PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE COMPASS

•Please use the compass in places where the sun is visible or its location is known.

•Before using the compass, it is necessary to set the 24-hour hand to the current time of your area.

•The compass is so designed to provide only a rough indication of directions, and should not be used where accuracy is critical.

•If daylight saving time (summer time) is in effect in your area, be sure to set your watch one hour behind the current time before using the rotating compass.
