Deflection Angle Compensation (Compass Calibration)

DEFLECTION ANGLE COMPENSATION




COMPASS CALIBRATION
Under certain circumstances, as during a long distance cross country trip, it will be necessary to adjust for compass variance. Compass variance is the difference between earth's magnetic north and true geographic north.
If not adjusted to account for compass variance, compass could give false readings.

ADJUST FOR COMPASS VARIANCE




1. Choose "zone code setting" by pressing function button switch 2 on the compass selection screen, and press function button switch 3 (ENTER).




2. Find current location and variance zone number on the zone map.




3. Enter the zone number to calibrate the compass.
4. If the calibration is made successfully, the display unit buzzer will sound twice.

NOTE:
- If the calibration fails, a message will appear to indicate it.
- Do not install the ski rack, antenna, etc., which are attached to the vehicle by means of a magnet. They affect the operation of compass.
- The compass may not indicate the correct compass direction in the place shown below:

- Tunnels
- Railroads
- Underpass/Overpass
- Transforming station
- Large metal structures
- Area over the subway
