Troubleshooting

PLRF25C-1.2en

46

Inaccurate azimuth 
values

Incorrect declination setting

Disruptive magnetic fields at 
measuring position

Bad calibration

Altered magnetic conditions 
within the instrument 
(e.g. battery change)

Set correct declination (see 
page 36)

Respect factors affecting 
azimuth measurement 
accuracy (see page 25)

Perform compass 
calibration (see page 30)

Perform compass 
calibration (see page 30)

Compass calibration 
can not be completed

Timing out of calibration

Follow the instructions 
slightly faster (see page 31)
