11.0 Compass Mode - The Precautions
Precautions when Using XG-20
-
Keep your XG-20 away from magnets or
appliances which may contain magnetic objects such as
mobile phones, speakers, motors and etc.
-
The XG-20, like most magnetic compass,
points to the magnetic North which is slightly different
from the true North. Check the 'What is Magnetic
Declination' section for more detail.
-
Perform the compass calibration in the following
conditions: :
1) when the XG-20 is used thefirst time,
2) when the 'DIST' indicator is flashing,
3) the battery has been replaced, or
4) when using the compass in a location different
from the place in which the compass hadbeen calibrated.
-
To achieve an accurate result, you should avoid
measuring a direction in the followingconditions:
1) the watch is close to magnetic/metal objects,
2) the watch is close to electrical appliances, or
bezel

which relat to the Compass Mode
3) the watch is inside

11.2 Compass Mode - Magnetic Declination
What is Magnetic Declination
T h e M a g n e t i c N o r t h P o l e i s s l i g h t l y
-
different from the True North Pole. The XG-20, like
most magnetic compasses, points to the Magnetic North
Pole. On the contrary, everything measured from a map is
related to the TrueNorth Pole.

Magnetic
Declination
Magnetic
Declination
-
The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and
True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its
amount (degrees and minutes) and direction(easterly and
westerly) depend on where you are.
-
For serious compass user or users who intends to perform
accurate navigation, the compass must be adjusted to
compensate for magnetic declination.
-
XG-20 also includes
a
compensation setting for
M a g n e t i c D e c l i n a t i o n . C h e c k ' C a l i b r a t i n g t h e

Magnetic Declination Information
-
Most topographic maps show magnetic north pole and or
the magnetic declination information.
-
This manual includes the magnetic declination for some
major cities. Check the 'Magnetic Declination at
Major Cities' section for more detail.

For those cities whose names are not included in the list,
you may like to refer to the online magnetic
declination information at:

XG-20 will compensate the compass bearing
wherever the magnetic declination is either

during the calibration.
