For more accurate readings, it is strongly recommended to calibrate the compass whenever outdoors. The compass should be calibrated: • Before first use. • After the battery has been replaced. • Before you leave for an extended outdoor activity. • Whenever it is exposed to strong magnetic sources, extreme cold, or you suspect that other environmental conditions have affected the compass readings. • If you notice that the compass is not showing the direction correctly. ABOUT THE COMPASS The compass shows the bearing in degrees due North together with 16 cardinal / ordinal points. The outer circumference of the display consists of 16 segments that graphically show the bearing. The last lit segment indicates North as shown below. 6
