  Manual Digital Calibration
• In this mode, press Button E/C to set direction ‘W’/‘E’ accordingly, after direction confirmed, press Button B to choose angle data orderly.press Button E/C to increase/decrease number accordingly.
• Maximum angle correction scope: ±90° (‘W’ ‘E’±45°).
• Press Button B for 3 seconds to confirm the correct data and back to compass measurement mode.
  For example: If the direction of watch compass is wrong, you may use other tools to measure the north. Align number 12 with the north then press Button D to test the compass. The 3 o'clock arrow refers to the westward direction 5 °, select "E" in the east direction by the above operation method and input 5 °. Press Button A to confirm and re-measure the compass, then 3 o'clock arrow will point to the north, the digital correction is completed. If no other tools are found, please use the "CAL" auto calibration mode below but be sure it is ‘00’ for "W" or "E" in the "DEC" digital calibration mode.

Auto Calibration

• Press Button B or C then rotate the watch slowly(either clockwise or counterclockwise) under Auto Correction Mode. Rotate in the same direction to display compass orientation data and return to compass measurement mode, the compass can be automatically corrected. Note: Replace the battery on the first time you use the compass, the watch will indicate the compass needs to be corrected, please turn the watch according to above methods to correct the compass)
• Meaning of abbreviation in each direction as follows: 
  
• If the result of the calibration shows "ERROR", indicates that the environment you are measuring has a strong magnetic interference or the compass is out of order, leave the place and correct the compass then it will back to work.

C. Description

• Enter Compass measurement mode, stop measurement after 30 seconds, exit after 30 seconds and return to Time mode.
• Enter Barometric, Temperature and Weather Prediction mode, measure data once a second, exit and return to Time mode without keystroke for 1 minute.
• Enter Height and Temperature measurement mode within 3 minutes, measure data every 5 seconds , measure data every 2 minutes after 3 minutes, and don’t exit this mode.
• In Correction mode, when you press B key to exit, if display"error"that indicate the correction error. display"done" that indicate the correction is correct.
• In the setting state, the setting item flashes with 1HZ and exit to Setting state without keystroke for 1 minute.
• When air pressure or height test is higher than test range, it shows HI, lower than test range, it shows Lo.
• The method of weather forecast detection as follows: weather condition is judged every hour (based on the change of atmospheric pressure in the first four hours). If the pressure value is rising gradually, the weather is improving, and if the pressure value is decreasing gradually, the weather is getting worse. Weather conditions are divided into 4 (from good to bad): sunny, cloudy, cloudy, rainy days.
• The range of atmospheric pressure test is 300~1100mbar or 8. 84~32. 44inHg
• The range of temperature test is -10~60℃ or 14~140℉
• The range of height test is -700~9000m or -2300~29529F
• Instructions for using digital compass
• This watch is equipped with a magnetic directional sensor to detect geomagnetism. It means that the north as shown in this watch is the magnetic arctic, which is slightly different from the true arctic. The magnetic arctic lies in the north of Canada and the magnetic pole in the south of Australia. Please note that with all magnetic compass measurements, the closer the magnetic poles to the Earth, the greater the difference between the magnetic North Pole and the true Arctic. Furthermore, It is also important to note that some maps are represented as true arctic (not magnetic arctic), so appropriate adjustments should be made in the use of such maps and watches.
• Location measurement
• When measure direction near a strong magnetic field, a huge error will be created. Thus the following objects shall be avoided when measuring direction: Permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc. , metal blocks (iron doors, metal lockers, etc. ), high voltage wires, antennas, home appliances (TV, PC, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. )
• When in the train, ship or plane, etc. the direction value can not be measured correctly.
• The direction values cannot be correctly measured indoors, especially in buildings with many metals. This is because the metal structures in such buildings absorb magnetic force from electrical appliances, etc.
• Preservation
• If this watch is magnetized, the accuracy of the orientation sensor will be reduced.
• Therefore, this watch shall be kept in the vicinity of the magnet and any object which emits a strong magnetic force, including: Permanent magnets (magnetic necklaces, etc. ) and home appliances (TV, PC, washing machines, refrigerators, etc. )
• If you suspect that the watch may be magnetized, please calibrate the alignment of the directional Sensor Digital and Manual Corrections.
• The reason why the direction measured is incorrect
• If the direction is incorrect, please conduct direction correction. If measure direction near strong magnetic field, such as home electrical appliance, large iron bridge, steel pillar, overhead cable, etc. or measured the direction in a train or ship, it will result in error. Please move away from the large metal object and measure the direction once again. Please note that the digital compass can not be used in train or ship.
• Why different results will be produced when measure direction in a same place?
• The magnetic force from high voltage cable nearby give interference to the geomagnetic detection by this watch. Please move away from high voltage cable and do detection once again.
• Why problem occurs when measure direction indoor?
• TV set, personnel computer, speaker or other objects will interfere in the geomagnetic detection by this watch. Please keep away from interferential objects or do detection outdoor. It will be more difficult when do direction detection within a building made of reinforced concrete. Please note that the direction
• The working principle of altimeter:
• As the height increases, the pressure and temperature usually decrease. Height measurements of this watch is based on International Standard Atmospheric Pressure (ISA) values developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which define the relationship between altitude, pressure and temperature.
