Set Compass
After the detector is installed in your vehicle and
Compass
is turned On
using Menu mode, the system will automatically advance to the Set Compass
calibration screen from which the calibration can be performed.
WARNING
Before calibrating the Compass, go to a large parking lot
or other safe, low-traffic area.
When the instructions direct you to drive in two circles, make two complete loops
(in either direction) from any starting orientation at any convenient speed. The
loops need not be perfect and can be circles, small squares, four three-point turns,
or any pattern that makes at least two complete turns within two minutes of
starting the maneuver.
From the Calibrate Compass screen:
1.
Press the
City
4
button to advance to the Compass screen.
2.
Drive your vehicle in two circles.
3.
Press the
Mute
6
button to complete the setting process.
The system will store the calibration data and provide a completion message on
the display as well as a tone or voice message.
NOTE
If you do not press the
Mute
6
button within two minutes after beginning the Set
Compass process, Compass calibration will automatically terminate. The unit will
provide a corresponding message.
Once the initial calibration is complete, you can go to Set Compass in the User
Settings Menu and recalibrate the Compass as needed by repeating
the three-step calibration process.
