USING THE COMPASS
ABOUT THE COMPASS
The compass shows the bearing in degrees together
with 16 cardinal points. The outer circumference of the
display consists of 60 segments, which graphically show
the bearing, (one lit segment indicates North, three lit
segments indicate South). The bubble shows you when
the compass is flat so you can take an accurate reading.
Simply look directly over the bubble and position the
small bubble in the centre of the circle.
The compass display is active for 30 seconds at a time.
After this, the compass will go into power saving mode
and “- - -” will appear on the display. To re-activate the
compass, press SELECT.
NOTE Always take bearings in the open air, not inside
buildings, tents, caves, or other shelters.
