shown in the small popup window on the screen. Do this several times until the popup window disappears.
NOTE: Follow these guidelines when using the compass.
Keep the device away from objects that generate magnetic fi elds, 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.
Regularly set the reference altitude for an accurate output. (See the next section.)
