Hi ejunge
I have read the manual carefully. It seems to me you didn't get the point of it:
WATH DOES THE DEVICE PROMPT? WICH TEXT OR WHICH SENTENCE? Even in your reply there is nothing about this. If you read the manual, you find nothing, only: "the device prompts you".

Is the prompt: START COMPASS?
IS the prompt HOLD DEVICE HORIZONTALLY (wich doesn't occure when battery was out)
WHAT OCCURS IF CALIBRATION IS DONE?
WHAT PROMPT IF IT IS NOT DONE?

Thanks for a more firm hint, this could help me to understand the device and perhaps the manual.

	Compass Compasses are sensitive, absolutely crucial instruments to precision navigation. The earth's magnetic field, inclination, and your longitude and latitude all influence the horizontal plane of a compass needle. As a result, compasses are balanced for different geographical zones. Suunto Compasses overcome this limitation to traditional compasses by using a simple 'Two Zone System'. With a Suunto Compass, the only 'balancing zones' are the northern and southern hemispheres. In addition to this innovation, certain Suunto Compasses come equipped with useful features like luminous needles and marks, centimeter/inch scales, magnifying glasses, clinometers, sighting notches, and more.
