Compass Declination
Compass declination, also called ‘variation’ in mariners’ and aviators’ jargon, is the angle
between where a compass needle points, referred to as ‘magnetic north’, and the true north
pole. To set the compass declination, select the
COMPASS
mode and the
DECLINAT
menu. You
can set the compass declination from magnetic north by pressing the
x

z

setting appears, then pressing
{
to set.
Note:
If you notice an incorrect compass reading and your compass has been calibrated, you
may need to set the compass declination for your area. Visit www.motorola.com or
call Motorola for details on setting compass declination for your area.
