Making Ordinary Products Extraordinary
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have purchased one of the most
sophisticated compasses available for use in
a vehicle. The Waynder V7000 is a valuable
tool for your vehicle, utilizing technology to
make a digital compass easy and informative
to use, while incorporating patented magnetic
sensor technology to give you accurate
compass headings. PNI’s magnetic sensor
technology electronically measures your
vehicle’s magnetic eld and calibrates for
inaccuracies mathematically with its built-in
microprocessor. The result is unequaled
compass performance in a vehicle
environment.
Features
• Uses patented magnetic sensor technology, same as the built-in compasses in
GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles.
• 3-Mode compass shows direction with
compass rose, 8 cardinal points, and 1°
numeric digits.
• Altimeter displays the current altitude in
feet or meters.
• Barometer displays barometric pressure
and up/down trends to determine
weather patterns.
1
FEATURES
• Weather forecast predicts sun, cloud, or
rain based on barometric pressure .
• “Auto-Integrate” circuitry, automatically
turns the unit on (when engine is turned
on and unit is used with 12-volt adapter)
or off when no magnetic eld changes
have been sensed for 10 minutes.
• Indicates inside temperature, outside
temperature and ICE alert in either
Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• Declination adjustment allows the unit to
be set to either true or magnetic north.
• Bearing point stores compass heading in
memory to stay on desired course.
• Programmable backlight auto shut-off
feature.
• Photo sensor feature turns the backlight
on or off depending on the amount of
ambient light.
• Distortion indicator alerts you when
magnetic interference from outside
sources, such as steel from a bridge or
overpass, is affecting compass accuracy.
• Holographic LCD improves brightness
and contrast while removing glare.
• 2-year extended warranty.

DISPLAY AND BUTTONS
The Waynder V7000 displays direction of
travel in three different formats: (1) cardinal
points, (2) numeric digits (325°, 330°, etc.),
and (3) compass rose. The eight cardinal
points of a compass (N, NE, E, etc.) give
you the general direction. The numeric digits
show your exact direction to the nearest
1°. The compass rose arrow points in the
direction you are heading relative to north.
The slow ashing of the degree symbol in
line 2 indicates when magnetic interference
is compromising compass accuracy or when
a battery has been installed.
Buttons
ON/OFF button
Press or any other button to turn
compass on and hold to turn compass
off. Once on, pressing toggles the
backlight on or off.
STEP button
Press in normal display mode to toggle
between displaying “IN TEMP” (inside temperature), “OUT TEMP“ (outside temperature), and “BEARING” (bearing point). Press

INSTALLATION
Step 1: Installing the battery
The Waynder V7000 uses a CR123 Lithium
type battery, installed according to the
diagram on the inside of the battery
compartment. Push the battery straight down
into the compartment, not at an angle. To
remove, open the battery compartment and
tap the back of the unit against the palm of
your hand and the battery will come out.
Once the battery is inserted, the unit will
go through a quality test. If the display
becomes stuck, remove the battery, wait for
approximately one minute, and then reinsert
the battery.
If the battery is the only power source,
whenever the battery is changed or removed,
the Waynder V7000 must be recalibrated
and all previous feature settings must be reset.
With the 12-volt adapter or the hardwire
kit installed, the battery may be removed or
changed without affecting any settings.
The Waynder V7000 has an auto shut-off feature. When no magnetic eld change has been
detected for approximately 10 minutes, the
compass automatically switches off and saves
all settings. Note: The unit also switches on
automatically if used with the 12-volt adapter
(see next section).

INSTALLATION
Step 2: Installing the 12-volt adapter
Installing the 12-volt adapter is optional, but
highly recommended. Insert the small end
into the jack marked “POWER,” located on
the back of the compass, and plug the large
end into your cigarette lighter receptacle.
The Waynder V7000 switches on
automatically when it senses the engine
is on. This feature is operational only
when the 12-volt adapter is used or the
optional hardwire kit is installed.
The photo sensor feature of the
Waynder V7000, which allows the
backlight to turn on automatically, is
operational only when the 12-volt
adapter is used or the optional hardwire
kit is installed.
Since cars do not always have constant
power supplied to the lighter receptacle,
you must keep a battery in the Waynder
V7000 at all times to allow the unit to
keep memory settings.
A 15-foot (4.5m) hardwire kit is
available at additional cost. See Optional
Accessories.

INSTALLATION
Step 3: Installing the external
temperature sensor
The Waynder V7000 has a built-in internal
temperature sensor designed to measure
the temperature inside the vehicle at the
windshield (“IN TEMP”).
The Waynder V7000 also includes a wire
temperature tether designed to measure
the temperature outside the vehicle (“OUT
TEMP”). The sensor end of the tether
must be mounted outside of the passenger
compartment, away from engine heat or
direct sunlight, in a place where there is
natural airow to the sensor, such as in the
grill area or door jamb. It is best to adhere the
sensor on a surface that is least conductive
to heat -- such as on a rubber or plastic
surface as opposed to the steel body of the
vehicle. The temperature from this sensor is
displayed as “OUT TEMP.”
Every vehicle is different, making it impossible
to list all possible sensor locations. Use
your best judgment to select the site for
the temperature sensor and experiment with
various locations, if necessary.

HEADER
INSTALLATION
To install the external temperature
sensor:
1. Insert the connector end of the tether
into the jack marked “TEMP,” located on
the back of the compass. The jack is
keyed for easy identication.
2. Adhere the sensor end of the tether
outside of the passenger compartment.
Make sure the mounting surface is free of
oil and dirt.
3. Use the included retainer clips to secure
the temperature tether to the windshield
or dashboard (optional).
If the temperature sensor is not plugged
in and is toggled to “outside
temperature” display, the message
“PLUG IN TEMP CABLE” will scroll in
the upper right corner three times, then
will display “_ _ _ °F.”
Do not leave the unit in a parked vehicle
that is likely to be exposed to extremely
hot or cold temperatures.
A 30-foot (9m) temperature sensor is
available at additional cost. See
Optional Accessories.

INSTALLATION
Windshield Mounting:
1. Install the suction cups into the mounting
bracket by sliding them into their holes
(if not pre-installed).
2. Do not loosen the screw at the pivot point
where the two-piece bracket is assembled
(see illustration next page).
3. Hold the base plate where the suction
cups are attached in one hand and the
compass shaped holder in the other.
4. Pull the sections apart to disengage
teeth and swivel to desired angle while
still maintaining the space between the
bracket teeth. Release once desired angle
is achieved and check that the teeth have
locked securely into place.
5. With the battery and/or 12-volt adapter
installed, slide the unit all the way into the
compass shaped holder until you hear/
feel the “click” when the locking ngers
slip into place and press the suction cup
base rmly against the windshield. If
necessary, apply a thin layer of petroleum
jelly to improve suction cup grip.
6. Insert the small plug end of the 12-volt
adapter into the jack marked “POWER”,
