Digital Vehicle Compass
63-1120
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack Digital Vehicle Compass.
Your compass conveniently provides accurate heading
information inside your vehicle. It incorporates the same magnetic
sensor technology that is used in factory-installed vehicle
compasses. The compass electronically separates the Earth's
magnetic field from the magnetic fields generated by your vehicle,
to provide accurate compass headings.
Automatic Shut-Off — conserves power by turning off the
compass about 10 minutes after you park the vehicle when there
are no significant changes in the surrounding magnetic fields.
Magnetic Distortion Detection — alerts you when outside
magnetic interference is affecting compass accuracy.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your compass requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for
power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack batteries. Battery life is about 11 months (based on
an average of 8 hours of compass use and 2 hours of backlight
use per week).
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
