Auto-off time
In the menu
4.2. Auto-off time
you can
select a compass timeout, which is the
amount of time the compass is displayed
when activated at the surface or during
a dive. Timeout can be set from 5 to 60
seconds, or the selection “Push on/Push
off” maintains the compass display until it
is switched off by a button press.

Declination
A compass points to the magnetic north
pole of the earth. Geographic and magnetic
North Pole difference is corrected with a
declination setting. Declination depends on
your current location on the earth. You can
select a correction value from 0º to 90° in
1° increments and select the direction East
or West.

NOTE: The G2TEK’s compass does
not normally need recalibration. If you
note a significant permanent offset
in compass direction, contact your
authorized SCUBAPRO dealer.

Altimeter
Here you can check your current elevation.
In the altitude menu, the current altitude is
calculated from the barometric pressure.
The altitude can be adjusted when current
elevation is known. Adjusting the altitude
elevation has no effect on the altitude class.
F
NOTE: Barometric pressure is
variable, changing with weather and
atmospheric pressure at any particular
elevation. Dive algorithms use altitude
classes which are directly derived
from barometric pressure. Displayed
altitude is determined based on the
current barometric pressure and is
therefore a relative value.
