*DECLINATION
The angular difference between Magnetic North and True North is declination. The earth's magnetic
poles fluctuate over time. Go to http://ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/declination.shtml or check your

local geophysical center. Declination also varies depending on your exact location. Set the
declination on the ST-5000 to offset the difference between Magnetic North and True North.
