down ADJ button for 3 seconds, and the Compass Homing Mode

Setting Mode displayed as ‘DEC’. Press UP or DOWN button for
desired value then just press ADJ button to save settings and exit the
mode. Declination is sometimes measured as degrees positive and
negative. Degrees East are considered positive and Degrees West are
considered negative. For example, to change from 3 degrees East
(positive) declination to 3 degrees West (negative) press the DOWN
button until 3W appears.

alert you to the direction you should be heading. Go into Compass
Mode and press MODE button to display compass Homing. To
adjust homing bearing, press and hold ADJ button for three
seconds. Press UP button or DOWN button to adjust to desired
bearing setting. Pressing UP or DOWN will increase or decrease
bearing by increments of ten. A single push of UP or DOWN moves
bearing by 1 degree. When done, press ADJ to return to Homing
mode. To return to Compass Mode press MODE button.
