Setting the time and calibrating gauge:
The switch on the front of the lens is used for adjusting the time, setting up the temperature unit, and . At
any time during the setup you can turn the key off and all of the changes you made will be saved. The next time
the key is turned on the display will light up normally.
1. To enter the set mode, hold the switch in while turning the key on. The gauge will display the time and
day of week with the minutes selected.
2. Press and release the switch to increment the minutes. Press and hold the switch in to move to the
hours.
3. While the hours are selected, press and release the switch to increment it. Press and hold the switch to
move to the time adjustment.
4. The display will now show a number from -7 to +7 and "cal". This is the current time adjustment setting.
Pressing and releasing the switch will increment the value. A setting of zero does no adjustment, +2
adds two seconds per day (slows the clock down), -3 subtracts three seconds per day (speeds the clock
up), and so forth. When the desired adjustment setting is displayed, press and hold the switch. The
display will now change to the true north adjustment.
5. The display will show the current heading offset in degrees from -31 to +31 and "N cal". This is used to
compensate for the difference between magnetic north and true north as well as for errors in the
positioning of the compass sensor. This offset will vary for different parts of the country. Refer to the
map on the following page for the recommended setting for your area. Press and release the switch to
change the offset, press and hold the switch to save the setting.
6. The display will show the current temperature unit, either F or C. Press and release the switch to change
the setting, press and hold the switch to move to the compass setup.
7. The final setup display will allow calibration of the compass to compensate for the magnetic field created
by the cycle it is installed into. The display will initially show "- -". To exit the setup routine, press and
hold the switch with the dashes displayed. Press and release the switch to change to the "CAL"
selection. To begin the compass calibration, press and hold the switch with "CAL" displayed. (make sure
the engine is running before starting the calibration).
8. The display will still show "CAL" and the "turning arrow" will go away. Once the switch is released the
"turning arrow" will come back on and flash. Drive the vehicle in four large, slow, complete circles, first
two counter-clockwise circles, then two clockwise circles.
9. Once you have finished the circles, press and release the switch. The compass calibration will be saved
and the display will go back to normal operation.
