NOTICE

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading 

accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic 

fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the 

device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience 

irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long 

distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can 

manually calibrate the compass.
