Compass Calibration Set-up (1760, 1765 only)
The unit will need to be calibrated in order for the com-
pass to provide accurate readings. To calibrate the unit,
perform the following procedure:
1. Mount the unit level in the center of the vehicle’s wind-
shield 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 simultaneous-
ly until unit displays:
4. Drive vehicle slowly in at least two complete circles. If
calibration does not automatically finish press both volume
buttons simultaneously to complete calibration. The unit
will beep twice and display, for example:
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.
