calibrate the compass correctly when prompted, set the correct declination
value, keep the device level, and keep away from metal (for example, jewelry)
and magnetic fields (for example, power lines).
To calibrate the compass you need to keep the device level (do not tilt it in any
directions), slowly rotate the device clockwise (around 15 seconds per round)
until the compass is activated. The compass will switch itself to power saving
mode after a minute. You can reactivate it by pressing [Start Stop].
NOTE: If the compass is not showing consistent values, you need to calibrate
it. Keep the device level and rotate it slowly clockwise until the north indicator is
stable again. This can take up to 3 rotations.
