COMPASS OPERATION
Normally, the compass is inactive, with the 4th center
hand pointing to 12 o'clock or showing the chronograph
seconds.
While holding the watch level, press C (COMPASS) to
activate the compass. The compass hand moves to
point north. If the watch is turned, the 4th center hand
will continue to move, always pointing north. After 20
seconds, the compass will automatically turn off and the
4th center hand will return to its normal operation. This
conserves battery life. Press C (COMPASS) at any time to
keep the compass on for another 20 seconds.
The compass may be activated while the chronograph is
in use. The 4th center hand merely switches operation
temporarily. The upper and lower hands continue to show
the chronograph time and all chronograph functions are
30
available through buttons A (START/STOP) and B (FLY-
BACK/RESET).
NOTE: During compass operation, the second hand
moves in two-second increments. Also, when the
compass is activated, the upper and lower hands may
shift position slightly, returning to their proper positions
when the compass is deactivated. This operation is
normal and yields the most accurate compass reading.
