Instruccions de funcionament
Modes de navegació
The SUUNTO Core Alpha features multiple modes accessible via the middle right button (Mode button). Pressing this button cycles through Time, Altimeter/Barometer, and Compass modes.
Altimeter and Barometer Functions
The watch provides both altimeter and barometer functions, which can be used to track altitude, measure atmospheric pressure, and predict weather changes.
- Altímetre: Displays current altitude. Can be calibrated with known reference points for accuracy.
- Baròmetre: Shows current atmospheric pressure and a trend graph. A rapid drop in pressure can indicate an approaching storm.
- Automatic Alti/Baro Profile: The watch can automatically switch between altimeter and barometer profiles based on your movement, optimizing readings for either altitude changes or weather monitoring.
Compass Usage
The digital compass provides directional guidance. Ensure it is calibrated for accurate readings.
- Activate Compass: Navigate to the 'COMPASS' mode using the Mode button.
- Lectura: The display shows your current bearing in degrees and cardinal direction (e.g., 120° SE). A North indicator on the bezel or display will always point North.
- Estalvi d'energia: The compass will automatically turn off after one minute of inactivity to conserve battery. Press the upper left button to restart it.

Resolució de problemes
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Lectures inexactes de la brúixola | Needs calibration; magnetic interference. | Recalibrate the compass (see Setup section). Move away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., power lines, large metal objects). |
| Altimeter/Barometer Inaccuracy | Sensor blocked; rapid weather changes; incorrect reference. | Ensure sensor opening is clear. Calibrate altimeter with a known altitude. Allow time for barometer to adjust to stable conditions. |
| Display is Dim/Unreadable | Low battery; specific display type. | Replace battery if low battery indicator is on. Note that the 'Stealth' version has a negative display which can appear dimmer in certain lighting conditions. Use backlight as needed. |
| Watch Not Responding | Error temporal de programari; bateria baixa. | Try a soft reset by pressing all five buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. If unresponsive, replace the battery. |
