Magnetic Declination Compensation
• Compensate for an object’s bearing by subtracting westerly magnetic
declination or adding easterly magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.
Example 1
- Westerly magnetic declination = 23°, Magnetic bearing = 323°.
- True bearing: 323°- 23° = 300°.
Example 2
- Easterly magnetic declination = 22°, Magnetic bearing = 278°.
- True bearing: 278° + 22° = 300°.
• This watch will compensate the compass bearing automatically if the user
inputs the magnetic declination angle into the watch at the Magnetic
Declination setting mode.
• Check the “Calibrating the Compass” section on p.10 for more details
of the calibration.
