4.8.3. Locking the bearing
A bearing is the angle between north and your target. In simple terms, it is the direction you
want to travel. Your heading, on the other hand, is your actual direction of travel.
You can set a bearing lock to help you orientate yourself underwater and ensure you maintain
your direction of travel. For example, you can set a bearing lock for the direction to the reef
before leaving the boat.
You can reset the bearing lock at any time, but you can only clear a bearing lock while at the
surface.
To set a bearing lock:
1. Press the middle button to change to the compass view.
2. Hold your Suunto EON Steel Black in level in front of you, with the top pointing in the
direction to your target.
3. Keep the lower button pressed until you see the Bearing locked notification.
Once you have a bearing locked, the lock position is indicated on the compass rose, as
shown below.
Below your heading (large number in center of compass), you also see the relative dierence
between your bearing and your heading. So, for instance, when you want to travel in the
exact direction of your bearing, the lower number should be 0°.
If you want to set a new bearing lock, just repeat the same procedure above. Each bearing
lock is recorded in your dive log with a time stamp.
To clear the bearing lock from your compass view, you need to return to the surface.
To clear a bearing lock:
1. While in surface state, keep the middle button pressed to enter the main menu.
2. Scroll to General with the upper or lower buttons and press the middle button.
3. Press the middle button to enter Compass.
4. Select Clear bearing with the middle button.
5. Keep the middle button pressed to exit.
