unfortunately, it is not possible to measure weather and altitude changes at the same time, as both cause a change in the surrounding air pressure. Suunto 17 Elementum Terra senses vertical movement and switches to measuring altitude, when needed. When switching to measuring altitude, the maximum delay for showing the updated altitude value is 59 seconds. When altitude is shown, it is updated with a maximum delay of 10 seconds. The benefit of automatic switching is that you do not have to remember to change between altitude and air pressure measuring according to your movements as the watch does it automatically for you. 3. 4 At constant altitude If you are at a constant altitude (less than 5 meters of vertical movement within 12 minutes), the watch interprets all pressure changes as weather changes. The altitude reading remains steady, and if the weather changes, you will see changes in the sea level air pressure reading. The barometric trend arrow changes if the change is significant (2 hPa or more in 3 hours). 18 NOTE: If you are at a constant altitude and the weather changes very fast, the watch may interpret the air pressure change as movements in altitude and change the altitude value. USER EXAMPLE: WEATHER CHANGE WHILE SLEEPING You slept overnight at camp and the weather in the morning is worse than yesterday evening. In the morning, the barometric trend arrow is still horizontal but the sea level air pressure shown on the outer rim is lower. Based on this, you can assume that the weather today is not as good as yesterday because the sea level air pressure has dropped. However, the change has been slow, as it has not affected the barometric trend arrows. en zZz 3. 5 Moving in altitude If you are moving in altitude (more than 5 meters of vertical movement within 3 minutes), the watch interprets all pressure changes as movements in altitude.
