In some areas, magnetic declination can be considerable, so it is a good idea to check for declination on your map or on the Internet. To adjust the compass declination angle, go to Compass Mode and hold down ADJ button for 3 seconds, and the Compass Homing Mode is displayed. Press MODE button until you get into Declination Setting Mode displayed as ‘DEC’. Press UP or DOWN button for desired value then just press ADJ button to save settings and exit the mode. Declination is sometimes measured as degrees positive and negative. Degrees East are considered positive and Degrees West are considered negative. For example, to change from 3 degrees East (positive) declination to 3 degrees West (negative) press the DOWN button until 3W appears. Self Homing Mode Allows you to preset a reference bearing which tells the Compass to alert you to the direction you should be heading. Go into Compass Mode and press MODE button to display compass Homing. To adjust homing bearing, press and hold ADJ button for three seconds. Press UP button or DOWN button to adjust to desired bearing setting. Pressing UP or DOWN will increase or decrease bearing by increments of ten. A single push of UP or DOWN moves bearing by 1 degree. When done, press ADJ to return to Homing mode. To return to Compass Mode press MODE button. To operate the compass in Homing Mode go into the Compass Mode first, then press MODE button to get into Homing Mode. The main reading displays the actual bearing and the lower reading shows the ‘home’ bearing. The segments on the circumference show the difference between the two bearings, which can be used to redirect you to stay on course. To conserve energy the display in the Homing Mode will show 3 ‘bars’ instead of the current bearing, and the segments will not be displayed after 1minute. To activate the display again you must press COMP. To exit the Homing Mode press MODE again to return to default Compass Mode. AUTO BACK LIGHT Press the LIGHT button to turn on LCD backlight for 5 seconds. Night Mode Night Mode allows the backlight to come on automatically when any of the function keys are pressed except when the compass is in Compass Mode. Press and hold down LIGHT button for 3 seconds, and the Night Mode icon (represented by the light symbol) appears. To turn off press and hold down LIGHT button until the light symbol disappears. BATTERY Installing a Battery To open the battery compartment cover, insert a coin in the coin slot and rotate cover in a clockwise direction until it lifts open. Insert the lithium cell (battery type: CR2430) into the compartment, making sure that the negative polarity faces downwards. Close battery compartment cover until it clicks shut. Low Battery Indicator A blinking battery icon will appear when the battery is low. The battery compartment is on the back of the compass. Replace the used battery with a CR2430 lithium battery. Note: The watch is automatically reset when the battery is removed. Battery Life Your DNS is designed for continuous use and batteries will last over one year with regular usage. Heavy use of the alarms, light, or compass will shorten battery life. TROUBLE SHOOTING If the Cardinal points (N, NE, E, SE etc.) on your compass blink - Try holding the compass LEVEL using the bubble level as a guide. The Cardinal points may also blink when the Compass encounters magnetic interference from the surrounding areas. The Cardinal points blink because the Compass is unable to measure bearings accurately. If this does not fix the blinking, please recalibrate your compass. (Go to page 7 for Compass Calibration.) Remember to keep the Compass away from metal objects which may cause magnetic interference. Double check that your declination is properly set (In general, zero degrees should be the default setting). Three dashes are displayed – Your compass has gone into a "sleep" mode to save batteries. Press COMP to reactivate the compass. Can’t turn unit off – This unit is designed to be constantly on and the batteries will last about a year assuming normal usage. Reset compass - If, during operation, an external electrodischarge occurs near the compass, the unit may exhibit erroneous readings. To solve this problem, the watch must be reset and recalibrated. Note: The watch is automatically reset when the battery is removed. If your wristtop goes into a test mode after inserting the battery – You will need to re-install your battery. Remove battery. Wait 10 seconds then carefully re-insert the battery making sure that it is well placed in the battery compartment. Close battery door. You will know that your wristtop has gone into test mode – If you see the LCD segments around the display turning on one-by-one and moving in an counter-clockwise direction. After the test mode is completed, your wristtop will return to normal. The test mode will not harm your wristtop's normal operation.
