4. Getting started
Basic settings
Press any button and your Suunto Core will activate. You are then prompted to set the
language, units (imperial or metric), time and date. Use the upper right [+] button and lower
right [- Light] button to change the settings. Accept and move to the next menu item by
pressing the right middle [Mode] button. You can always return to the preceding menu item by
pressing the lower left [View] button. When the settings are set as you want, you can start
using the basic time features of your Suunto Core.
NOTE: You need to set the altimeter, barometer and compass to get correct readings.
Please refer to the User Guide for detailed information on setting these properly.
Modes
Your Suunto Core has three modes: TIME, ALTI & BARO and COMPASS. These modes are
explained in detail in the User Guide. The enabled mode is indicated by a rectangle around
the mode name. You switch between the main modes with the right middle [Mode] button. Try
it!
Views
Each mode has a set of views that you access with the lower left [View] button. Views are
presented in the lower part of the display. Views contain supplementary information about the
enabled mode, for example, viewing seconds as supplementary information in the TIME
mode. Some views are also interactive.

•
Stopwatch (TIME mode)
•
Countdown timer (TIME mode)
•

•

When interactive views are enabled, you can start, stop and restart them with the upper left
[Start Stop] button and reset them by keeping the upper right [+] button pressed. Enter the
stopwatch in TIME mode and try it out!
