3.1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Suunto S6 has five different modes: Time, Compass, Weather, Skiing and SkiChrono.
The symbols for each mode are displayed on the left of the display. When you select
a mode, the active mode indicator appears on the display next to the symbol of the
selected mode.
To select a mode, press either the up or down arrow while in the main display of any
mode and scroll to the desired mode. 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.

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,
