Manual Compass Calibration

  1. Press and hold the Zone/Calibration (left reading lamp button) button for 10 to 15 seconds. This will toggle the CAL mode on/off, causing the CAL symbol to illuminate/darken respectively.
  2. Release the button once the CAL symbol illuminates/darkens. Manual compass calibration has been initiated at this point.
  3. Drive the vehicle in circles in an area free from large metal objects until the CAL symbol is no longer displayed.

When the CAL symbol is no longer displayed, the compass is calibrated and should display correct headings. Verify proper calibration by checking North (N), South (S), East (E), and West (W). If the compass does not appear accurate, repeat the calibration procedure in another area.

NOTE: If the "CAL" message remains in the display, either there is excessive magnetism near the compass, or the unit is faulty. Repeat the calibration procedure at least one more time.
NOTE: If the wrong direction is still indicated in the compass display, the area selected for calibration may be too close to a strong magnetic field. Repeat the calibration procedure in another location.
