ALIGNMENT (Offset)
Carry out the calibration procedure, and then steer the boat on a known heading or
bearing. Slightly turn the compass until the correct heading readout is displayed.
Tighten the screws. IS15 has a built in off-set correction, please refer to the manual.
Note !
If you sail more than 15-20° north or south of the latitude of your last
calibration, the calibration procedure should be repeated. Calibration data is
stored in the RC37 and will only be deleted when a new calibration is
performed.
