GBR
6 - Installation
Mount the
Micro Compass
within 20˚of the vertical to ensure the compass is
able to operate accurately. Mounting at a more extreme
angle will cause deviation errors.
Mount the cradle to a bulkhead or a bracket supplied by Tacktick. Now
simply clip your
Micro Compass
to its cradle each time you sail.
When you leave the boat, do remember to take your
Micro Compass
away
with you
IN ITS SOFTPACK
to ensure it cannot switch itself on and
discharge. Remember that
Micro Compass
switches on by responding to an
increase in the light level at the solar cell.
7 - Maintenance
The
Micro Compass
is totally sealed against water and is not serviceable.
Any attempt to take the
Micro Compass
apart, other than as described in
this user guide, will invalidate the warranty.
To clean, use only a damp soft cloth. No detergents, solvents or abrasives
should be used.
To avoid damaging the
Micro Compass
and to ensure it remains switched
off, always store the
Micro Compass
in its soft pack.
When sailing in bright sunlight it should not be necessary to recharge your
Micro Compass
after use. If the battery level falls below 50 hours, recharge
by leaving on a windowsill facing outside towards the sun until the battery
level is recharged to 200 hours.

Ensure the mounting bracket is secure and check that the security
bolts are tight before each race.
