COMPASS CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT.Watch must be calibrated before using to find directions!
NOTE: To avoid compass accuracy errors, do not depress or pull out CROWN 2 during
compass calibration or while finding direction.
This product incorporates the magnetic sensor technology of Precision Navigation, Inc.,
Mountain View, CA.
A compass works with the Earth's magnetic field; therefore you must not be in or near large
metallic objects (such as automobiles, bridges, etc.) or objects that give off electromagnetic
radiation (such as TV sets) which could interfere with the watch's calibration or use.You can-
not calibrate or obtain accurate readings from inside buildings, trains or airplanes.
To optimize accuracy, an optional two-step calibration is recommended and discussed in fur-
ther detail below. In calibrating and taking subsequent headings, it is important – as with all
compasses – to maintain a level plain relative to the earth's horizon. Performing calibration or
taking a heading when the watch is not level can result in large heading errors. Care must also
be taken to avoid areas which may exhibit higher than normal concentrations of hard and soft
iron.This is especially true given the relatively weak magnetic field of the earth relative to
other sources of magnetic fields. Failure to do so can result in inaccurate headings.Whenever
