If you see CAL OK at the end of the calibration process you have successfully calibrated the compass. If you see CAL FAIL, repeat the calibration process.

ATTENTION: Calibration may fail if you rotate the watch too quickly or take longer than one minute to complete. Calibration may also fail if you are near objects that are magnetic.

Using the Compass

After you have calibrated your compass, you will see the current compass heading, cardinal points, and the digital compass needle when you enter Compass Mode. After 30 seconds the compass reading times out and disappears from the watch display to preserve battery life. Press START/SPLIT to display the current heading for another 30 seconds.

TIP: Your watch would be a great tool for orienteering. You can use your compass to navigate way points and if you participate in an

orienteering race, you can time yourself using the chronograph E (see next section).

CHRONO MODE

Your watch includes a chronograph, which is a stopwatch function. The chrono can track up to 100 hours and 99 laps. The data you collect while running the chronograph can then be used to check your progress in Review Mode. (See page 30 for more information about Review Mode).

Most watch buttons have multiple functions in Chrono Mode. Use the table along with your watch to explore the options.
