*DECLINATION

The angular difference between Magnetic North and True North is declination. The earth’s magnetic poles fluctuate over time. Go to http://ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/declination.shtml or check your local geophysical center. Declination also varies depending on your exact location. Set the declination on the ST-5000 to offset the difference between Magnetic North and True North.

In 1897 the Original Victorinox Swiss Army Knife was created in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. Since that time, Victorinox has become known in more than 100 countries for precision, quality, functionality and versatility.

This century old heritage has been extended to Victorinox Swiss Army Timepieces. Each reflects the ingenious design and outstanding durability we’ve come to stand for over the years. Uncompromising craftsmanship makes these timepieces worthy to carry the Cross and Shield emblem that symbolizes the legend of Victorinox Swiss Army.

Substituting interchangeable batteries is not recommended. Battery change should be performed by a qualified technician who should also check the condition of the gaskets and the o-ring at the same time. Battery is not covered by the warranty.

HOLD HORIZONTAL, just as a compass. Turn LEFT for NEGATIVE declinati. Turn RIGHT for POSITIVE declination.

NOTE: Before setting declination, you must determine your declination based on your location. *See belowr more information.

NOTE: Default reaction time is 15.

GREEN light indicates correct rotation speed. YELLOW light indicates if rotation speed is too fast or too slow. Rotate backward until GREEN lights again and proceed rotating.

HOLD HORIZONTAL, just as a compass and rotate clockwise two full rotations.

One SHORT PUSH to validate.

GREEN light shows compass is CALIBRATED. RED lights signal the calibration was unsuccessful and MUST BE REDONE. One SHORT PUSH to finalize.

One SHORT PUSH will set desired display time to finalize.

TO EXIT: two short pushes returns to Compass mode

After 15 seconds, ST-5000 will go into pathfinder pause mode. TO WAKE-UP: one short push

Point timepiece to desired direction and use one SHORT PUSH to lock in HEADING

Green arrow depicts True North while LCD display indicates direction you are heading (example for 225°)

Each SHORT PUSH will scroll through reaction time options.

One LONG PUSH will enter reaction time options setting
