Micro Compass
5 - Operating Instructions
5.1. Switching on and off
To switch ON Micro Compass automatically switches on when you take it
out of the soft pack. This is because it responds to the
increase in light level at the solar cell. To switch the unit on if
the unit is already out of its soft pack, you must cover the
solar cell with your hand, then uncover it. Note that indoor
light may not be sufficient to make your unit switch on.
To switch OFF First put your Micro Compass into its softpack so that stray
light cannot turn the unit back on again. Now press and hold
down the mode key until the display clears (this will take 2
seconds)
If Micro Compass detects no movement for 7 minutes it will power
down (this does not happen at sea).
5.2. Before the race
Before the race, you will need to set up
the countdown timer. To move between
the three modes (Compass, Timer and
Tactics) press the mode key. To start the
countdown timer, you need to be in Timer
mode.
Setting the Countdown Timer
1. Check you are in Timer mode.
2. If you need to change the start time
(eg from 6 minutes to 10 minutes),
then “stab” both
mode and set keys
together (i.e. briefly press and release
them). Adjust the time up or down with
the
set or mode key. When you have
the right time, “stab” the mode and set
keys again.

The set key can be used at any
time whilst in Timer mode to
resynchronise the timer to the
nearest whole minute.
The countdown timer can be set
up to 20 minutes. Between 10
and 20 minutes the display will
show decimal minutes rather
than seconds (e.g. 12:5 means
12 minutes, 30 seconds).
Look for the Timer mode
indicator at the top of the display.
