E-Compass
The E-Compass page shows directions of movement including orientation,
pitch angle, roll angle, and azimuth angle.
The Magnetic Field and Accuracy readings are for your reference. When the
application determines that calibration is needed, it will pop up the
“Calibration” graphics asking you to calibrate the compass (unless you have
disabled the function). Hold the device and swing it in the way as shown on
the screen. Do this several times until the popup graphics disappear.
NOTE: Follow these guidelines when using the compass.

Keep the device away from objects that generate magnetic fields, such
as cars, large belt buckles, computers, cell phones, etc.

If you must use the compass inside a car, the device should be at least
20 cm (7.87 inches) away from metal objects such as car doors,
dashboard, air vents, etc.

Avoid playing the MP3 music with the internal speaker or connecting
the AC adapter. This will cause the magnetic interference to the
compass.
