The Precautions when Using HandHeld TrackMaster

- Keep your HandHeld TrackMaster away from magnets or the appliances which may contain magnetic objects such as mobile phones, speakers, motors and etc.

- The HandHeld TrackMaster, like most magnetic compass, points to the magnetic North which is slightly different from the true North. Check the 'What is Magnetic Declination' section for more detail.

- Perform the compass calibration on the following conditions:

when the HandHeld TrackMaster is used the first time,

2) when the 'DIST' indicator is flashing,

3) the battery has been replaced, and

4) use the compass in a location where is apart from the place in which the compass had been calibrated.

- To achieve an accurate result, you should avoid measuring a direction on the following conditions:

1) the watch is closed to magnetic/metal objects,

2) the watch is closed to electrical appliances, and

3) the watch is placed inside a moving object or a ferroconcrete building.

What is Magnetic Declination

- The Magnetic North Pole which is slightly different from the True North Pole. The HandHeld TrackMaster, like most magnetic compass, points to the Magnetic North Pole. On the contrary, everything measure from a map is related to the True North Pole.

- The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its amount (degrees and minutes) and direction (easterly and westerly) depend on where you are.

- For serious compass user or who intends to perform accurate navigation, compass must be adjusted to compensate of magnetic declination.

- HandHeld TrackMaster also includes a compensation

setting for Magnetic Declination. Check 'Calibrating the Compass' section for more detail of the setting.

Magnetic Declination Information

- Most topographic maps shown magnetic north pole and or the magnetic declination information.

- This manual includes the magnetic declination for some major cities. Check the 'Magnetic Declination at Major Cities' section for more detail.

- For those cities whose names are not included in the list, you may like to refer to the online magnetic declination information at:

Measure Compass Directions

- When measuring compass directions, make sure that the HandHeld TrackMaster is placed on a flat surface which is parallel to the horizon.

- If you are wearing the HandHeld TrackMaster during



the measurement, make sure that your wrist is

parallel to the horizon. IMPORTANT: If the watch does not parallel to the

horizon when taking a measurement, the result may be inaccurate.

- Point the pointer which engraved on the watch in the direction where is your target object.

- Press the [compass] button once to select the Compass Mode, in the Current Time Mode.

- The Compass points of the target object appears on the 1st row of the display. The digital bearing direction of the target object appears on the 2 n d row of the display. The arrow shape indicators on the display points the magnetic north analogically.

- Rotate the rotary direction bezel until the 'N' mark is aligned with the arrow shape indicators on the display. That action makes all of the marks on the bezel in the correct direction.

- Check the marks on the bezel to identify the other compass points.

- Spot two distant identifiable landmarks (mountains, light-houses, forts and buildings) of your current position, such as the mountain A and B.

- Consult a map to find out the mountain A and B's locations on a map.

- Check out the backward bearing directions of mountain A and B of your current position, such as 135 for

mountain A and 270 for mountain B.

- Use a ruler to draw the line 135 on the map which starting from the mountain A. Draw the lines 270 on the map which starting from the mountain B.

- Your current position will be at the intersection point (point A) of the lines 135 and 270.

To Check the Track Course Correct



- If you are hiking on a track, the HandHeld TrackMaster can keep your track course correct.

- For example, the correct track is from point A to point E as it is mentioned on the map on the left.

Before the Track

- Mark the points (identifiable landmarks) on a topographic map where the track turns its direction or the track branches its way, such as the point A, B, C, D



315

and E.

- Check the bearing directions on a topographic map of the following points:

1) point B from point A (315),

2) point C from point B (0 ),

point A

(starting point)

3) point D from point C (225 ), and

4) point E from point D (315 ).

During the Track

- Check that you are in the correct bearing direction at the turning points or where the trail branches its way.

IMPORTANT: If you doubt of the directions and positions of the track, consult a wrangler or park administration officer before starting your track.

12.0 Low Battery Indication & Auto-Light Indication

Low Battery Indication

- If the battery low indicator is appeared on the display, it means that the capacity of the battery is low. It is recommended to replace the battery with a new one (CR-2032).

- Complete the battery replacement by service agency, because this HandHeld TrackMaster contains precise electronic sensor and components.

- However, if the appearance of battery low indicator is caused by an extremely low temperature, the indicator will be disappeared when normal temperature returns.

IMPORTANT:

if the battery has been replaced. Refer to the 'Before Calibrate the Compass' and 'Calibrating the Compass' sections for more detail of the calibration.

Auto-Light Indication

- If the auto-light indicator is appeared, the auto-light feature is enabled.

- If the auto-light feature is enabled, press any button will turn on the back light for about 3 seconds.

NOTE: Auto-Light feature will consume more battery than that when the auto-light feature is disable, hence a shorter life cycle for the battery when the auto-light feature is enabled.
