COMPASS – BEARING NAVIGATION
The digital BlaCK eanX compass allows you to set the course (bearing lock) and
then navigating it.
In order to set the course, set the compass bearing, so that it is placed in the
axis between you and the destination you wish to reach. Then select "lock bear-
ing" in the compass context menu. The set course will be visible on the compass
scale as a round point. Upon setting the course, the compass clock will start to
measure the time you swim towards a given direction.
In case of course deviation, the compass will alert you by changing the colour
of the bearing and the course indicator. In order to help maintain the direction
in case of deviation, the compass will indicate the direction you need to take to
return to the correct course:

COMPASS – 'RETURN' FUNCTION
'return' function allows you to turn on navigation quickly in a reverse direction
after you swam some distance with a set course. Therefore, you can take a
defined course for a while and come back to same place using the opposite
course.
The „return" function is available in compass context menu.
It is possible to activate the 'return' function only when you set the course
beforehand. Once „return" option is selected, the compass will automatically set
a reverse course (-180⁰ relative to the previous course). Once you take the new
course, compass clock will start counting the time back.

The 'return' function operates correctly if during the previous
navigation the correct direction was maintained all the time.
In case of significant deviations, you will reach a different
destination than the one where you started.
