provide only a rough indication of directions, and should not be used where accuracy is critical.
Using the 24-hour hand
· Before using the compass, it is necessary to set the 24-hour hand to the current time of your area.
· If daylight saving time (summer time) is in effect in your area, be sure to set your watch one hour behind the
current time before using the rotating compass.
In the Northern Hemisphere
