© 2002 Design, 2014 Doc. No. 12-5382-r01 (10/24/14)
REFERENCE MENU, information includes (Fig. 87A) -
> Current Depth with FT (or M) icon, blank on surface.
> SET HEADING.
> REVERSE HEADING.
> Reference Mode icon (2 bars with arrow) with numeric heading set below it.
> On time remaining, counting down, if 15 to 0 (sec).
• A or M (< 2 sec) - to toggle between SET and REVERSE.
• S (< 2 sec) - to save the selection highlighted, and -
> If SET HEADING, display REF OP Main with the Heading previously set flashing allowing it to be set.
> If REVERSE HEADING, select it as the OP Mode with new Heading (180° opposite of the Reference Heading set).
Set Reference Heading, information includes (Fig. 87B) -
> Current Depth with FT (or M) icon, blank on surface.
> Static Arrow (green, at 12 o'clock), actual direction of travel.
> Current dynamic compass (diver) heading (graphic (N, E, SE, etc.).
> Current (actual) numeric heading value with degrees ° icon. Removed when tilt exceeds 90°.
> Reference Mode icon (2 bars with up arrow) with graphic SET below it flashing.
> On time remaining with SEC icon, counting down from15 to 0 (seconds), blank when > 15 seconds remain.
> VARI (AR), while ascending.
• A (2 sec) - to access Adjust Brightness. As previously described.
• S (2 sec), or no button action during 2 min - to revert to Surface or Dive Main.
• S (< 2 sec) - to flash the Heading value (in the center), with SET solid.
• Rotate (keeping level) in either direction until the new Heading desired is displayed (in the center).
• S (< 2 sec) - to lock in new Heading, and revert to the Reference OP Main displaying the new Heading value set in place of
the graphic SET. The current (diver's) heading will be displayed in the center.
Reverse Heading, information includes (Fig. 87C) -
> Current Depth with FT (or M) icon; or Surface Interval time (hr:min) with SURF icon when on the surface.
> Static Arrow (green, at 12 o'clock), actual direction of travel.
> Current dynamic compass (diver) heading (graphic (N, E, SE, etc.).
> Current (actual) numeric heading value with degrees ° icon. Removed when tilt exceeds 90°.
> Reverse Mode icon (2 bars with down arrow) with new Heading (180 ° opposite) below it flashing.
> On time remaining with SEC icon, counting down from15 to 0 (seconds), blank when > 15 seconds remain.
> VARI (AR), while ascending.
> Low Battery icon - yellow (if voltage is at the warning level), or red flashing (if voltage is at the alarm level).
• A (2 sec) - to access Adjust Brightness. As previously described.
• S (2 sec), or no button action during 2 min - to revert to Surface or Dive Main.
• S (< 2 sec) - to confirm the reversal with the new Heading value (below the bar/arrow icon) solid.
• Rotate (keeping level) in either direction until the current heading (in the center) matches the reverse value below.

CALIBRATION (surface only)
> It may be advantageous to Calibrate the Compass before its first use after purchase, before use in new global regions, or if
inaccuracies are experienced. Local magnetic fields can effect display of actual location when reading a digital compass.
> Calibration will be required when the battery is changed.
Upon selecting Calibration on the Compass Menu (by S < 2 sec), a screen appears displaying the graphics CALIBRATE with
TURN FACE DOWN (Fig. 88A)*.
*This screen will also be accessed after the Battery is changed and Data is either saved or cleared.
To initiate Calibration -
> Turn the unit over (face down) until it beeps, then turn it over (face up) until it beeps (Fig. 88B), after which a screen
appears displaying the graphics CALIBRATE with ROTATE 360° KEEP LEVEL (Fig. 88C).
> While keeping it in a flat level position, slowly and steadily rotate* it 360° (keeping it level is critical for accuracy), progress
will be indicated by a circle forming on the display (Fig. 88D).
*Rotation should take about 15 seconds. If not fully rotated in 15 seconds, operation will revert to the Compass Menu.
