ELECTRONIC COMPASS

Your radar detector has an electronic compass that can display
8 different headings:
N, E, S, W, NE, NW, SE, SW
Note: The detector displays the electronic compass heading
information until it picks up a signal. After the detector displays
the signal, it returns to the electronic compass display.

Calibrating the Electronic Compass

You must calibrate the electronic compass in your area before
using it. The calibration allows the electronic compass to sepa-
rate the earth's magnetic field from the magnetic fields generat-
ed by external influences such as your vehicle so that the
electronic compass provides accurate heading information.
Before beginning the calibration, you must install the detector in
your vehicle. See "Installation" on Page 9. The calibration is
best performed on a leveled section of pavement, such as an
empty parking lot.

When to Calibrate Your Detector
