Calibrating the Compass

When you first use the Rino 530, the Electronic Compass

must be calibrated outdoors and away from metal

objects. The accuracy of the Electronic Compass is

adversely affected if the unit is not held level or is held

near items that generate magnetic fields, such as cars,

large belt buckles, etc. Recalibration is recommended

after significant environmental changes such as location

changes, temperature fluctuations, switching from

lithium-ion battery power to alkaline or NiCad. etc.
