6.3 CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
A compass calibration should be done whenever the Wristop Computer has been subject to close proximity of magnetic
sources, extreme cold weather, every time the battery is replaced or it is suspected that other environmental conditions
have effected the compass readings.
Note: We also recommend calibrating the compass before using the compass the first time, as well as when heading
outdoors to use the compass.
To begin the calibration:
1. PRESS the [Select] button twice when in the main compass mode. Field 1 displays the text “CMP”. Field 3 displays
the text “CAL” (Fig. 56).
2. PRESS the [Select] button and hold for 2 seconds. Located in Field 2, the text “PUSH” will begin to flash (Fig. 57).
3. PRESS the [-] button to start calibration .
4. In Field 2, 360° appears and the Outer Circumference displays all segments lit (Fig. 58). When this occurs, hold the
Wristop Computer level and start to slowly turn the device around a full circle in a level position. The direction of turning
does not matter. The lit segments will be turned off as the turning proceeds. When the first full circle is completed,
the instrument will inform the user within one minute of whether the calibration was successfull, displaying the text
“dOnE” in Field 2 (Fig. 59), or if the process needs to be repeated, displaying “PUSH” and “-” in Field 2.
