A compass needle points to magnetic north which may be slightly different from true north which is used on maps This difference called the declination angle which varies around the globe is typically small and can be ignored in many cases However if you wish to compensate for this difference there are two ways to do so You can do it manually by turning the compass ring so that indicator hand points to your declination angle see table below instead of north using declination scale on compass ring Or you may have the watch automatically compensate by setting your declination angle after compass calibration see COMPASS CALIBRATION With proper declination angle set indicator hand will point to true north Declination angles for major world cities W is negative and E is positive on declination scale Anchorage Ade LONJON eenen eeaeee aana 2W Rio De Janeiro 22W Atlanta E ANNE UMM ROCK E 1E San Franciscon a 15E O E E tee 1W Livingston MT ele Seattie Ea E ross 18E BOSO E A er TSW AMI ono a e TA AS EShanena i e e E 5W calz aV r a ts 16E New York City TOW WON a E E 11W Chicagon T SWE Orlando S E arte 5W Vancouver 18E DENVG lar tise ere ene aah gee OES OSIOM ye secrete 1E Washington DC 11W Jenusalemn ea e E AES ERANS AA E e sane IWW Aate rbu C E 14W For more magnetic declination information go to www timex com expedition INDIGLO NIGHT LIGHT

4. Do not store watch near any source of magnetism such as computers appliances or TVs as watch can take on a magnetic charge yielding inaccurate headings To calibrate compass pull crown to MIDDLE position Keep watch level or place on level surface if band interferes place watch on inverted cup Watch may be face down but take care to protect watch face Press COMPASS push button to begin Indicator hand rotates two revolutions to remind you to rotate watch While level SLOWLY rotate watch two revolutions taking at least 15 seconds per revolution This is critical in achieving proper calibration aT When done press any push button keeping watch level Indicator hand moves back and forth to acknowledge end of calibration and then moves to current declination angle setting See DECLINATION ANGLE for more information If you do not wish to set declination angle push crown in Otherwise to have watch automatically compensate for declination angle turn compass ring until north is at 12 o clock Press either TIDE or TEMP push button to move indicator hand east or west to point to your location s declination angle see table below using declination scale Hold push button to move hand fast Push crown in when done COMPASS OPERATION Normally compass is off and indicator hand shows tide or temperature Compass must be calibrated prior to use and calibration should be performed in the area of intended use see COMPASS CAL

6. IBRATION If compass has not been calibrated since battery replacement attempting to activate compass causes watch to rotate indicator hand once and play melody to remind you to calibrate While holding watch level press COMPASS push button to activate compass Indicator hand moves to point north If watch is turned indicator hand will continue to move always pointing north After 20 seconds compass will automatically turn off and hand will return to its normal operation This conserves battery life Press COMPASS push button at any time to keep compass on for another 20 seconds NOTE While compass is on INDIGLO night light may flicker slightly when on This is normal as night light must be turned off briefly during compass readings to maintain accuracy Also second hand moves in two second increments while compass is on USING THE COMPASS Once compass is activated as described above there are two typical ways to use it Which way am I headed Hold watch so that 12 o clock is in direction of your travel Turn compass ring until indicator hand is pointing to north on ring Your heading is direction on ring at 12 o clock Which way should I go If you Know the direction you want to go e g NE turn compass ring until that direction appears at 12 o clock Hold watch so that you are facing 12 o clock Then turn your body until indicator hand points to north on compass ring You are now facing the direction you want to go
