How
to
Calibrate
Your
Compass
(SLR
600
Only)
Until
you
calibrate
the
internal
magnetic
compass,
1:1will
be
shown.
The
compass
detects
the
weak
magnetic
field
of
the
Earth.
It
also
detects
magnetic
fields
produced
by
your
vehicle,
audio
speakers,
and
other
electronics.
Calibration
al-
lows
the
compass
electronics
to
measure
and
store
informa-
tion
about
all
magnetic
fields
in
your
vehicle
so
it
can
ignore
them!
To
calibrate,
go
to
the
Menu -Users Settings
and
scroll
right until
you
see
the
compass
icon
.
Select
this,
and
follow
the
instructions
on
the
screen.
ou
will
be
asked
to
drive
your
vehicle
in
two
complete
circles.
A
large
parking
lot
is
the
most
convenient
place
to
do
this.
Please
be
careful
when
making
the
circles
and
watch
for
other
traffic. It
does
not
matter
what
direction
your
vehicle
is
pointing
when
you
start
the
circles,
which
direction
you
go
to
make
the
circles,
and
it
does
not
have
to
be
exactly
two
circles.
You
do
NOT
have
to
make
perfect
circles.
It
does
not
matter
what
size
the
circles
are,
if
your
speed
is
constant,
or
how
fast
you
make
the
circles
[but
less
than
two
minutes].

You will only need to calibrate the compass once. However, if
you move your SLR-600 to a different location in the vehicle, or
to adifferent vehicle, it is best to calibration again.
Note: If your compass is unable to detect the magnetic field of
the Earth it cannot give the correct reading. This may happen if
you are under a bridge, inside a parking garage or any building
constructed with metal framework. Other nearby vehicles with
alot
of metal may also cause your compass to give inaccurate
readings. Your compass will work again correctly as soon as you
get away from these. There is no need to calibrate your compass
again after this.
