How to Calibrate the Compass
+
The compass calibration includes two different
processes. They are the Rotation Calibration and
Magnetic Declination Setting.
+
Rotation Calibration: Turn the XG-30 for more
than 2 turns in the Rotation Calibration Display
to
+
Magnetic Declination Setting: Input the magnetic
declination of the city which is close to your
current position into the XG-30 in the Magnetic
Declination Display
+
It is advisable to carry out them both from time
to time, this practice achieves the more accurate
compass reading.

Rotation Calibration Display
+
To select the Rotation Calibration Display,
hold the [SEL] button in Compass Display.
+
To start rotation calibration, press [S/S] button
once, and then the pointer will start rotating.
+
When the pointers is rotating, turn the XG-30
(keep parallel to the horizon) in the same
direction as the rotating pointers for more
than 2 turns.
+

completed, press the [S/S] or [L/R] button to
stop the calibration and the pointer.
+
When the pointer is stopped, hold the [SEL]
button to back to the Compass Display or
press the [SEL] button once to set the
magnetic declination.
Magnetic Declination Display
+
Check the previous chapter 9.7 to get the
magnetic declination of the city which is close
to your current position. That angle will be
inputted into the XG-30 during the calibration.
+
To select Magnetic Declination Display, press
the [SEL] button in Rotation Calibration
Display.
+
When the current magnetic declination is
appeared, press the [S/S] or [L/R] button to
increase / decrease the number. (Hold down
the button to change the number at a higher
speed).
+
When the setting is completed, hold down the
[SEL] button to exit the setting display. The
XG-30 will also exit the setting display if NO
keystroke has been activated for 1 minute.

When the low-battery indicator appears on the
display, it means that the capacity of the
battery is low. It is recommended to replace
the battery with a new CR2032.
+
However, if the appearance of low-battery
indicator is caused by using the XG-30 under
very cold condition, the indicator will be
