Note
•
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for
different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there
should be no reason to change it except after you have the watch’s
rechargeable battery replaced or after power drops to Level 3.

Taking Direction Readings
The Digital Compass Mode uses a direction sensor to take direction readings. After a direction reading,
the
c
Second Hand
points towards magnetic north.
Hand Indicators
c
Second Hand:
Points to magnetic north.
v
Mode Hand:
Points to
COMP
.
Note
The
z
Hour Hand
and
x
Minute Hand
are stopped during a digital
compass reading.
To take a direction reading
1. Make sure the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode.
•
For information about changing modes, see “Selecting a Mode”
(page E-24).

2. While keeping the watch horizontal, press
C
.
•
This will enter the Digital Compass Mode, which is indicated by the
v
v
Mode Hand
moving to
COMP
.
•
The
c
c
Second Hand
will fi rst move to 12 o’clock. Next it will move to
indicate magnetic north.
•
For information about magnetic north, see “Compass Precautions”
(page E-41).
•
The
c
c
Second Hand
will continue to move for about 20 seconds after
you start the digital compass operation as it adjusts its magnetic
north reading. After that, the hand will stop at the fi nal reading.
•
To update a reading, press
C
again.
3. Press
B
to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor Reading
You should calibrate the bearing sensor reading whenever you feel that the direction readings being
produced by the watch are off. You can use either of two sensor reading calibration methods: bidirectional
calibration or northerly calibration.
•
Bidirectional Calibration and Northerly Calibration
Bidirectional calibration and northerly calibration calibrate the accuracy of the bearing sensor. Use
bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force. This
type of calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason. With northerly
calibration, you “teach” the watch which way is north (which you have to determine with another compass
or some other means).
30

E-37
Important!
The more correctly you perform bidirectional calibration, the better the accuracy of the bearing sensor
readouts. You should perform bidirectional calibration whenever you change environments where you
use the bearing sensor, and whenever you feel that the bearing sensor is producing incorrect readings.
Precautions about bidirectional calibration
•
You can use any two opposing directions for bidirectional calibration. You must, however, make sure
that they are 180 degrees opposite each other. Remember that if you perform the procedure
incorrectly, you will get wrong bearing sensor readings.
•
Do not move the watch while calibration of either direction is in progress.
•
You should perform bidirectional calibration in an environment that is the same as that where you plan
to be taking direction readings. If you plan to take direction readings in an open fi eld, for example,
calibrate in an open fi eld.
To perform bidirectional calibration
1. In the Digital Compass Mode, loosen the crown and then pull it out.
•
The
c
c
Second Hand
and
x
x
Minute Hand
will move to 12 o’clock,
and the
z
z
Hour Hand
will move to 6 o’clock.
2. Press
C
to start calibration of Point 1.
•
After about seven seconds, the
c
c
Second Hand
will move to
Y
(Yes) if Point 1 calibration was successful or to
N
(No) if it was not
successful.
•
If the
c
c
Second Hand
is pointing at
N
(unsuccessful), press
C
to
perform Point 1 calibration again.
•
If the
c
c
Second Hand
is pointing at
Y
(successful), it will move to
6 o’clock after about two seconds.
30

3. Rotate the watch 180 degrees.
4. Press
C
to start calibration of Point 2.
•
After about seven seconds, the
c
c
Second Hand
will move to
Y
(Yes) if Point 2 calibration was successful or to
N
(No) if it was not
successful.
•
If the
c
c
Second Hand
is pointing at
N
(unsuccessful), press
C
to
return to Point 1 calibration.
5. After calibration is complete, push the crown back in and then lock it.
•
This will start a magnetic north reading operation.
•
Press
B
to return to the Timekeeping Mode.
To perform northerly calibration
Important!
If you want to perform both northerly and bidirectional calibration, perform bidirectional calibration fi rst,
and then perform northerly calibration. This is necessary because bidirectional calibration cancels any
existing northerly calibration setting.
