Digital Vehicle Compass

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack Digital Vehicle Compass. 
Your compass conveniently provides accurate heading 
information inside your vehicle. It incorporates the same magnetic 
sensor technology that is used in factory-installed vehicle 
compasses. The compass electronically separates the Earth’s 
magnetic field from the magnetic fields generated by your vehicle, 
to provide accurate compass headings. 

Automatic Shut-Off  conserves power by turning off the 
compass about 10 minutes after you park the vehicle when there 
are no significant changes in the surrounding magnetic fields.

Magnetic Distortion Detection — alerts you when outside 
magnetic interference is affecting compass accuracy.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your compass requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for 
power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend 
RadioShack batteries. Battery life is about 11 months (based on 
an average of 8 hours of compass use and 2 hours of backlight 
use per week).

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and 

recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries 

(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable 
batteries of different capacities.
