•The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±15 degrees while the watch is horizontal (in relation to the horizon). If the indicated direction is northwest (NW) and 315 degrees, for example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 300 to 330 degrees.
•Note that performing a digital compass operation while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the horizon) can result in large error.
•You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.
•Any ongoing digital compass operation is paused temporarily while the watch is performing an alert
operation (daily alarm, Hourly Time Signal, countdown timer alarm) or while illumination is turned on (by pressing B). The digital compass operation resumes for its remaining duration after the operation that caused it to pause is finished.
•See “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31) for important information about taking direction readings.
•The direction indicated by the Digital Compass is magnetic north.
You can use Magnetic Declination Correction to configure the watch to indicate true north, if you want. For details, see “Magnetic Declination Correction” below, “To perform magnetic declination correction” (page E-26), and “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-31).
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor
You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by the watch are off. You can use any one of two different bearing sensor calibration methods: bidirectional calibration or magnetic declination correction.
• Bidirectional Calibration
Bidirectional calibration calibrates the bearing sensor in relation to magnetic north. Use bidirectional calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force. This type of calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason.
Important!
•To ensure correct direction readings by the digital compass, be sure to perform bidirectional calibration before using it. The digital compass may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional calibration.
