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.
1. Start in COMPASS mode.
2.

key to enter the calibration sequence.
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
advance to setting the magnetic declination 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

S2
from variable to variable using a the

key.
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.
