C. Watch will then call for you to enter DECLINATION. Pressing
HEADING
will exit calibration
mode and leave watch set to measure magnetic north. Entering a declination value instead
will allow the watch to point to true north, by adjusting for the angle, which varies for dif-
ferent spots on the globe.
D. To set watch for true north, enter declination angle for your location from the chart below.
Press START to advance flashing TENS OF DEGREES, press

Finding Direction
A. Hold watch level relative to the horizon in any mode but ALARM. Press
HEADING
to display
compass heading indicated by red arrow on watch face (12 o'clock position). You may wish
to turn bezel around watch face to correspond to measured direction. Press

again
to cancel heading display (if not cancelled, compass heading will display for ten seconds).
B. When pressing
HEADING
to obtain heading, watch may display HOLD TO CAL indicating cali-
bration is needed. You can recalibrate at your option; see instructions above.
*Some watch models have a leveling bubble above the 12 o’clock/N position to assist in
calibrating the compass. Watch is level when the bubble is centered in the lens.
If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking or (
) is indicated.
