Calibrating the Bearing Sensor

You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by the watch are off. There are three different calibration methods available: magnetic declination correction, bidirectional calibration, and northerly calibration.

•Magnetic Declination Correction

With magnetic declination correction, you input a magnetic declination angle (difference between magnetic north and true north), which allows the watch to indicate true north.

You can perform this procedure when the magnetic declination angle is indicated on the map you are using.

Note that you can input the declination angle in degree units only, so you may need to round off the value specified on the map. If your map indicates the declination angle as 7.4°, you should input 7°. In the case of 7.6° input 8°, for 7.5° you can input 7° or 8°.
