!
Keep the Watch away from magnets or the
appliances that contain magnetic fields such as
mobile phones, speakers, motors and etc.
This Watch, like most magnetic compass, points to
the magnetic north which is slightly different
from the true north.
Perform the compass calibration on the following
conditions:
1) Use the Watch the first time,
2)When the magnetic distortion icon 'DIST'
indicator is flashing,
3) The battery has been replaced, and
4) Use the Watch on a location where is apart from
the place in which the compass had been
calibrated.
!To achieve an accurate result, you should avoid
measuring a direction under the following conditions:
1) The watch is close to magnetic or metal
objects,
2) The watch is close to electrical appliances, and
3) The watch is inside a moving object or a
ferroconcrete building.
To Set the Dual Time Mode

11.2 Compass Mode - Magnetic Declination
What is Magnetic Declination
!
!The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and True
North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its amount (degrees
and minutes) and direction (easterly and westerly) depend on
where you are.
!
This Watch also includes a compensation
setting for Magnetic Declination. Check the coming 'Calibrating
the Compass' section for more detail of the setting.
Magnetic Declination Information
!Most topographic maps shown magnetic north pole and or the
magnetic declination information. This manual includes the
magnetic declination information for the major cities over the
world. Check the 'Magnetic Declination at Major Cities' section
for more detail.
!For those cities whose names are not included in the list, you
may refer to the links below (as at 28 Aug 2004):
1) http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/mirp_e.shtml
2)
!Get the location's latitude and longitude before using the link.
The Magnetic North Pole which is slightly different from the True
North Pole. This Watch, like most magnetic compass, points to
the Magnetic North Pole. But, everything measure from a map is
related to the True North Pole.
For serious compass user or who intends to perform accurate
navigation, compass must be adjusted to compensate of
magnetic declination.

Compensate an object's bearing by subtract westerly
(W) magnetic declination or add easterly (E)
magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.

Example 1
Westerly magnetic declination (W): 23°; the
magnetic bearing (MB): 323°.
The true bearing (TB) = 323° (MB) - 23° (W) = 300°
Example 2
!Easterly magnetic declination (E): 22°8; the
magnetic bearing (MB): 278°.
!The true bearing (TB) = 278°(MB) + 22°(E) = 300°
!This Watch will compensate the compass bearing

11.7 Compass Mode - Compass Direction and Bearing
11.8 Compass Mode - Compass Direction versus Compass Bearing
To define the Direction of an Object
The direction of an object (from a point) can be
specified in term of either compass direction or
compass bearing.
This Watch provides both compass direction and
compass bearing.
The Compass Points
!The compass directions are North, Northeast, East.
Southeast, South, Southwest, West and Northwest,
and etc.
!For the examples in the adjacent diagram, the
compass direction of object B from point A is East.
The compass direction of object C from point A is
Southeast.
The Compass Bearing
!The digital bearing direction of an object is defined as
the angular difference between North and the
object. (Assuming that 0 for North, and the
measuring range is from 0 to 359 )
!For the examples in the adjacent diagram, the
compass bearing of object B from point A is 90 . The
compass bearing of object C from point A is 135 .
The compass bearing of object D from point A is
315 .

11.10 Compass Mode - Backward Bearing Direction
11.9 Compass Mode - Measure Compass Directions
Backward Bearing Directions
backward bearing direction of an
object.
The backward bearing direction is the bearing
direction that on the opposite direction from normal
bearing direction.
When the 'Backward Bearing' indicator is
appeared, the Watch will exhibit the backward
bearing direction of the direction which the
watch is now pointing.
NOTE: In Backward Bearing Compass Mode, the
magnetic north pointer and the compass direction will
keep exhibit the normal bearing readouts.
To Select Normal Bearing and Backward Bearing
!Press the [mode] button to select between normal
and backward bearing directions, in the Compass
Mode.
!The backward bearing will be returned to normal
bearing automatically when the following conditions
is fulfilled:
1) the Watch changing to standby Mode.
2) the Watch changing to Current Time Mode.
!The Watch provides

To Take a compass measurement
!When taking a compass measurement, make sure
that the Watch is parallel to the horizon.
IMPORTANT: If the watch does not parallel to the
horizon when taking a measurement, the result
may be inaccurate.
!Turn the Watch until the navigation arrow is pointing
to the direction of the way which intends to go or
pointing to the target object's direction. Then, press
the [LAP/RESET] button to select the Compass
Mode.
!The compass direction and the compass bearing of
the target object will be exhibited on the 1st and 2 nd
row of the display respectively. The bar graph pointer
will point to the direction of magnetic north.

Compass Lock
!This Watch provides a compass lock function to secure
important compass reading.
!When the compass lock indicator ' ' is exhibited, the
the compass reading will not be changed even the watch
is pointing to another object.
To Lock/Unlock the Compass Lock
!Press the [ST./STP.] button to lock/unlock the compass
readings in the Compass Mode.
!The compass lock will be unlocked automatically when
the following conditions is fulfilled:
.1) The Watch is changing to standby mode.
2) The Watch is changing to Current Time Mode.
Check the Current Position by Backward Bearing
!This Watch can be used to check the current position in
outdoor by using backward bearing:
1. Locate two distant and identifiable landmarks from the
current position, for the example in the adjacent
diagram, the two landmarks are mountain A and B.
2. Consult a map to find out the mountain A and B's
locations on the map.
3. Using the Watch to check out the backward bearings
of mountain A and B from the current position, such as
1358 for mountain A and 2708 for mountain B.
4. Use protractor and ruler to draw the line 1358 and
lines 2708 on the map which starting from the
mountain A and B respectively.
5. The current position will be at the intersection point
(point A) of the lines 1358 and 2708.

To Check the Track Course Correct
!When hiking on a trail, this Watch can keep the trail course
correct.
!For the example in the adjacent diagram, the correct trail
is running from point A to point E.
Before the Hiking
!Before the hiking, mark the turning points of the trail on the
map such as the point A, B, C, D and E. Using a protractor
to check out the compass bearings of these markings as
follows:
1) Point B from point A (315 ),
2) Point C from point B (0 ),
3) Point D from point C (225 ), and
4) Point E from point D (315 ).
During the Hiking
!Using the Watch to take the navigation direction at the
turning points.
IMPORTANT: If you doubt of the conditions and directions
of the trail, consult the park office before starting your
hiking.
