SET DATE
SET TIME
Watch is shipped with guard around CENTER CROWN. Remove guard and push CENTER CROWN
in to start. Compass must be calibrated before using to ensure accuracy and avoid improper
technology of Precision Navigation, Inc., Mountain View, CA.
SET DATE AND TIME
Pull CENTER CROWN to MIDDLE position and turn until correct date appears. After setting date,
pull CENTER CROWN all the way out and turn to correct time. Ensure correct AM/PM setting by
verifying that date changes at midnight, not noon. Push CENTER CROWN in when done. Adjust
date after months with fewer than 31 days.
COMPASS HAND ADJUSTMENT
Pull CENTER CROWN all the way out. Compass hand should point to 12 o’clock. If it does not,
press either PUSH BUTTON or LOWER CROWN to move compass hand until it points to 12 o’clock.
Hold PUSH BUTTON or LOWER CROWN to move hand fast. Push CENTER CROWN in when done
and recalibrate compass.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
Since a compass uses the Earth’s magnetic field, you must be aware of large metallic objects,
such as vehicles or bridges, or objects that give off electromagnetic radiation, such as TVs or PCs,
which could affect the magnetic field around the watch. If compass is calibrated near such
objects, it will only work properly in that same location. If compass is calibrated away from such
objects, it will not work properly near them. For best results, calibrate in area of intended use.
In calibrating and taking headings, it is important, as with all compasses, to keep compass level.
Calibrating or taking a heading when watch is not level can result in large errors. Also avoid areas
that may exhibit higher than normal concentrations of hard and soft iron, as they may cause
inaccurate headings. Whenever a heading is suspect, recalibrate.
Do not store watch near any source of magnetism, such as computers, appliances, or TVs, as
watch can take on a magnetic charge, yielding inaccurate headings.
To calibrate compass, pull CENTER CROWN to MIDDLE position. Press either PUSH BUTTON or
LOWER CROWN to begin. Compass hand rotates two revolutions to remind you to rotate watch.
Keep watch level or place on level surface (if band interferes, place on inverted cup). Watch may
be face down, but protect watch face. While level, SLOWLY rotate watch two revolutions, taking
at least 15 seconds per revolution. This is critical in achieving proper calibration. When
done, press either PUSH BUTTON or LOWER CROWN, keeping watch level. Compass hand moves
back and forth to acknowledge end of calibration and then moves to current declination angle
setting (see DECLINATION ANGLE for more information). If you do not wish to set declination
angle, push CENTER CROWN in. Otherwise, to have watch automatically compensate for decli-
nation angle, turn compass ring or turn LOWER CROWN until north is at 12 o’clock. Press either
PUSH BUTTON or LOWER CROWN to move compass hand east (+) or west (–) to point to your
location’s declination angle (see table below) using declination scale. Hold PUSH BUTTON or
LOWER CROWN to move hand fast. Push CENTER CROWN in when done.
COMPASS OPERATION
Normally, compass is off and compass hand points to 12 o’clock. If compass hand does not point
to 12 o’clock when compass is off, compass hand must be adjusted; see COMPASS HAND
ADJUSTMENT.
Compass must be calibrated prior to use and calibration should be performed in the area of
intended use; see COMPASS CALIBRATION. If compass has not been calibrated since battery
replacement, attempting to activate compass causes watch to rotate compass hand once and
play melody to remind you to calibrate.
While holding watch level, press either PUSH BUTTON or LOWER CROWN to activate compass.
Compass hand moves to point north. If watch is turned, compass hand will continue to move,
always pointing north. After 20 seconds, compass will automatically turn off and hand will return
to its home position, pointing to 12 o’clock. This conserves battery life. Press either PUSH BUT-
TON or LOWER CROWN at any time to keep compass on for another 20 seconds. Once compass
is activated, there are two typical ways to use it.
Which way am I headed? Hold watch so that 12 o’clock is in direction of your travel. Turn com-
pass ring or LOWER CROWN until compass hand is pointing to north on ring. Your heading is
direction on ring at 12 o’clock.
Which way should I go? If you know the direction you want to go (e.g., NE), turn compass ring
or LOWER CROWN until that direction appears at 12 o’clock. Then, turn your body until compass
hand points to north on compass ring. Go in the direction of 12 o’clock.
NOTE: While compass is on, INDIGLO® night-light may flicker slightly when on. This is normal,
as INDIGLO® night-light must be turned off briefly during compass readings to maintain accuracy.
Also,sweep second hand will move in two second increments while in compass mode.
