’C º’ (COMPASS)
The compass needs to be calibrated before it is used. Calibration is made in the menu CAL. It is also necessary to
adjust the difference between true (geographic) north and magnetic north in the SET menu.
Metal framed glasses can cause disturbances in the compass function. If you are wearing metal framed glasses,
calibrate the instrument with the glasses on (see CAL below).
Note that surrounding magnetic fields can cause disturbances in the built-in compass, as with regular compasses.
• Important! All compasses use and are affected by the Earth’s magnetic fields
• All compasses are sensitive to disturbances in the surroundings caused by for example the following:
metals, household appliances, computers, high voltage power lines, etc.
Push the button one time. The bearing is displayed. Use the two linear lines in the display as your aim.

•
Hold the instrument vertically when measuring! The built-in compass will otherwise show an inaccurate value. If
leaning the instrument, an image/ message will be displayed urging you to correct the position.
•
Tilt the HCC upwards! Tilt the HCC downwards! Turn the HCC clockwise! Turn the HCC anti-clockwise!
Finish measuring by giving a short press on the button one time.
• If you from compass bearing want to proceed to measure a vertical angle, you can finish the measuring
with a long press at the button instead. The vertical angle will be displayed, see menu Ang.
