To use the compass | Continuation
You should also calibrate it after replacing the battery. If your watch has been exposed to
strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric lines, magnets or loudspeakers, then you have
to calibrate it again. Please also calibrate the compass before using it for the first time and
before a long trip.
NOTE: Because of the difference between true North and magnetic North, you have to
compensate it by adjusting the compass declination. The declination angle for your local area
may be found below in the table:
