Features

Your RadioShack Digital Compass

conveniently provides the current time

and accurate heading information inside

your vehicle. It incorporates the same

magnetic sensor technology that is used

in factory-installed vehicle compasses.

This magnetic sensor technology allows

the compass to electronically separate

the earth’s magnetic field from the

magnetic fields generated by your

vehicle, thereby providing accurate

compass headings.

The compass’ other features include:

Built-In Clock — lets you see the time at

the touch of a button in either 12- or 24-

hour format.

4Features

Electro-Luminescent Backlight — lets

you view time and heading information

easily at night.

Automatic Shut-Off — saves battery

life.

Magnetic Distortion Detection — alerts

you when outside magnetic interference

is affecting compass accuracy.

Liquid Crystal Display — clearly dis-

plays the digital time and heading infor-

mation.

Water Resistant Design — lets you use

the compass on a boat.

Three Supplied Suction Cups — let you

mount your compass firmly on your vehi-

cle’s windshield.

Preparation

ATTACHING THE SUCTION

CUPS

The compass comes with three suction

cups for secure mounting. Insert the

small ball head of each suction cup into a

larger hole (shown here) on the bottom of

the bracket and slide each toward the

bracket’s smaller hole so they fit tightly.

6Preparation

MOUNTING THE COMPASS

Choose a clean mounting location on the

vehicle’s windshield where:

• the compass will not obstruct the

driver’s field of view

• the display can swivel up to 30º

• the compass will be at least 5 inches

away from any stereo speakers

Press the compass’ base against the

windshield so the suction cups take hold.

The compass has an adjustable bracket

that rotates backward or forward so you

can view the display more easily. To ad-

just the bracket, firmly grasp the display

and rotate it to the desired angle.

Operation

Caution: If you use a reflective sun

shade, do not leave the compass be-

tween the sun shade and the windshield.

The temperature extreme might damage

the compass.

Note: The compass must be calibrated

before you use it the first time and any

time you move or reset the compass or

adjust the display angle.

Operation

The compass has two modes — clock

mode and compass mode. In the clock

mode, you can view the current time.

When the compass automatically shuts

off, it returns to the clock mode. In the

compass mode, you can easily view your

current heading or program the desired

compass features. The compass displays

the numeric heading in 1° increments

from

0° to 359°. The cardinal points on

this compass are N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W,

and NW.

When DISTORTION appears, this

means the compass is detecting outside

magnetic interference that compromises

its accuracy. Distortion occurs when

there has been a significant change in

the surrounding magnetic fields, such as

when you are driving underneath an

overpass or over a bridge. The steel in

these structures causes inaccurate read-

ings in any magnetic compass, but unlike

other compasses, this compass detects

this interference and alerts you.

Operation

PROGRAMMING THE

COMPASS

The compass mode displays the current

compass heading and lets you calibrate

your compass to automatically compen-

sate for magnetic fields, program the

compass’ automatic shut-off time, and

program the backlight automatic shut-off

time.

Calibrating the Compass

Calibration helps the compass to better

separate the earth’s magnetic field from

the magnetic fields generated by external

influences (such as your vehicle, for ex-

ample), providing more accurate head-

ing information.

Calibrate the compass any time you

move or reset the compass, adjust the

display angle, or whenever DISTOR-

TION continuously appears.

Note: When calibrating the compass, you

will need to drive your vehicle in two com-

plete circles. Be sure your vehicle is on

level ground, in an open area, such as a

parking lot.

See “Mounting the Compass” on Page 6

and make sure the compass is securely

mounted, then follow these steps to cali-

brate your compass.

1. Press ADV so BASIC appears.

2. Hold down ADV until CAL flashes.

3. Press ENT so Hold and StILL

appear briefly. CAL appears again

and

TURN TWICE flashes.
