NOTE: For more accurate temperature readings, try wearing the watch outside your jacket or clipping it to your belt or pack (ideally in an area not constantly exposed to the sun). You can also remove the watch from your wrist and put in shade for 15 to 30 minutes.

For information on calibrating your weather icon see Calibration Mode on page 36.

COMPASS MODE

 

The WS4™ watch includes an accurate digital compass that takes a reading

 

E

every second when engaged and shows the compass reading as a number and

a cardinal heading along with a virtual compass needle. You must calibrate the

 

compass prior to first use and it’s also a good idea to calibrate it periodically to

 

maintain more accurate readings. For more information, see Calibration Mode

 

on page 36.

 

Calibrating the Compass

When using the compass, it’s important to keep your wrist at a level, horizon- tal position to help make compass readings more accurate.

For the most accurate readings, avoid calibrating the compass near large metallic objects (such as electronics, cars, filing cabinets, and anything else metal) since magnetic force in these objects may

interfere with the magnetic field and give you inaccurate compass readings. Note that the Indiglo® night-light feature does not work while calibrating the compass.

Prior to calibrating the compass, remove the watch from your wrist, hold it in your hand and choose a declination angle from the table on the next page.
