4.3 Balancing

1
Pick an area approximately 5 by 5 feet that has no field gradient (gradient change is no more than 2-
3 units)
2
Get rid of magnetic objects – cell phone, keys, screw drivers, metal fasteners on clothes, shoes,
glasses, credit cards, watch, etc.
3
Pick "Balancing" option in the menu. Press "OK". Letter "N" (North) will begin to blink. Orient device
to the North while holding it vertical to the ground. Tilt the top end of the device to the North
several degrees until the device registers a reading of 3-5 units (Pic. 3a), press button 7.

4
Letter "S" (South) will begin to blink. Tilt the top end of the device to the South to a similar angle (do
not rotate the entire device to face South!) until the device registers a reading of 3-5 units (Pic 3b),
press button 7 and return the device to the vertical position. The screen will read "Calculating" and
the device will reset to "0".
5
Repeat paragraphs 3 and 4 again, but with smaller tilts so that the change in readings is no more
than 1 unit.
If the screen says "Surpassed regulation zone" it means that the tilt angle was too big and the
difference between North and South readings surpassed the allowable 200 unit level. Repeat
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, but tilt the device to a smaller degree.
