SET THE TRUE NORTH CALIBRATION

When you do not know the declination angle, the true north
calibration function can be used to compensate for the
difference between magnetic and true north. All you need
to know is the direction of true north (this can be found from
landmarks in your immediate vicinity). Setting the true north
calibration makes the compass reading more accurate.
To set the true north calibration:
1. In any compass display screen,
press SET until the screen
opposite appears.
2. Press and hold SET to enter
setting mode.
3. Turn the compass to the position
of true north and press SET.
NOTE If the declination function is turned ON, the true
north function is automatically turned OFF and
vice-versa.
