8.2 Azimuth
"Set azimuth"
The azimuth is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object (course) and geographic north.
The azimuth is measured from the north in degrees, from 0° to 359°, and can be adjusted by pressing
and turning . When using the compass in azimuth mode, red arrows on the MIP screen show you the
direction in which to turn the watch so that the second hand points in the programmed azimuthal
direction (course).
In azimuth mode, the T-Touch Connect Solar emits an acoustic signal and displays a visual signal
("Go") when the watch’s 6 o’clock‑12 o’clock axis is aligned with the azimuthal direction set. The
direction of the minute hand represents the azimuth direction in relation to geographic north, while
the direction of the hour hand represents geographic north.
8.3 Calibrate
Various factors affect compass function’s precision, and therefore it may be necessary to recalibrate
the compass.
1. For accurate calibration, ensure that you are outdoors and well away from any metallic or
magnetic body.
2. You now have 60 seconds in which to move your wrist fairly rapidly in a figure‑of‑eight
until you hear a little beep or see "Calibrated" displayed on the MIP screen, indicating that
calibration is complete.
3. If "Calibration is unsuccessful" appears on the MIP screen, the calibration operation has failed
and you need to restart it.
ð Note: For accurate calibration, the watch should not be kept horizontal during the
figure‑of‑eight movements, and it is not necessary to execute a perfect figure‑of‑eight, the
most important thing being for the watch to move within its environment.
