CB-One module back cover or CB-71/DS compass (optional) 4 CB-ONE Module Assembly The CB-ONE Module is designed to fit the Suunto SM-26/36 analog pressure gauges. [. . . ] The direction line now points in the desired direction. Magnetic declination Maps and marine charts are drawn in correlation to the geographic poles, while the magnetic compass needle is subject to magnetic declination which varies according to the location. General orientation on the diving site Before diving, check the main compass bearings at the dive site, paying special attention to memorizing the direction of the shoreline and bearings of landmarks that may be of importance. Natural aids to underwater navigation · The underwater extension of the shore's inclination tells the diver if he is following the shoreline. Be careful however as underwater ridges may lead you astray. Surface occasionally to check your position. · The dip and stratification of rocks on the shore can often be followed over large areas under water · Sand ripples usually form long lines parallel to the shore · The direction of currents should be noted by their effect on algae or drifting particles. Use the compass to check the bearing of the current 7 · In shallow water, the sun's direction can be seen from shadows on the bottom, or by looking towards the surface · Swimming in a straight line along the bottom is greatly facilitated if you can line up three distinctive objects in your line of vision. As you reach the first one, line up a new one farther away, so that you again have three points determining your course. This way you can counteract the effects of side current. Compass Balancing The horizontal and vertical components of earth's magnetic field vary considerably in different locations. For this reason Suunto compasses are balanced for 5 different zones. If the compass is used in an adjacent balancing zone the compass needle will tilt only slightly. However, the farther the compass is used from it's intended zone, the more the needle will tilt. In extreme situations the needle might stick. For this reason it is very important to know in which country the compass will be used.

Atmospheric conditions (altitude, temperature) may cause the point to not indicate zero. [. . . ] The introduction of any probe into the water entry port of the depth gauge or the pressure relief valve opening of the pressure gauge can also damage internal components. Before prolonged storage the instruments should be removed from the console, rinsed with fresh water and stored separately. 9 CAUTION!Do not attempt to disassemble the gauges. Special tools and training are required to perform the adequate service. The instruments must be serviced by an authorized dealer every second year or after 200 dives (whichever comes first).
