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 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.

- 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:

1. http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/e_cgrf.html

2. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.pl

- Use an atlas to find your latitude and longitude before you can use the links above.

- 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.

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

Magnetic Declination Compensation

- Compensate an object's bearing by subtract westerly (W) magnetic declination or add easterly (E) magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.

Example 1

needle points 323.

- The bearing will be 323 (MB) - 23 (W) = 300 (TB).

Example 2

- 22 Easterly magnetic declination and the compass needle points 278.

- The bearing will be 278(M) + 22(E) = 300 (TB).

- HandHeld TrackMaster will compensate the compass

bearing wherever the magnetic declination is either

Westerly (-ve) declination or Easterly declination (+ve) automatically, if the user input the magnetic declination angle of the city which close to the user's current location into the watch during the calibration.

- Check the 'Calibrating the Compass' section for more detail of the calibration.

To Calibrate the compass

IMPORTANT: If the watch has not been calibrated, the

direction reading may be inaccurate.

- Check the 'Magnetic Declination at Major Cities' section to get the magnetic declination of the city which close to your current location, because such angle will be inputted into the HandHeld TrackMaster during the calibration.

- Perform the compass calibration on the following conditions:

1) 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 Calibrate the Compass

- Press and hold the [mode] button for 2 seconds to start the Magnetic Declination Setting, in the Compass Mode.

- The ' DEC' indicator will be appeared on the 1st row of the display. The digit will start flashing, press the [start/stop] button to change the angle (from -90 to

90) until the desire magnetic declination appeared.

Example 1:

- Compensate the magnetic declination for Wellington in New Zealand (22-E), select +22 in the magnetic declination setting.

Example 2:

- Compensate the magnetic declination in Boston

the USA (16-W), select -16 in the magnetic declination setting.

- Press the [mode] button to go to the Calibration 'Rotation' Mode, the EL back light will turn on automatically for a second. At the same time, the 'CAL' indicator will be appeared on 1st row of the display and the bearing indicators start to move.

- When the EL back light is off, hold the HandHeld

TrackMaster on a flat surface which is parallel to the horizon, then rotate the HandHeld TrackMaster clockwise at the rate as the bearing indicators' moving for 2 turns. The rotation should be completed in a slow and steady way

- When the turning is completed, press the [mode] button to return to Compass Mode otherwise the Calibration 'Rotation' Mode will return to Compass Mode after 1 minute.

The Direction of an Object

- The direction of an object from a point is specified in either compass points or digital bearing directions.

- The HandHeld TrackMaster provides both compass

points or digital bearing directions.

The Compass Points

- The compass points are North, Northeast, East. Southeast, South, Southwest, West

and Northwest.

- For

example, in the figure on the left, the compass points of object B from point A is East. The compass points of object C from point A is Southeast. The compass points of object D from point A is Northwest.

The Digital Bearing

- The digital bearing direction of an object is defined as the angular difference between North and the object. (Assuming that 0 for North, and the measuring range is from 0 to 359 )

- For example, in the figure on the left, the digital bearing direction of object B from point A is 90 . The digital bearing direction of object C from point A is 135 . The digital bearing direction of object D from point A is 315 .

Backward Bearing Directions

- The HandHeld TrackMaster has a built-in function which shows backward bearing direction of an object.

- The backward bearing direction is the bearing direction that on the opposite direction from normal bearing direction.

- When the 'Backward Bearing' indicator is

appeared, the HandHeld TrackMaster shows the backward bearing direction of the direction which the watch's pointer is pointing.

NOTE: In Backward Bearing Compass Mode, the magnetic north indicator and the compass points readout will not be affected.

To Select Normal Bearing and Backward Bearing

- Press the [mode] button to select between normal and

backward bearing directions, in the Compass Mode.

- The backward bearing will be return to normal

bearing automatically in the following conditions:

1) the HandHeld TrackMaster change to standby mode.

2) the HandHeld TrackMaster change to Current Time Mode.

Compass Lock

- The HandHeld TrackMaster has a built-in lock function to lock important direction readings, in the Compass Mode.

- When the 'Lock' indicator 'LOCK' is appeared, the HandHeld TrackMaster locks the direction readings, hence the direction reading will not be changed even the pointer is pointing to another object.

To Lock/Unlock the Compass Lock

- Press the [start/stop] button to lock/unlock the direction readings, in the Compass Mode.

- The compass lock will be released automatically on the following conditions:

1) The HandHeld TrackMaster change to standby mode.

Check your position by Backward Bearing

- The HandHeld TrackMaster can check your position by

backward bearing.

- 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.

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 o n 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.

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 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 ),

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.
