Calibrating the Compass
The Electronic Compass must be calibrated outdoors when you first use the Rino 130 and
after new batteries have been installed. The accuracy of the Electronic Compass is adversely
affected if the unit is not held level or is held near items that generate magnetic fields, such as
cars, large belt buckles, etc.
To Calibrate the Electronic Compass:
1. Use the PAGE button to access the Navigation Page.
2. Use the
THUMB STICK to highlight the Option Menu on-screen button and press IN.
3. Highlight the ‘Calibrate Compass’ option and press the
THUMB STICK IN.
4. Press the
THUMB STICK to activate the ‘Start’ button and then follow on-screen directions
for holding and turning the unit. Hold the unit level when calibrating the compass.
The unit displays a “Just Right”, “Too Fast” or “Too Slow” message for you to adjust your
turning speed as needed. The “Calibration Successful” message displays when finished. If
a “Calibration Failed” message displays, repeat the process.
When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you manually turn it On again.
Sometimes, however, when you turn the Compass On, the Rino 130 overrides the Compass and
uses the GPS receiver to track your heading. The criteria for switching between the Compass
and the GPS is customized on the Heading Setup Page (see section Heading Setup Page).
Turning the Compass On and Off
Press and hold the ZOOM (Z) button. A message appears on the screen indicating that the
compass has been turned on or off. OR
Press the
PAGE button to access the Main Menu. Select ‘Setup’ and then ‘System’. Turn
the compass on and off through the System Setup Page (see section
System Setup Page
).
