Using the Digital Compass
You can use the Digital Compass Mode to determine the direction of north, and to check your bearing to a
destination.
• For information about what you can do to improve digital compass reading accuracy, see “Calibrating
the Bearing Sensor” (page E-24) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-29).
To perform a digital compass operation
1. Place the watch on a fl at surface. If you are wearing the watch, make sure that your wrist is horizontal
(in relation to the horizon).
2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction you want to check.
3. In any mode (except a setting mode), press
C
to perform a digital compass operation.
• This will cause the mode dial hand t o move t o COMP.

Digital Compass Readings
• After the fi rst reading is obtained, the watch will continue to take digital compass readings automatically
for about one minute. After readings are complete, the watch will return to the mode you were in
immediately before entering the Digital Compass Mode.
• The auto light switch is disabled while a Digital Compass reading operation is in progress.
• The following table shows the meanings of each of the direction abbreviations that appear on the upper
display.

• The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±15 degrees while the watch is
horizontal (in relation to the horizon). If the indicated direction is northwest (
NW
) and 315 degrees, for
example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 300 to 330 degrees.
• Note that performing a digital compass operation while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the
horizon) can result in large error.
• You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.
