To view and use the Compass Mode:
Check the Mode Indicator Bar. If the mode arrow is not on COMP, PRESS the [Mode] button until the arrow is
directly below COMP on the bar.
In the COMPASS mode (Fig. 6):
Field 1 displays the cardinal or half-cardinal point.
Field 2 displays the bearing in degrees.
Field 3 displays the current time.
The Outer Circumference graphically displays the North-South arrow where one-lit segment shows North
and three-lit segments show South.
The Wristop Computer provides a bubble level for the user to achieve a precise reading within +3 degrees. The
user should acquire a bearing by removing the Wristop Computer from the wrist. The user centers the liquid
bubble to ensure the Wristop Computer position is level and takes a reading.
The compass display is active for 45 seconds at a time. After this, the compass enters “sleep” mode and an “-
--°” indicator appears in the field 2. Reactivate the compass by pressing the [-] button.
