The Magnetic Declination angle is the difference between True North and magnetic North.
Applications that are using True North use this value to adjust the readings from the
compass.
To calibrate the compass, select Calibrate Compass. Rotate the handheld around all three
axis several times in every orientation possible (for at least 10 seconds). Press Stop when
you are done. Calibrating the compass is very important and needs to be done often.
Changes in environment, added attachments to the handheld, and mounting options can
affect the sensor readings. If you are mounting the handheld to a pole, mount it first and
then calibrate the compass.
When the accelerometer is calibrated, you are telling the handheld that this is level,
remember this. It is important that the handheld is laying on its back on a level surface.
When the handheld is level, select Calibrate Accelerometer, and then Start. Samples are
averaged over the next five seconds and the result is saved. The accelerometer only needs
to be calibrated once. (If you restore the handheld to its original factory defaults, you
need to calibrate the accelerometer again.)
