COMPASS
The DSX is equipped with an advanced 3D digital compass. Compass Mode can be activated by holding the
Right button for at least 2 seconds.
• When no heading is set, the heading degrees remain green.
• The heading degrees are green when on a set heading, red when on reverse (reciprocal) heading, and yellow
when off of those two headings.
NOTE: Calibrate the compass before use.
NOTE: Similar to an analog compass, magnetic and ferrous metals can cause erratic and erroneous
readings.
NOTE: When alarms are triggered, operation in Compass Mode will be terminated and the Dive Main
screen will be displayed, describing the alarm condition. Compass Mode can then be reentered by
holding the Right button for 2 seconds after the alarm has been cleared/acknowledged.
!
WARNING: You must become thoroughly familiar with setup and operation of the DSX Digital Compass
before using it as your primary device for navigation. Failure to do so could result in serious errors
relating to activities involving navigation.
