PROPLUS X OPERATING MANUAL
© Pelagic, 2016 Doc. No. 12-5655-r01 (8/19/16)
OVERVIEW
The ProPlus X is equipped with an advanced 3D digital compass. Compass Mode can be activated while in Dive or Gauge operation modes by
pressing the right button.
• The ProPlus X reverts back to the previous operation mode after 1 minute unless the Compass Mode is reset by pressing any of the buttons. See
the Timeout section at the end of this chapter for further details.
• There are three modes (North, Reference, Reverese Reference) of compass operation.
• North Mode is the default Compass operation. Though if another compass operation mode is selected, the ProPlus X will return to that function
when the compass is selected during the activation cycle.
NOTE: You may need to calibrate the compass from time to time to compensate for any magnetic interference (new dive loca-
tion, or other surrounding changes). The Calibrate Compass function is found in the Home > Setup Menu, see p. 15.
NOTE: Magnetic declination or variation measures the angle between the Earth's magnetic north and true north. The declina-
tion value for any region can be found on current geographical charts. By correcting for declination, you can achieve a more
accurate compass reading. Remember magnetic north changes over time; so use only current geographical charts to obtain the
declination value for any geographical region. The Set Declination function is found in the Home > Setup Menu, see p. 16.
NOTE: Similar to an analog compass, magnetic and ferrous metals can cause erratic and erroneous readings.
WARNING: You must become thoroughly familiar with the setup and operation of the ProPlus X 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.
