Using the Digital Compass

You can use the Digital Compass Mode to determine the direction of north, and to check your bearing to a
destination.
For information about what you can do to improve digital compass reading accuracy, see "Calibrating
the Bearing Sensor" (page E-25) and "Digital Compass Precautions" (page E-32).

To perform a digital compass operation

1. Place the watch on a fl at surface. If you are wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist is horizontal
(in relation to the horizon).
2. Point the 12 o'clock position of the watch in the direction you want to check.
3. In any mode (except a setting mode), press C to perform a digital compass operation.
This will cause the mode dial hand to move to COMP.
After about two seconds, the second hand will point in the direction of magnetic north, and the
display will show the direction or the bearing angle that 12 o'clock is pointed.
Press A to toggle the display between the direction and the bearing angle.
