Is it possible to calibrate this compass? If that is done, will it work properly. I have ones that do.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.

There is a button that has light written on it. Do not see anywhere to calibrate the compass. Directions are not close to being correct.

I found nothing in the instructions on how to calibrate. We just installed ours and so far it's accurate. Time will tell.

You should check with Garmin. They have made some sort of change since their new chartplotter will not work with older gps antennas. Must use this newer one. The reverse may be true.

I am not sure what you mean by calibrate, but it may require some adjustment to be perfectly sighted in at your desired distance. It includes tools for making the adjustments and some rudimentary instructions.

Make sure you are not picking up something behind the target. I have never had any accuracy problems with mine. Also, how do you know that it is 100 instead of 90? This model doesn't have gps btw.

I saw one in a second hand store in Flagstaff AZ Appx 2008 that had the compass in the stock. They're out there. My kids (2) still have one each ( commemorative 25th I think) I bought them for Christmas around early 90's but no compass. Wasn't there also a secret decoder?

Hi. . the compass, as well as the time section and the altimeter/depth gauge barometer all stay in their mode until you press the main button (center) that switches between these three modes. The backlight will however go off at the interval you set. So the compass stays in the compass mode until you change it by pressing the button. The compass has proven pretty accurate in my experience with this watch.

Hi Alex,That does mean that it can be calibrated. We also have a video to walk you through the process see it here. http://youtu.be/uN5Xrm3CPEw

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

Maybe you have a defective one. I am on my second and calibrate using a pH 7 neutral solution. Using the screwdriver provided and the little screw on the back I have no problem moving it up or down. This is my second one and both worked flawlessly.

I cannot give you a positive answer but I know I turned around once or twice to re-calibrate it for one thing. I hope you have better luck with it than I did. I junked mine it.

I ended up returning it because even after I calibrated it the calibration would come undone whenever I started to go somewhere. I have a Garmim GPS instead.

I have never calibrated mine and not sure how you would do it short of sending it back to factory. I have compared mine with several other test sets and also the system at my pool store and found it to be very accurate.

I see you are right. Guess need to remove case for compass to work right. I had not used compass.

I had the same issue. I purchased the weights to properly calibrate but still nothing. In my honest opinion, this scale is trash. Sorry

Unless you have a different compass than I do it should move freely.the compass should float to level by watching bubble.the chrome outer ring with lines should move. I'm not advanced with it yet to do the side sighting. I hope this helps.

Mine wasn't easy to calibrate. You need to press a button on the back and go around a block - - - a complete 360 degree turn. You may have to do this several times to get it to be reasonably accurate. Good luck.

I didn't calibrate mine. I haven't compared it with other thermometers, but it seems to be working just fine.
