COMPASS CALIBRATION
For best results, it is recommended to perform manual compass calibrations away
from ferrous objects, buildings and vehicles. In addition, concrete can contain steel
rebar which may influence compass calibrations.
WARNING
Verify ALTA 8 is disarmed prior to performing a compass
calibration. To ensure ALTA 8 does not arm, remove the
Configuration Jumper, set the mode switch to Height or
Position, or set the home switch to Set New Home Position.
NOTE
It is recommended to use two people to perform the
compass calibration as it requires handling and rotating
ALTA 8. Perform calibration without a payload attached.
NOTE
Ensure a microSD card is installed in the GPS/compass
module prior to performing compass calibration.
