Precautions about bidirectional calibration

incorrectly, you will get wrong bearing sensor readings.

compass accuracy.

using it. The watch may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform bidirectional
calibration.
x
generate strong magnetism. Exposure to strong magnetism can magnetize the watch and cause
incorrect direction readings. If incorrect readings continue even after you perform bidirectional
calibration, it could mean that your watch has been magnetized. If this happens, contact your original
retailer or an authorized CASIO Service Center.
Bidirectional Calibration

Example: Advancing to an objective while monitoring your bearing
Using a map, you can adjust the direction ring so the bearing to the objective is at 12 o’clock. Then, even
if you lose sight of your objective, you can refer to the direction ring setting as you progress.

You can align a map with the northerly direction indicated by the watch, and then compare what is shown
on the map with your actual surroundings. This is helpful for checking your current location. This process
is called “setting a map”.
