With magnetic declination correction, you input a magnetic declination angle (difference between magnetic north and true north), which allows the watch to indicate true north. You can perform this procedure when the magnetic declination angle is indicated on the map you are using. Note that you can input the declination angle in whole degree units only, so you may need to round off the value specified on the map. If your map indicates the declination angle as 7.4°, you should input 7°. In the case of 7.6° input 8°, for 7.5° you can input 7° or 8°.
To perform magnetic declination correction
1. In the Digital Compass Mode, hold down the watch’s E button for at least two seconds. Release E after -1- appears.
2. Press D.
* DEC will appear on the display and then the current magnetic declination angle setting will flash on the display.
3. Use A (East) and C (West) to change the settings.
* The following explains magnetic declination angle direction settings.
OFF: No magnetic declination correction performed. The magnetic declination angle with this setting is 0°.
E: When magnetic north is to the east (east declination) W: When magnetic north is to the west (west declination)
- You can select a value within the range of W 90° to E 90° with these settings.
- You can turn off (OFF) magnetic declination correction by pressing A and C at the same time.
- The illustration, for example, shows the value you should input and the direction setting you should select when the map shows a magnetic declination of 1° West.
4. When the setting is the way you want, press E to exit the setting screen.
