When do I need to calibrate the compass?
The Wayfinder V700 needs to be calibrated
when used for the first time, when used in
an environment with a different magnetic
field, or when the batteries are removed or
replaced. Using the Wayfinder V700 in a
different environment includes moving it to a
new position in the same vehicle, installing it
in a different vehicle, or when there has been
a change to your vehicle such as installation
of new electrical equipment such as a stereo
or CD. The Wayfinder V700 must be hand
calibrated (see page 11) before first use
outside the vehicle.
What are the benefits of Vehicle Mode and
Hand Mode?
The Wayfinder V700 includes an additional
electronic sensor which allows it to store
two calibration settings: one for use when
the unit is mounted vertically in its bracket
(vehicle mode), the other for use outside the
vehicle in a horizontal position (hand mode).
This allows you to use the compass in two
different magnetic fields (inside or outside
the vehicle) without needing to recalibrate
each time you change environments.
