Calibrating the Compass Manually

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near objects that
influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the device uses automatic calibration by default. If you
experience irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long distances or after extreme temperature
changes, you can manually calibrate the compass.
