PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE COMPASS
USING 24-HOUR HAND TO INDICATE
DIRECTIONS (only for models with the
rotating compass bezel or ring)
•
Please use the compass in places where the sun is visible or its location is known.
•
Before using the compass, it is necessary to set the 24-hour hand to the current time of
your area.
•
The compass is so designed to provide only a rough indication of directions, and
should not be used where accuracy is critical.
•
If daylight saving time (summer time) is in effect in your area, be sure to set your watch
one hour behind the current time before using the rotating compass.
