What is Magnetic Declination

 The Magnetic North Pole which is slightly different from the

True North Pole.
 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 in the world.

 For serious compass user or who intends to perform accurate

navigation, compass must be adjusted for magnetic

declination.
 The watch also includes a compensation setting for Magnetic

Declination. Check the coming section “Calibrating the

compass-Magnetic Declination Mode”for more detail.

Magnetic Declination information

 Most topographic maps include a small arrow which shown

magnetic north pole and or the magnetic declination

information.
 For the benefit of the user,this manual includes the magnetic

declination for some major cities, check the coming section

“Magnetic Declination at Major Cities” for more detail.
 For the cities are not included in the list, please refer to the

online magnetic declination information.

Compensation

Magnetic Declination Compensation

 To compensate an object’s bearing by subtract westerly (W)

magnetic declination or add westerly (E) magnetic declination

with the magnetic bearing.
 Example 1: 23°Westerly magnetic declination and the

compass needle points 323°.

 TB=MB-W. While MB=323°; W=23°
 TB=323°-23°
 TB=300°

 The true bearing will be 300°.
 Example 2: 22°Easterly magnetic declination and the

compass needle points 278°.

 TB=MB+E. While MB=278°; E=22°
 TB=278°+22°
 TB=300°
 The true bearing will be 300°.
 The watch allows you compensate the compass bearing at a

place where the magnetic declination is either Westerly

declination or Easterly declination.
Check the coming section “Calibrating the compass” for more detail
of the setting.

When to Calibration the Compass

 The watch has to employ a compass calibration in one of the

following conditions:

 The watch is using for the first time
 The battery has been replaced
 The bearing direction digits are flashing, and the “OFF

CAL”indicator appear

 The compass use in a location that is apart from the

place in which the compass had been calibrated

 The user intends to regulate the precision of the digital

compass

How to Calibrate the compass

 The compass calibration includes two different processes:

Rotation Calibration Mode and Magnetic Declination Setting.

 It is advisable to carry out them both from time to time, that

achieves a more accurate reading.
IMPORTANT: If the watch has not been calibrated, the direction
made by the watch may be a inaccurate direction.

Magnetic Declination Mode

1. Check the coming section “Magnetic Declination at Major Cities”
to get the magnetic declination of the city which is close to your
current position. That angle will be inputted into the watch during the
calibration.

2. To select magnetic declination display, press the B button in
rotation calibration display.

3. When the current magnetic declination is appeared, press the E
or C button to increase/decrease the number.(hold down the button
changes the number at a higher speed).

4. If the setting is completed, hold the B button to confirm setting
and exit the adjustment display.

13.0Battery

Replacement

Low Battery Detection

 When the battery-low indicator appears on the display, it

means that the capacity of the battery is low. It is

recommended to replace the battery with a new CR2032.
 However, if the appearance of battery-low indicator is caused

by using the watch under very cold condition, the indicator will

be disappeared when normal temperature returns.
NOTE: It is recommended to complete the battery replacement by a
certified service agency, because this watch contains precise
electronic sensors and components.
NOTE: The memory will be cleared, if the battery has been replaced.
Follow the previous section “Calibrating the Compass” to calibrate
the compass before using the Compass.
