3. Firmly press the bracket with the compass against the vehicle’s windshield.
4. Adjust the
angle of the bracket so
that the face
of the compass points to the back of the vehicle. Then adjust the bracket to an angle no more than 20° above or below the horizontal plane.
5. Tighten the bracket’s screw to hold it at the desired angle.
Caution: If you use a reflective sun shade, do not leave the compass between the sun shade and the windshield. The extreme heat might damage the compass.
Note: Your compass will not calibrate correctly and will not be accurate unless it is mounted so the display faces the back of your vehicle and is titled no more than 20° above or below the horizontal plane. The selected angle must stay fixed after calibration for the compass to remain accurate.
CALIBRATING THE COMPASS
Calibration enables the compass to separate the earth’s magnetic field from the magnetic fields generated by external influences (such as your vehicle) so it can provide accurate heading information.
