Compass calibration
This function will activate the compass calibration procedure. The
procedure will enable the RFC35 Electronic Fluxgate compass or the
CDI35 Course Detector Interface to automatically correct for magnetic
deviation.
Note ! If an optional magnetic compass is installed or if a GYRO compass, or other
manufacturers fluxgate connected to a CI300X is installed, refer to the
Optional Compass Calibration Procedure accompanying the CI300X.
Before you begin the compass calibration procedure, make sure you
have enough open water around you to make a full clockwise turn
with the boat. Let the boat turn at idle.
