T6320 Features
CAUTION:
The T6320 contains sophisticated electronic measuring components
(compass, barometer, and altimeter). These components require calibration
and care to function properly. Improper calibration or care will result in
inaccurate readings.
Compass
The compass feature is an accurate and instantaneous directional aid. When held
horizontally, the direction the radio antenna is pointing is displayed. The compass displays
eight cardinal points (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW) and the corresponding numeric
compass degrees from north; for example 17
o
, 26
o
. Calibrate the compass for first use, after
changing batteries, during and after use in a motor vehicle, or after major changes in global
position.
Note:
The effect of electric accessories and high current devices present in motor vehicles
can cause incorrect compass readings. The compass should be recalibrated during
and after use in a motor vehicle.
Calibrating the Compass
To calibrate the compass, select the
COMPASS
mode and the
CALIBRAT
menu. Keep the radio
level during the calibration procedure. After turning calibration on, hold the radio horizontally
and rotate it at least a full circle (360
o
). Press
y
or turn calibration off to set the calibration.
Note:
Each time you select
CALIB ON
, you must perform the calibration procedure. Selecting
CALIB ON
clears previous calibration settings.
