11.0 Compass Mode - The Precautions  
Precautions when Using XG-20  
-
Keep your XG-20 away from magnets or  
appliances which may contain magnetic objects such as  
mobile phones, speakers, motors and etc.  
-
The XG-20, like most magnetic compass,  
points to the magnetic North which is slightly different  
from the true North. Check the 'What is Magnetic  
Declination' section for more detail.  
-
Perform the compass calibration in the following  
conditions: :  
1) when the XG-20 is used thefirst time,  
2) when the 'DIST' indicator is flashing,  
3) the battery has been replaced, or  
4) when using the compass in a location different  
from the place in which the compass hadbeen calibrated.  
-
To achieve an accurate result, you should avoid  
measuring a direction in the followingconditions:  
1) the watch is close to magnetic/metal objects,  
2) the watch is close to electrical appliances, or  
bezel  
The features of the HiTrax Scout  
which relat to the Compass Mode  
3) the watch is inside

What is Magnetic Declination  
T h e M a g n e t i c N o r t h P o l e i s s l i g h t l y  
-
different from the True North Pole. The XG-20, like  
most magnetic compasses, points to the Magnetic North  
Pole. On the contrary, everything measured from a map is  
related to the TrueNorth Pole.  
Magnetic North

Declination  
Magnetic  
Declination  
-
The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and  
True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Its  
amount (degrees and minutes) and direction(easterly and  
westerly) depend on where you are.  
-
For serious compass user or users who intends to perform  
accurate navigation, the compass must be adjusted to  
compensate for magnetic declination.  
-
XG-20 also includes  
a
compensation setting for

Magnetic Declination Information  
-
Most topographic maps show magnetic north pole and or  
the magnetic declination information.  
-
This manual includes the magnetic declination for some  
major cities. Check the 'Magnetic Declination at  
Major Cities' section for more detail.

For those cities whose names are not included in the list,  
you may like to refer to the online magnetic
