The calibration should be done in calm sea conditions and with
minimal wind to obtain good results.

1. Begin turning the boat to starboard.
2. Start compass calibration by turning the course selector clockwise.
3. When the calibration is completed, (after having completed
approximately 1 1/4 turns), it will be confirmed in the display.
If the compass is close to disturbing magnetic objects, the compass
calibration may fail, and the display will show:

failed
In that case move the compass to a better location and recalibrate.
After calibration, check the compass readout against a known
reference, other compass or leading line. If the reading is correct
(+/-3°) except for a fixed offset, use the COMPASS OFFSET setting to
input a fixed correction to offset the heading readout.
Press STBD [>] button to proceed to next menu item.
Compass Offset
The compass OFFSET feature allows you to correct for a constant
compass heading offset, that may be present as a result of the RFC35
being installed with a lubber line offset or a fixed offset remains after
the calibration procedure has been completed. The value of compass
offset is specific to the heading sensor that is selected at the time the
offset is entered. (For multiple heading sensor offset procedure, refer to
separate CI300X manual).
The following display is presented when accessing the COMPASS
OFFSET entry screen:
Heading : 194
Offset ?: 000

Dial in the correction by turning the course dial to offset the RFC35
heading to agree with the known, accurate heading. The offset value
can be either positive or negative.
Note ! The OFFSET required may be as great as 90 degrees, caused by the
orientation of the compass when installed. If an OFFSET still exists after
having accounted for the mechanical offset, one of the following problems
may still exist:
