3.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Suunto X6hr has five modes: Time, Compass, Weather, Hiking and Chrono. Heart
rate is displayed in the Hiking and Chrono modes. The symbols for each mode are
displayed on the left of the Suunto X6hr display. When you select a mode, the active
mode indicator appears on the display next to the symbol of the selected mode. If the
icons are set to on, they also display the active mode.
To select a mode, press either the up or down arrow while in the main display of any
mode and scroll the modes. During scrolling, the icon of the selected mode and its
name appear on the display. When you stop scrolling, the icon stays for a little while
and then the main display of that mode opens automatically.
NOTE: In addition to the active mode indicator, the Use indicator can also be displayed
next to the Compass or Weather mode symbols. If the Use is set to Alti, the indicator
is next to the Compass mode symbol and if the Use is set to Baro, the indicator is next
to the Weather mode symbol. For more information about the Alti or Baro Use, refer
to chapter 3.3.2.
