Precautions
Caution:
This unit is water resistant but not water proof. Do not submerse in water. When
installing the battery, make sure the gasket is properly seated (see battery installation instructions).
Avoid leaving out in the rain.
Caution:
Keep away from strong magnetic forces, which can destroy the compass.
Caution:
Do not drop or apply excessive force to the LCD display. When replacing the battery,
apply force to the outer ring.
Caution:
Do not operate outside of the specified temperature range (14 to 140 °F). Use your
body warmth to keep within the low temperature range.
Note:
Do not use a magnetized CR2032 battery, which can corrupt the compass measurement.
Note:
Do not use near strong magnetic or EMI forces (TVs, computers, electronics) which can
corrupt the compass measurement.

Installing the Battery
Rotate the back cover counter clockwise about 20°, gripping the unit with both hands, using your
index fingers and thumbs. Rotate until it stops, then gently pry off the back cover with your fingers,
exposing the battery compartment.
Note:
you may have to squeeze on the outer ring (not the display) and apply force in the
clockwise and counterclockwise direction repeatedly (work back and forth) to free the back cover
after extended use, due to sweat and other debris. Make sure your fingers are dry.
Insert the CR2032 battery (+ side up), and close the back cover, insuring the gasket is firmly seated in
the housing trace, as shown in Figure 1.
To remove the battery, use a small pen or paperclip to pry the battery out of the battery compartment.
