• bearing degrees;
• a North-South arrow;
• a bearing track mode showing desired direction and actual bearing;
• a bubble level for accuracy r3 degrees (only in the Vector);
• a rotating bezel;
• a resolution of 1° for the bearing, +5° for North-South direction; and
• a declination correction feature.
To view and use the Compass Mode:
Check the Mode Indicator Bar. If the mode arrow is not on COMP, PRESS the [Mode] button until the arrow is
directly below COMP on the bar.
In the COMPASS mode (Fig. 6):
• Field 1 displays the cardinal or half-cardinal point.
• Field 2 displays the bearing in degrees.
• Field 3 displays the current time.
• The Outer Circumference graphically displays the North-South arrow where one-lit segment shows North
and three-lit segments show South.
The Wristop Computer provides a bubble level for the user to achieve a precise reading 3 degrees. The
user should acquire a bearing by removing the Wristop Computer from the wrist. The user centers the liquid
bubble to ensure the Wristop Computer position is level and takes a reading.
The compass display is active for 45 seconds at a time. After this, the compass enters “sleep” mode and an “-
--°” indicator appears in the field 2. Reactivate the compass by pressing the [-] button.
Note: Compass readings should be performed away from objects possessing sources of magnetism. Avoid
buildings, large metal objects, power lines, loudspeakers, electric motors etc.
Always take bearings in the open air, not inside tents, caves, or other shelters.
