EN USING THE COMPASS 1. Sea pressure level 5hPa. ABOUT THE COMPASS The compass shows the bearing in degrees together with 16 cardinal points. The outer circumference of the display consists of 60 segments, which graphically show the bearing, (one lit segment indicates North, three lit segments indicate South). The bubble shows you when the compass is flat so you can take an accurate reading. Simply look directly over the bubble and position the small bubble in the centre of the circle. 2.

EN 2. Press and hold SET until you see the screen opposite. NOTE Compass readings should be performed away from magnetic materials. Avoid large magnetic objects, power lines, loudspeakers, electric motors etc. If the compass is exposed to large magnetic forces reset the calibration. SET THE COMPASS SENSOR CALIBRATION 3. Rotate the watch counterclockwise at the same speed as the segments that are moving around the circumference.

EN Compass with Clock Compass with Local Pressure Compass with Altitude Compass with Sea Level Compass with Timer SET THE BEARING TRACKING SYSTEM The bearing tracking system can be set to lock on a specific bearing you wish to follow. By locking the bearing you can see when you deviate from your course and how much you need to correct it to get back on track. 1. In any compass display screen, press SET until the screen opposite appears. Compass with Temperature 2.
PAGE 19
EN Once the bearing tracking system has been set, the compass segments on the display will show how far you deviate from your locked course. See the examples below: SET THE DECLINATION Declination is the angle between where a compass needle points (magnetic North Pole) and the true North Pole. The declination angle can vary from 0-30 degrees East (E) or West (W) and can be found on most maps or on the Internet. 1. The locked bearing is 94° and the current bearing is 94° 2. Current compass bearing 3.
PAGE 20
EN SET THE TRUE NORTH CALIBRATION TO TURN THE BEARING TRACKING / DECLINATION / TRUE NORTH CALIBRATION ON / OFF When you do not know the declination angle, the true north calibration function can be used to compensate for the difference between magnetic and true north. All you need to know is the direction of true north (this can be found from landmarks in your immediate vicinity). Setting the true north calibration makes the compass reading more accurate. In any compass display screen press SET.
