5.3 CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
A compass calibration should be done whenever the Observer is exposed to a strong
magnetic source, extreme cold weather, the battery is replaced, or you suspect that other
environmental conditions have affected the compass readings. If you notice that the
compass is not showing the direction correctly, you should do the calibration.
NOTE:
Calibrate the compass before you use it for the first time, and before you leave
for an extended outdoor activity.
To begin the calibration:
1. Press the [SELECT] button twice when in the main compass mode. The top field
displays the text “CMP”, and the bottom field displays the text “CAL” (Fig. 5.4).
2. Press the [SELECT] button for 2 seconds. In the middle field, the text “PUSH” will
begin to flash, alternating with the sign “-” (Fig. 5.5). This indicates the button
[QUICK / -].
3. Press the [QUICK] button to start calibration. The middle field displays 360º and the
LCD ring on the outer circumference light (Fig. 5.6).
4. Hold the Observer level and slowly rotate the device in a full clockwise or counter-
clockwise circle. As you turn, the lit LCD segments will turn off.
