Module No. 3554

Calibrating Compass Readings

In order to ensure that the watch is performing direction measurements correctly, be sure to perform figure 8 calibration whenever the measurement results produced by the watch are different from readings produced by another compass. You should also perform figure 8 calibration before setting out on a climb.

Note that accurate compass readings and/or calibration will not be possible in an area where strong magnetism is present.
