9.0 COMPASS MODE: Precautions
Precautions when using the Compass:
• Keep your watch away from Magnets or appliances which contain Magnetic objects like cell phones,
speakers or motors, etc.
• The watch points to the “Magnetic North” which is slightly different from True North. Refer to the
section on “Magnetic Declination” for more information on the difference between magnetic and true
north.
• Perform the Compass Calibration regularly because calibration reinforces the precision of the compass.
• To achieve accurate results, do not measure direction under the following circumstances:
• The watch is placed close to a magnetic object
• The watch is placed close to a metal object
• The watch is placed close to an electrical appliance
• The watch is placed inside a moving object or inside a ferroconcrete building
9.1 COMPASS MODE: Compass Directions & Bearing Directions
The direction of an object from a point can
be specified in either Compass direction or
Bearing direction. The watch includes both
compass and bearing direction.
• Compass & Bearing Directions are shown
in the adjacent chart.
• The Bearing Direction of an object
is defined as the Angular difference
between North and the Object (0
degrees = North)
• Two Illustrations provide examples of
Compass Direction vs. Bearing Direction:
• Object B from Point A is East OR 90
degrees
• Object C from point A is SOUTHEAST
OR 135 degrees
• Object D from Point A is NORTHWEST
OR 315 degrees

9.3 COMPASS MODE: Backward Bearing & Compass lock
Backward Bearing Function
• The watch includes a Backwards Bearing
Function which indicates the opposite
direction from the normal bearing direction
• From the Compass Display, Press the
[S/S] button to select between Normal or
Backwards Bearing direction
• When Backwards Bearing is selected, the
indicator will show on the display next to
the Bearing direction in the middle row
Compass Lock
• The watch includes a Compass Lock Function
to lock important direction readings
• From Compass Display, Press the [L/R] button
to Lock or UnLock the direction readings
• When the Compass is Locked, the
indicator will appear on the display
above the top row. The Bearing direction and
Magnetic North Pole pointer will be locked.
• The Compass Lock will be released automatically when the watch is switched to Idle Display Mode.
9.4 Compass Mode: Applications of the Compass Display & Backward Bearing
Check Position by using Backward Bearing
(Refer to Illustration as an example)
• Spot two distant identifiable landmarks such as
mountains or structures (example: Mountain A & B)
which are also shown on your map.
• Check the backwards bearing direction of the two
Landmarks from the current position (example:
135 degrees for Mountain A and 270 degrees for
Mountain B)
• On your map, draw a line from Landmark A the same degree as the backward bearing (example: 135
degree line starting from Mountain A) and another line from Landmark B with its backward bearing
(example: 270 degrees from Mountain B).
• Your current position on the map will be at the intersection of the two lines (example: Point A)
9.5 Compass Mode: Applications of the Compass Display & Backward Bearing
Check if Hiking Route is Correct
Important Note: If you are in doubt about the trail
position and directions, consult the park administration
before starting on the hike.
(Refer to Illustration of Sample Trail as an example)
• On your map, mark the positions where the trail
switches direction or branches (example: points A
thru E on the illustration)
• Record the Bearing Direction of each position
against the prior position. (example: Point B to Point
A: 315 degrees, Point C to Point B: 0 degrees, Point
D to Point C: 225 degrees, Point E to Point D: 315
degrees)
• As you hike, check your bearing against the record in each trail section to make sure you are
heading in the right direction
9.6 COMPASS MODE: Magnetic Declination
For the Serious Compass User AND for accurate
navigation, the watch must be adjusted for Magnetic
Declination.
• The Magnetic North Pole is slightly different than the
True North Pole
• The watch, like most magnetic compasses, points to
the Magnetic North Pole
• Maps, by contrast generally measure from the True
North Pole
• The angular difference between the Magnetic North Pole and True North Pole is called Magnetic
Declination
• The Magnetic Declination Value (degree & minutes) and Direction (Easterly or Westerly) is affected by
your position
• Most Topographical Maps include a small arrow that shows the Magnetic North Pole and/or magnetic
declination information. A chart is included in this booklet with the Magnetic declination for some major
cities. Additional information can be found on-line.
The watch also includes a setting for Magnetic Declination Compensation.
9.7 COMPASS MODE: Magnetic Declination Compensation
Magnetic Declination Compensation
To compensate an object’s magnetic bearing
to true bearing: subtract easterly (W) magnetic
declination or add easterly (E) magnetic
declination with the magnetic bearing (MB).
Example 1
Westerly magnetic declination 23° and the
magnetic bearing 323°
• TB = MB - W. While MB = 323° ; W = 23°
• TB = 323° - 23°
• TB = 300°
The true bearing will be 300°
Example 2
Easterly magnetic declination 22° and the
magnetic bearing 278°
• TB = MB + E. While MB = 278° ; E = 22°
• TB = 278° + 22°
• TB = 300°
The true bearing will be 300°
9.8 COMPASS MODE: Magnetic Declination of Some Major Cities
9.9 COMPASS MODE: Calibrating the Compass
If the watch has not been calibrated, the
compass readings will not be precise.
The watch will need to be calibrated at the
following times:
• The watch is used for the First Time
• The Battery has been Replaced
• The “OFF CAL” Indicator appears and the digits
are flashing
• The compass is being used in a new location
• The User wishes to regulate the precision of
the digital compass. It is advisable to routinely
calibrate the watch to achieve more accurate
compass readings
The Calibration Procedures
• Compass Calibration includes two (2) different
procedures:
•
Rotation Calibration:
In the Rotation
Calibration Display Setting, physically
rotate the watch two turns to regulate the
precision
•
Magnetic Declination Setting:
In the
Magnetic Declination Display Setting, input
the Magnetic Declination of the current
position of the watch
9.10 COMPASS MODE: Calibrating the Compass – Rotation Calibration Display
• From Compass Mode, Press & Hold the [M]
button to select the Rotation Calibration
Display
• Press the [S/S] button to start the display
rotation. As the pointer is rotating around
the rim of the watch, turn the watch in the
same direction as the pointer is moving for
more than two 360 degree turns. Keep the
watch horizontal and flat)
• After more than two rotations, Press the
[S/S] button to complete the calibration and
stop the pointer
• Once the pointer is stopped, Press & Hold
the [M] button to return to Compass Display
Mode OR Press the [M] button once to enter
the Magnetic Declination setting display
9.11 COMPASS MODE: Calibrating the Compass – Magnetic Declination Display
Before Setting, you will need to gather the
Magnetic Declination Angle information for
your location. This information will be entered
into the watch during calibration. Some major
cities are shown in the chart in this booklet.
• From the Rotation Calibration Display, Press
the [M] button
• When the number is flashing, use the [S/S]
or [L/R] button to increase or decrease the
number
• When the setting is complete, Press & Hold
the [M] button to exit the setting display. The
watch will also exit the setting mode if no
button has been pressed for 1 minute.
10.0 lOW BATTERy INDICATOR & BATTERy REPlACEMENT
• This watch contains a CR2032 button cell battery
• When the battery is low, the Low Battery Indicator
will appear on
the display
• This indicator can also appear when the watch is in a cold
temperature. If this is the case, the indicator will disappear when the
temperature warms
• Never open the caseback or attempt to replace the battery. This should
only be done by a trained watch repair facility
• Each time the battery is replaced, the compass will need to be
calibrated in order to give accurate readings
11.0 Power Saving Mode
This watch has a Power Saving Function which will turn off
the LCD display to save battery life.
While in Power Save Mode, the watch will still keep time.
• From Current Time Mode, Press & Hold the [L/R] button for
about 5 seconds until the display turns off
• Press any key to exit Power Save Mode and the display will
be restored
