Calibrating the Electronic Compass
When you first use the Vista Cx or after you install
new batteries, you have to calibrate the electronic
compass outdoors. The accuracy of the electronic
compass is adversely affected if the unit is not held
level or you are near objects that generate magnetic
fields, such as cars or buildings.
To calibrate the electronic compass:

Page Options menu.
2. Highlight Calibrate
Compass, and press
Enter to open the
Calibration Page.
3. With the Start button
highlighted, press Enter,
and follow on-screen
directions for holding and
turning the unit.
A “Just Right,” “Too Fast,”
or “Too Slow” message
appears notifying you to
adjust your turning speed,
as needed. Hold the unit
level while turning.
A “Calibration Successful”
message appears when
finished.
If a “Calibration Failed”
message appears, repeat the process.
