Calibrating digital compass
If you have downloaded a compass application to use this feature, note
that the performance of any compass feature varies depending on
environmental conditions. For example, any source using electromagnetic
or radio waves.
Before using any compass feature the compass needs to be calibrated for
accuracy. To calibrate, disconnect the AC adaptor and remove all
peripherals/cables, and then horizontally/vertically rotate the computer with
the power on several times as shown in the illustration below. Please note
this is the most effective method of calibrating this computer.
