Timex W273 NA 355-095008-02 manual To calibrate the compass

To calibrate the compass:

1.Pull the crown to its middle position and wait for the indicator hands to stop moving.

2.Keep the watch level or place it on a level surface (if the band interferes, place the watch on an inverted cup). The watch may be face down, but take care to protect the watch face.

3.Press A or B to begin. The 4th center hand rotates two revolutions to remind you to rotate the watch. While level, SLOWLY rotate the watch two revolutions, taking at least 15 seconds per revolution.

4.When done, press A or B, keeping the watch level. The 4th center hand moves back and forth to acknowledge the end of calibration and then moves to the current magnetic declination setting.

5.If you do not wish to set the magnetic declination, push the crown in. Otherwise, to have watch automatically compensate for the declination angle, turn the compass ring until north is at 12 o’clock.

6.Press A or B to move the 4th center hand west (-) or east (+), respectively, to point to your location’s declination angle using the declination scale. Hold a button to move the hand quickly. See the figure on next page for an example.

7.Push the crown in when done.
