To turn the electronic compass on or off:
1. Press and hold the PAGE key to turn the
electronic compass on or off. The Compass
Icon
appears in the status bar when the
electronic compass is on. When you are not
using the electronic compass, turn it off to
conserve batteries. When it is turned off, the
unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.
2. Hold the Receiver level to get an accurate
electronic compass reading. You can obtain
the most accurate reading if it is calibrated.
(See the following page for calibration
instructions.)
Calibrating the Electronic Compass
When you first use the Receiver or after you install
new batteries, you have to calibrate the electronic
compass outdoors. The accuracy of the electronic
compass is adversely affected if the unit is not held
level or you are near objects that generate magnetic
fields, such as cars or buildings.
