Compass
Your ESD-9160 includes an internal 8-point
compass that will continuously display your
current direction of travel: N, NE, E, SE, S,
SW, W, or NW.
Calibrating the Compass
Important: Before using it for the first
time, you must calibrate the compass to
provide accurate indications of direction.
Calibration allows the compass electronics to
measure and store information about the
magnetic fields generated by your vehicle.
The compass will remain accurately calibrated
as long as your ESD-9160 is mounted in the
same place in your vehicle. If you change the
location where the unit is mounted or move it
to another vehicle, you must recalibrate the
compass.
The compass temporarily may not provide
accurate readings if you are inside a
building or enclosure, or are close to a large
metal tractor/trailer, truck, or train. Once
you are away from such a location, the
compass will work correctly again.

the CITY button the second
