INSTALLATION
Compass Calibration Set-Up
The unit will need to be calibrated in order for the
compass to provide accurate readings. To calibrate the
unit, perform the following procedure:
1. Mount the unit level in the center of the vehicle’s
windshield in which it will be used. Make sure
there are no other magnetic sources near the
detector (i.e., speaker).
2. Select a large clear area (parking lot or field) without
any power lines.
3. While parked, press both volume buttons
simultaneously until the compass headings start
to rotate.
3. Drive vehicle slowly in two complete circles, in
either direction. If calibration does not automatically
finish press both volume buttons simultaneously to
complete calibration. The unit will beep twice and
show current compass heading.
Note: If unit mounting is relocated in the vehicle, (i.e.
visor to windshield mounting or dash mounting), or if the
unit is moved to another vehicle, you must recalibrate
the compass.
