Magnetic Declination Mode

When  to  Calibrating  the  Compass

!

The  Watch  has  to  employ  a  compass  calibration 

in  one  of  the  following  conditions: 

1)  The  Watch  is  using  for  the  first  time, 

How  to  Calibrate  the  Compass

The  compass  calibration  includes  two  different

!

It  is  advisable  to  carry  out  them  both  from  time 
to  time,  that  achieves  a  more  accurate  reading.

IMPORTANT

:  If  the  Watch  has  not  been  calibrated, 

the  direction  made  by  the  Watch  may  be  a 
inaccurate  direction. 

2)  The  battery  has  been  replaced,

3)  The  bearing  direction  digits  are  flashing,  and 

the  "

OFF  CAL

"  indicator  appear,

4)  The  compass  use  in  a  location  that  is  apart 

from  the  place  in  which  the  compass  had 
been  calibrated, 

5)  The  user  intends  to  regulate  the  precision  of 

the  digital  compass.

Rotation  Calibration  Display

!

To  select  the  Rotation  Calibration  Display,    hold 
the  [M]  button  in   Compass  Mode. 

!

To  start  rotation  calibration,  press  [S/S]  button 
once.  The  pointers  will  start  rotating,  turning  the 
watch  (keep  parallel  to  the  horizon)  in  the  same 
direction  of  the  rotating  pointers  for  more  than  2 
turns.

!

Press  [S/S]  or  [L/R]  button  to  stop  the  calibration 
when  the  2-turn  rotation  calibration  is  completed.

!

When  the  pointer  stop  rotating,  hold  the  [M] 
button  to  go  back  to  the  Compass  Mode  or  press

Watch  during  the calibration.

!

To  select Magnetic  Declination  Display,  press  the 
[M]  button  in  Rotation  Calibration  Display.

!

When  the  current  magnetic  declination   appears, 
press  the [S/S]  or  [L/R]  button  to  increase  /

change  the  number  at  a  higher speed).  

!

If  the  setting  is  completed,  hold  the  [M]  button  to 
confirm  the  setting  and  exit  the  adjustment 
display.

14.0 Battery - 

Battery Low Indication and Battery Replacement

Battery  Low  Detection

!

When  the  battery-low  indicator  appears  on  the 
display,  it  means  that  the  capacity  of  the 
battery  is  low.  It  is  recommended  to  replace  the 
battery  with  a  new  CR2032  battery.

!

However,  if  the  appearance  of  the  battery-low 
indicator  is  caused  by  using  the  Watch  under 
very  cold  condition,  the  indicator  will  disappear 
when  normal  temperature  returns.

NOTE: 

It  is  recommended  to  complete  the  battery 

replacement  by
