English

Importance

1. The compass should be calibrated before use.

2. The compass must be kept in a level position when in use.

3. Compass readings are easily affected by disturbing sources of magnetism, so the compass should always be used in the open air.

To calibrate the compass

1. Hold down S4 until “ROTATE CAL” is shown on the display, which indicates the calibration screen.

2. Rotate the product slowly for 2 times each rotation must last for at least 15 seconds.

3. Press S3 and the ten-degree digit starts to flash on the display, which indicates the declination angle setting screen.

* Press S4, S1 and S2 will end calibration skipping the declination angle setting. In this case, the declination angle is set to 0 degree.

4. Use S1 (+) and S2 (-) to change the setting. Holding down either button scrolls the setting at high speed.

5. Press A to advance to the next setting as in the following:

City

* When E or W is flashing, press S2 or S1 to switch between East and West.

* You should consult your local organization for information of declination.
