AC APPEARS IN THE TOP RIGHT
CORNER OF THE DISPLAY, WHEN THE DIVE
COMPUTER IS IN CONTACT WITH WATER.
THIS ALSO ACTIVATES THE DIVE MODE.
Contamination or dirt on the water contact may prevent this automatic activation. It is
therefore important that the water contact is kept clean. The contact can be cleaned with
fresh water and a soft brush, for example a tooth brush.
4.3. Learning how to use your compass
Suunto Cobra2 integrates a digital compass, which can be used both while diving and on
dry land, and can be accessed from either the DIVE mode or TIME mode.
IF ACCESSED FROM TIME MODE,
TIME AND BEARING ARE DISPLAYED AT
THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
IF ACCESSED FROM DIVE MODE,
CURRENT DEPTH AND TIME OR
MAXIMUM DEPTH, AS WELL AS BEARING
OR DIVE TIME OR TEMPERATURE ARE
DISPLAYED.
NOTE
When accessed from DIVE mode, toggle between the alternative
displays by pressing the UP/DOWN buttons.
NOTE
In order to save battery power, the compass display will automatically
return to the TIME or DIVE mode 60 seconds after the last button-
press.
4.3.1. Compass display
The Suunto Cobra2 displays the compass as a graphical representation of a compass
rose. The rose displays the cardinal and half cardinal points, in addition to which, the
current bearing is also displayed numerically.
Tilt sensor
The compass has a tilt sensor, so it doesn't have to be completely level in order to display
the correct bearing. As long as the device is held at an angle of +/- 5
o
to level, the compass
will display the correct bearing. If the device is not held within this range, no bearing will
be displayed.
