<Precautions on using the compass>
・The compass can be used in the Northern Hemisphere
only. In areas at the latitude lower than the tropic of
Cancer, it may not indicate the directions properly
depending on the season.
・Please use the compass in places where the direction
of the sun can be checked.
・Before using the compass, it is necessary to set the
24-hour hand to the current time of your area. (Refer to
"How to set the time".)
・The compass is so designed to provide only the rough
indications of the directions, and not the accurate
directions.
