You can easily view your current heading at a glance. There 
are eight cardinal points on the display — north, northeast, 
east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest. 
Calibration helps the compass better separate the earth’s 
magnetic field from the magnetic field generated by external 
influences (such as your vehicle), providing more accurate 
heading information.

Calibrate the compass anytime you move it, or whenever 
distortion continuously appears. Before calibration, peel off 
the backing on one side of the supplied tape and attach the 
tape to the back of the compass, then mount the compass 
by peeling off the backing on the other side of the tape, then 
press the compass onto the level mounting surface, with the 
compass’ arrow facing up and pointing to the front. Do not 
mount the compass upside down.

1. Hold down 

CAL

 for a second. All eight cardinal points 

flash.

2. Drive your vehicle in two complete circles. Be sure your 

vehicle is on level ground, in an open area, such as a 
parking lot.

3. Press 

CAL

 to confirm calibration

You must complete the circles on level ground and press 

CAL

 within 10 minutes. Or, start from Step 1 again.

If an error is found during calibration,

Before calibration, end CB 
transmission and make sure the 
CB is not tuned to the 
Emergency channel 9 or 19 or 
in PA mode.

Do not calibrate the compass 
near metal or a strong magnetic 
field.

The compass is not available in 
TX mode.
