Precautions

Caution: This unit is water-resistant but not waterproof. Do not submerge in water. When installing the battery, make sure the gasket is properly seated (see battery installation instructions). Avoid leaving out in the rain.
Caution: Keep away from strong magnetic forces, which can destroy the compass.
Caution: Do not drop or apply excessive force to the LCD display. When replacing the battery, apply force to the outer ring.
Caution: Do not operate outside of the specified temperature range (-10 to 60 °C). Use your body warmth to keep within the low-temperature range.
Note: Do not use a magnetized battery, which can corrupt the compass measurement.
Note: Do not use near strong magnetic or EMI forces (TVs, computers, electronics) which can corrupt the compass measurement.

PS: If there is no operation in 30 seconds under compass mode, the compass will go back to time mode automatically.

Compass calibration:
A. When should we calibrate the compass?
Using the first time or after replacing the battery, press button B to enter compass mode.
It requests to calibrate compass first.
To let the compass work more accurately, we should calibrate the compass regularly.
When the compass decline degree too much, we should calibrate the compass
B. How to enter into compass calibration?
Under compass mode, long press button B, it will enter into compass calibration.
C. How to calibrate the compass?
When entering into calibration, the circle on LCD display will rotate, letters of “Keep Level” will display on the LCD. Keep watch level,  rotate it clockwise with equal speed, and slowly till it exits calibration automatically and enters into compass mode.
If there is no operation in 30 seconds, it will go back to compass mode.

Magnetic Declination
Under compass mode, long press button A to enter into magnetic declination. Magnetic declination is defined as the angle between magnetic north (the direction the north end of a compass needle points) and true north. Only a GPS can determine true north by knowing your exact orientation on the earth. All digital compasses measure magnetic north. The declination is positive when the magnetic north is east of the true north. The declination is negative when the magnetic north is west of the true north.  To determine the declination for your location, visit: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomagmodels/Declination.jsp
