When you set the declination angle on the compass you
compensate for the difference between true and magnetic
north. This makes the compass reading more accurate.
To set the declination angle:
1. Press DISP/- repeatedly to navigate to compass mode.
2. Press and hold SET. Display will show CALI.
3. Press DISP/- to toggle to declination option. Display will
show DECLI.
4. Press SET to confirm.
5. Set the following options: on / off; West / East (only if
ON is selected); degree of declination angle by pressing
the following buttons:
• to increase value or toggle options
• DISP/- to decrease value or toggle options
• SET to confirm
TRUE NORTH CALIBRATION
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.
To set True North calibration:
1. Press DISP/- repeatedly to navigate to compass mode.
2. Press and hold SET. Display will show CALI.
3. Press DISP/- to toggle to True North option. Display will
show NORTH.
4. Press SET to enter settings.
5. Press to select on / off, then press SET to
confirm.
If 'ON' has been selected, rotate the unit to align direction
indicator to true north when prompted, then press SET to
confirm.
NOTE If the declination angle is turned ON, the True north
function will automatically turn itself OFF and vice-versa.
