non-essential electrical accessories (rear window

2. Drive to an open, level area away from large
metallic objects or structures.
3. Insert an appropriate diameter rod (paper clip)
into the left switch access hole underneath the
compass module and press gently for 1-2
seconds until ªCALº and a direction appear on
the display.
4. Release the button and drive in a circle until
ªCALº disappears from the display (approx. 2-3
circles).
Compass-Zone Adjustment1. The zone setting is factory pre-set to Zone 8.
Refer to the Zone Map in this manual to verify
the correct compass zone setting for your
geographical location.
