You have mounted the antenna unit facing straight ahead in the direction of the
how. Therefore, a small but conspicuous target dead ahead visually should appear
on the heading line (zero degrees).
In practice, you will probably observe some small error on the display because of
the difficulty in achieving accurate initial positioning of the antenna unit. The foll-
owing adjustment will compensate for this error.
1. Identify a suitable target (for example, ship or buoy) at a range between 0.125
