What does it mean when the degree symbol
on line 2 is ashing slowly?
This indicates magnetic distortion. Many
things generate external magnetic elds
causing compass inaccuracy, including metal
and electronics. The PNI V6000 senses any
signicant change in magnetic elds and the
associated magnetic distortion that occurs.
The degree symbol may ash briey when
driving over a bridge, under an overpass, over
railroad tracks, within close proximity to a
strong magnetic eld, or when the battery
is installed. Once the vehicle has moved
away from the source of the magnetic eld
or has been calibrated, the PNI V6000 will
be accurate. If the degree symbol ashes
continuously or immediately after calibration,
the unit needs to be calibrated again, where
there is less magnetic interference.
How can I maximize weather forecast and
altitude accuracy?
The PNI V6000 sensor cannot determine the
specic cause of a pressure change, such as
if the change is due to weather conditions,
altitude changes, or cabin pressure. Therefore,
for barometer and weather forecast readings
to be most accurate, the effect of altitude and
cabin pressure must be minimized. Similarly,
