2 2. Altitude Mode 2.1 Absolute altitude As the absolute altitude is calculated from the air pressure the change of air pressure would affect the altitude reading. To achieve a more accurate reading, it needs to be calibrated as pressu re m ay cha nge grad ual ly. Important note : In order to set the correct absolute altitude reading, the altitude must be known. That information can be fou nd by utilizing a topogra phical map iden tify ing the curren t lo cation with the associated altit u de ma rked. The user can then pro ceed and follow the instructio ns to calibrate the absolute altitude.

To calibrate the absolute altitude In absolute altitude display mode, hold the “SET” button for 2s to enter setting mode, press “SET” button to select the absolute altitude setting. While the digits are selected (flashing), pr ess the “ ALTITUD E” butt on to increa se the digit amount. Press “COM PASS” button to decrea se the digi t amo unt.

2.2 Relat ive altitud e Relative altitude can be set whenever required over the whole measurement range. To set the relat ive altitude to zero While in absolute altitude dis play mode, hold the “AL TIT UDE/+ ” button for 2s, the abso lute altitude will be reset to relativ e altitude and the initial value is zero.

3.SET Mode - Hold the “SET” button for 2s while in normal display to enter setting mode - Press “ SET” button to select the following setting in sequence: 12/24 h our for mat Manu al time s etting (hours/m inutes) Calen dar s etting ( year/month/date Temper ature display unit degree Celsius or Fahrenheit Pressure display unit in hPa or mmHg or inHg Altimeter disp lay unit in m or feet Absolute altitude calibra te

In the above setting modes, press “ALTITUDE” button or “COMPASS” button to change or scrolls the value. Hold the “ALTITUDE” button or “COMPASS” button for 3 second will incr ea se/decr ease di gits in great steps. Press t he “SE T” button to accept the chan ge a nd advance to the next setting mode. Contin ue to press the “SET” button to tog gle through the setting mode until return to t he norm al Mod e

4. COM PASS Mode 4.1 Precautions when using the Compass

3 Keep your digital compass away from magnets or appliances which may contain magnetic objects, such as: mobile phones, speakers, motors, etc. This compass like most magnetic compasses, points to the magnetic North, which is slightly difference from the true North. Check section ‘3.2 Magnetic Declination’ for more information.

To achieve a accurate result, you should avoid measuring a direction on the following conditions: The compass is too close to magnetic objects The compass is too close to metal objects The compass is too close to an electrical appliance. The compass is inside a moving object or a concrete building

4.2 Magnetic Declination

What is Magnetic Declination - The Magnetic North Pole is slightly difference from the True North Pole. Most magnetic compasses, point to the Magnetic North Pole. On the contrary, everything measured from a map is related to the True North Pole. - The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its amount (degrees and minutes) and direction (easterly and westerly) depend on where you are.

- For serious compass user or users who intends to perform accurate navigation, the compass must be adjusted to compensate for magnetic declination.

Magnetic Declination Information - Most topographic maps show magnetic north pole and or the magnetic declination information. - The manual includes the magnetic declination for some major cities. Check the ‘Magnetic Declination at Major Cities’ section for more detail. - For those cities whose names are not included in the list, you may like to refer to the online magnetic declination information.

4.3 Magnetic Declination Compensation - compensate an object’s bearing by subtract westerly (W) magnetic declination or add easterly (E) magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.

Example - 26° Westerly magnetic declination and the compass needle points 326° (MB). - The true bearing will be 326°(MB)-26°(W) = 300° 4 WS110 will compensate the compass bearing wherever the magnetic declination is either westerly declination or Easterly declination automatically, if the user inputs the magnetic declination angle of the city which is close to the user’s current location during the calibration. Check the 4.5 Calibrating the compass section for more details on the calibration.

- Perform the compass calibration in the following conditions:

1) When the compass is used the first time 2) The battery has been replaced, 3) When using the compass in a location different from the place in which the compass had been calibrated.

4.5.1 Rotation Calibration Mode 1) Hold the “COMPASS” button until “CAL” is shown on the display, which indicates the calibration screen. 2) Hold the compass a flat surface which is parallel to the horizon, then rotate the compass clockwise for 1 turns. The rotation should be completed in a slow and steady practice. 3) When the turning is completed, press “COMPASS” button to return to Compass Mode and start taking measurement.

4.5.2 Magnetic Declination Mode Check section “3.4 Magnetic Declination at Major Cities” to get the magnetic declination of the city nearest to your current position. Input this angle into the compass during the calibration 1) Press the “COMPASS” button to enter compass mode. 2) Press the “SET” button, the “DEC” indicator is shown on the display. The digit will start flashing. 3) Press “ALTITUDE” button or “COMPASS” button to increase or decrease the angle (from -90 to 90), until the desire magnetic declination has appeared. Example 1: Compensate the magnetic declination for Wellington in New Zealand (22-E), select +22 in the magnetic declination setting. 6

Example 2: Compensate the magnetic declination for Lisbon in Portugal (5-W), select -5 in the magnetic declination setting:

Note: 1. The compass must be kept in a level position when in use. 2. Compass readings are easily affected by disturbing sources of magnetism, so the compass should always be used in the open air.

5. HISTORY Mode To set the history record interval time 1) Press “HISTORY” button until “HIS” is shown on the display and the history record interval time is flashing which indicates entering the history record interval time setting. Press “ALTITUDE/+” button to increase the value. Press “COMPASS/-” button to decrease the value. Press “HISTORY” button to confirm the setting and exit 2) History record interval time range: 1min ~ 60min (default 5min)
