COMPASS

The Summit/Altitech 2 are equipped with a highly accurate digital magnetic compass with a resolution

of one degree. The compass can be adjusted to compensate for the magnetic declination corresponding

to the area where the compass is being used.

COMPASS SCREEN

There is only one screen display available in the COMPASS mode.

The display shows the CURRENT HEADING IN DEGREES in the

center line and the bearing in half cardinal points in the top line.

Opposite to one another on the display you will see a single segment

and three segments activated. The single segment indicates NORTH

and the center of the three segments indicates SOUTH.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS

The compass of the Summit/Altitech 2 must be calibrated on a regular

basis. The compass should be calibrated any time it does not seem to be

working properly. We recommend calibrating the compass prior to any

activity where optimal accuracy is desired, such as a long back country

trip. The watch must also be calibrated to your local altitude prior to

your initial use.

3. CAL will appear in the center line of the display.

4. Rotate the unit clockwise for 3 complete rotations of

approximately 10-seconds per rotation.

5. To exit the calibration sequence at this point using the

NOTE:

For the optimum accuracy, the compass must be held

completely level during the calibration process. We recommend

placing the unit on top of a drinking glass while performing

the calibration as this will make it easier to keep the compass

level.

6. If the calibration is successful the display will show CAL in the

center line and END in the upper line and automatically advance

to the compass display.

7. If the calibration was unsuccessful an ERR message will appear

in the upper line of the display and you will need to repeat the

calibration sequence.

8. If you have chosen to set a magnetic declination, adjust the

degrees and direction using the

9. If you do not know the magnetic declination for your area, leave

this setting at ZERO.

10. When you have completely entered the magnetic declination you

desire, exit the calibration sequence using the

MAGNETIC DECLINATION

A magnetic compass points to the earth's magnetic north pole. Depending on your location, this may

be different from True North. Adjusting the magnetic declination allows you to compensate for this

variation. Magnetic declination for an area can be found on topographical maps. Declination can change

over time and distance. Make sure the source for your declination settings is up to date. The following

websites are good sources for finding local magnetic declination.
