Precautions for using the Compass
• Keep your Watch away from magnets or any appliances
which may contain magnetic objects such as mobile
phones, speakers, motors and etc.
• The Watch, like most magnetic compass, points to the
magnetic north which is slightly different from the true
north. Check the 'What is Magnetic Declination' section
for more details.
• Perform the compass calibration from time to time,
because the calibration can ensure the precision of the
compass.
• To achieve an accurate result, you should avoid
measuring direction on the following conditions:
1) The watch is placed close to the magnetic objects.
2) The watch is placed close to the metal objects.
3) The watch is placed close to the electrical
appliances.
4) The watch is placed inside a moving object or a
ferroconcrete building.
The Direction of an Object
• The direction of an object from a point can be specified
in either compass directions or bearing directions.
• The Watch includes both compass directions and
bearing directions.
The Compass Directions
• The compass directions are shown in the adjacent
table.
• For example, in the figure on the left, the compass
direction of object B from point A is due East. The
compass direction of object C from point A is Southeast.
The compass direction of object D from point A is
Northwest.
The Bearing Directions
• The Bearing direction of an object is defined as the
angular difference between North and the object.
(Assume 0°for due North, and the measuring range is
from 0° to 359°).
• For example, in the figure on the left, the bearing
direction of object B from point A is 90°. The bearing
direction of object C from point A is 135°. The bearing
direction of object D from point A is 315°.
Check your position by Backward Bearing Directions
• Spot two distant identifiable landmarks like mountains,
light-house, fort or building from yourcurrent position, for
example the mountains A and B.
• Check out the backward bearing directions of mountains
A and B from your current position, for example 135°
from mountain A and 270° from mountain B.
• Use a ruler to draw a line 135° from the north at the
mountain A to your current position on the map. Draw
another line 270° from the north at the mountain B to
your current position on the map.
• Your current position on the map will be the intersection
(point A) of the lines 135° from the mountain A and 270°
from the mountain B.
The Compass Directions
• During a trekking, the Watch can keep your course in a
correct way. For example, the correct trail starts from
point A and finishes at point E as drawn on the adjacent
map.
• Mark the points (identifiable landmarks) where the trail
turns its direction or the trail branches its way, such as
the points A, B, C, D and E on the adjacent map.
• Find out the bearing directions of point B from point A
(315°), point C from point B (0°), point D from point C
(225°), and then point E from point D (315°).
• During the trekking, make sure that the heading
direction is 315° from point A to point B. Performing the
similar checking in other sections of the trail helps you
keep your course correctly.
MPORTANT: If you are in doubt of the directions and
positions of the trail, consult the park administration office
before starting the trekking.
Compass Mode
• In the Compass Mode, the top row of the display shows
the bearing direction.
• The middle row of the display shows the compass
direction.
• The bottom row of the display shows the current time in
hour and minute.
• The pointer encircled the display shows the direction of
magnetic North analogically.
IDLE Mode
• If no key is pressed for about 1 minute, the watch will go
to the IDLE Mode automatically. To activate the
compass again, press any button.
Distortion
• If distortion is detected, the bearing direction will flash.
• Please refer to the coming section "Calibrating the
Compass" to restore the compass to normal operation
when distortion is detected.

What is Magnetic Dection
• The Magnetic North Pole is slightly different from the True
North Pole.
• The WeatherMaster, like most magnetic compass, points to
the Magnetic North Pole. On the contrary, everything
measured on a map is related to the True North Pole.
• The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and
True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its
magnitude (degrees and minutes) and direction (easterly
and westerly) depend on where you are in the world.
• For a serious compass user who intends to perform an
accurate navigation, the compass must be adjusted for
magnetic declination.
• The Watch also includes a compensation setting for
Magnetic Declination. Check the coming section
"Calibrating the compass - Magnetic Declination Mode" for
more details.
Magnetic Declination Information
• Most topographic maps include a small arrow which shows
the magnetic north pole and magnetic declination
information.
• For the benefit of the user, this manual includes the
magnetic declinations for some major cities. Check the
coming section 'Magnetic Declination at Major Cities' for
more details.
• For those cities, their names are not included on the list,
please check the online magnetic declination information at:

with Westerly (W) Magnetic Declination
Magnetic Declination Compensation
• To compensate for an object's bearing, either subtract
westerly (W) magnetic declination or add easterly(E)
magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.
• Example 1: Westerly magnetic declination 23°and the
compass needle points 323°.
- TB = MB - W. When MB = 323°; W =23°
- TB = 323° - 23°
- TB = 300°
- The true bearing is 300°
• Example 2: Easterly magnetic declination 22° and the
compass needle points 278°.
- TB = MB + E. When MB = 278°; E = 22°
- TB = 278°+ 22°
- TB = 300°
- The true bearing is 300°
• The Watch allows you to compensate the compass
bearing at a place where the magnetic declination is
either Westerly declination or Easterly declination.
• Check the coming section "Calibrating the Compass" for
more details of the setting.

When to Calibrate the Compass
• The Watch has to employ a compass calibration in one
of the following conditions:
1) The Watch is being used for the first time,
2) The battery is replaced,
3) The bearing direction digits are flashing,
4) The compass is used in a location that is apart from
the place in which the compass has been calibrated,
5) The user intends to manitain the precision of the
digital compass.
How to Calibrate the Compass
• The compass calibration includes two different
processes: Rotation Calibration Mode and Magnetic
Declination Setting.
• It is advisable to conduct both calibrations from time to
time to achieve a more accurate reading.
IMPORTANT: If the compass has not been calibrated, the
direction made by the compass may be inaccurate.

Rotation Calibration Display
• To select the Rotation Calibration Display, hold the [M]
button in the Compass Mode.
• To start rotation calibration, press [S/S] button once.
• Start turning the watch (keep your watch horizontally) in
the same direction.
• Rotote the watch until the rectangular pattern is filled.
• The word “Done!” will be shown when finishes.
Power Saving Mode
• This Watch has a Power Saving Function which can
turn off the LCD display so that the battery can last
longer.
• In the Power Saving Mode, the watch function is still
working normally. (i.e. The timekeeping function is still
running in Power Saving Mode.)
How to enter/exit the Power Saving Mode
• To enter the Power Saving Mode, hold down the [L/R]
button in Current Time Mode for about 5 seconds and
the LCD display will be turned off.
• Press any key in Power Saving Mode to exit this mode
and the LCD display will be resumed.
Magnetic Declination Mode
• Check the coming section "Magnetic Declination at
Major Cities" to choose the magnetic declination of the
city which is close to your current position. The angle
will be input into the Watch during the calibration.
• To select Magnetic Declination Display, press the [M]
button in Rotation Calibration Display.
• When the current magnetic declination appears, press
the [S/S] or [L/R] button to increase/ decrease the
number. (Hold down the button to change the number at
a higher speed).
• When the setting is completed, hold the [M] button to
confirm the setting and exit the adjustment display.
Low Battery Detection
• When the battery-low indicator appears on the display, it
means that the capacity of the battery is low. It is
recommended to replace the battery with a new
CR2032 battery.
• However, if the appearance of battery-low indicator is
caused by using the Watch under very cold condition,
the indicator will disappear when normal temperature
returns.
NOTE: It is recommended to complete the battery
replacement by a certified service agency because this
Watch contains delicate electronic sensors and
components.
NOTE: The memory will be cleared when the battery is
replaced. Follow the previous section "Calibrating the
Compass" to calibrate the compass before using the
Compass.
