Zone variation change procedure The difference between magnetic north
and geographical north is known as vari-
ance. In some areas, this difference can
sometimes be great enough to cause
false compass readings. Follow these in-
structions to set the variance for your par-
ticular location if this happens:
1. Establish your location on the zone
map
q A
. Record your zone number.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON po-
sition while pushing the COMP switch.
3. Continue to push the COMP switch for
more than 5 seconds until the current
zone entry number is displayed on the
compass display.
If any operations are not carried out
for more than 5 seconds, the display
shows direction as normal.
4. Push the COMP switch repeatedly until
the new zone entry number is dis-
played.
Once the desired zone number is dis-
played, stop pushing the COMP switch
and the display will show compass direc-
