Do not store the watch near any source of magnetism, such as a

computer, appliance, or television, as the watch can take on a magnetic

charge, yielding inaccurate headings. Typical accuracy of wrist-worn

instruments is within +/- 10 degrees.

To calibrate the compass:

1) Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the indicator hands

to stop moving.

2) Keep the watch level or place it on a level surface (if the band

interferes, place the watch on an inverted cup). The watch may be

face down, but take care to protect the watch face.

3) Press C (COMPASS) to begin. The 4th center hand rotates two revo-

lutions to remind you to rotate the watch. While level, SLOWLY rotate

the watch two revolutions, taking at least 15 seconds per revolution.

Note that the amount of time between the two markers must be less

than one minute.

Press B (FLYBACK/RESET) to reset (zero) the chronograph.

When using distances other than one mile or kilometer, multiply the

result by the distance. For example, if you are using two marks one half

mile apart, and the 4th center hand points to 80, the speed is 40 miles

per hour (1/2 x 80).

c ompass calibra tion

Before use, the compass must be calibrated.

Since a compass uses the earth’s magnetic field, you must be aware of

large metallic objects, such as vehicles or bridges, or objects that give

off electromagnetic radiation, such as televisions or computers, which

could affect the magnetic field around the watch. If the compass is

calibrated near such objects, it will only work properly in that same

location. If the compass is calibrated away from such objects, it will not

work properly near them. For best results, calibrate in the area of intend-

ed use.

In calibrating and taking headings, it is important, as with all compasses,

to keep the compass level. Calibrating or taking a heading when the

watch is not level can result in large errors. Also avoid areas that may

exhibit higher than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron, as

they may cause inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading is suspect,

recalibrate.
