Compass Calibration
and Environmental Interference
• It is important to know a ll digital compasses
works with Earth's magnetic field and is very
sensitive to different
env ironments where
the earth magnetic fields is distorted, such
as interference by closing to heavy melal ,
home app liance, computer and high power
cable... elc .
•
To keep a hi~h accurate heading information.
you
must ca librate the compass when
(1) the magnetic distort message "Err" is continuously
displayed
(2)
the numeric heading information with an error more than
10 degree
(3)
the unit is used for the first time in a vehicle so as to
separate the earth's field from the interference.

Enter Declination angle for the true North
• Decl ination refers to the measured difference between the magnetic
North and the North
of the map. The local declination is given on
the map marg in either as easterly plus declination (E) or as westerty
minus dec
li nation (W). When onenteering, the map direction is
corrected by subtracting
the plus declination and adding the minus
declination.
•
To input the va l ue, press and ho ld button Ato enter calibration mode
'CAL' first and press button Aagain to enter declination setting
mode "dEC'.
•
Righ t after entering the dec li nation setting mode, a letter 'E' start
to flicker. Press button C to se le ct the direction East· E or West·

An angle digrts wi ll then start 10 fl icker. To set the ang le to be offsel,
press button C

• Inorderto
understand the decl i nation effect, l eI usquote an example
,
the current direction is N 10 degree,
If the dec li nation angle Is set to e 30 degree, the fi na l directi on w ill
change to NE 40 degree or
If the declination angle is set to W 30 degree, the final direction
w
ill change to NW 340 degree
