11.0 Compass Mode - The Precautions
Precautions when Using XG-20

-Keep your XG-20 away from magnets orappliances 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 MagneticDeclination' section for more detail.

-Perform the compass calibration in the followingconditions: :
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 had been calibrated.
-To achieve an accurate result, you should avoidmeasuring a direction in the following conditions:

1) the watch is close to magnetic/metal objects,
2) the watch is close to electrical appliances, or

The features of the HiTrax Scout 3) the watch is inside a moving object or a
which relat to the Compass Mode ferro-concrete building.

-In the standby mode, press any button except
[Light] button once to return to the Compass Mode.

11.2 Compass Mode - Magnetic Declination
What is Magnetic Declination

-The Magnetic North Pole is slightly

different from the True North Pole. The XG-20, likemost magnetic compasses, points to the Magnetic North

Pole. On the contrary, everything measured from a map is

Magnetic North True North

Magnetic related to the True North Pole.
Declination

Magnetic

Declination

-The angular difference between Magnetic North Pole and
True North Pole is called magnetic declination. Itsamount (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 forMagnetic Declination. Check 'Calibrating theCompass' section for more details onthe setting.

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

declination information at:

1.http://www.geolab.nrcan.gc.ca/geomag/e_cgrf.html

2.http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.pl

Magnetic Declination Compensation

-Compensate an object's bearing by subtract westerly

(W) magnetic declination or add easterly (E)
magnetic declination with the magnetic bearing.
Example 1

-238 Westerly magnetic declination and the compass
needle points 3238.

-The bearing will be 3238 (MB) - 238 (W) = 3008 (TB).

Example 2

-228 Easterly magnetic declination and the compassneedle points 2788.

-The bearing will be 2788(M) + 228(E) = 3008 (TB).

-XG-20 will compensate the compass bearing

wherever the magnetic declination is eitherWesterly (-ve) declination or Easterly declination (+ve)
automatically, if the user inputs the magnetic declinationangle of the city which is close to the user's current location

during the calibration.

-Check the 'Calibrating the Compass' section for more
details on the calibration.

Bearing Directions(Digital)

The Direction of an Object

-The direction of an object from a point is specified in
either compass points or digital bearing directions.

-The XG-20 provides both compass points or `
digital bearing directions.

The Compass Points

-The compass points are North, Northeast, East.
Southeast, South, Southwest, West and Northwest.

-For example, in the figure on the left, the compass

points of object B from point A is East. The compasspoints of object C from point A is Southeast. The
compass points of object D from point A is Northwest.

The Digital Bearing

-The digital bearing direction of an object is defined as
the angular difference between North and the
object. (Assuming that 0 for North, and the measuring

8
range is from 0 to 359 ) 8

8

-For example, in the figure on the left, the digital bearing
direction of object B from point A is 90 . 8 The digitalbearing direction of object C from point A is 135 . The

8

digital bearing direction of object D from point A is

315 . 8

Measure Compass Directions

Measure Compass Directions

-When measuring compass directions, make surethat the XG-20 is placed on a flat surface
which is parallel to the horizon.

-If you are wearing the XG-20 during themeasurement, make sure that your wrist is
parallel to the horizon.

IMPORTANT: If the watch is not parallel to thehorizon when taking a measurement, the result may
be inaccurate.

-Point the pointer which is engraved on the watch inthe direction where your target object is.

-Press the [Compass] button once to select the
Compass Mode, in the Current Time Mode.

-The Compass points of the target object appears on

the 1st row of the display. The digital bearing
direction of the target object appears on the 2nd r o w
of the display. The arrow shape indicators on the
display points the magnetic north .

11.10 Compass Mode - Backward Bearing Direction
Backward Bearing Directions

-The XG-20 has a built-in a function which
shows the backward bearing direction of an object.

-The backward bearing direction is the bearingdirection opposite the direction from normal
bearing direction.

-When the 'Backward Bearing' indicator "A " is
appeared, the XG-20 shows the backward
bearing direction of the direction which the
watch's pointer is pointing.

NOTE: In Backward Bearing Compass Mode, the magnetic
north indicator and the compass points readout will not be
affected.

To Select Normal Bearing and Backward Bearing

-Press the [mode] button to select between normal andbackward bearing directions, in the Compass Mode.

-The backward bearing will be return to normal
bearing automatically in the following conditions:

1) the XG-20 change to standbymode.

Check your position by Backward Bearing

-The XG-20 can check your position by backward
bearing.

-Spot two distant identifiable landmarks (mountains,
light-houses, forts and buildings) of your current
position, such as the mountain A and B.

-Consult a map to find out the mountain A and B's
locations on a map.

-Check out the backward bearing directions of mountain
A and B of your current position, such as 1358 for
mountain A and 2708 for mountain B.

-Use a ruler to draw the line 1358 on the map which
starting from the mountain A. Draw the line s 2708 on
the map which starting from the mountain B.

-Your current position will be at the intersection point
(point A) of the lines 1358 and 2708.

To Check the Track Course Correct

-If you are hiking on a track, the XG-20 can keep
your track course correct.

-For example, the correct track is from point A to point D
as it is mentioned on the map on the left.

Before the Track

-Mark the points (identifiable landmarks) on a
topographic map where the track turns its direction or t h etrack branches its way, such as the point A, B, C and D.

-Check the bearing directions on a topographic map ofthe following points:

1)point B from point A (315 ),

8

2)point C from point B (0 ),

8

3)point D from point C (225 ), and

8

4)point E from point D (315 ).

During the Track

-Check that you are in the correct bearing direction at the
turning points or where the trail branches its way.

IMPORTANT: If you doubt of the directions and positions of
the track, consult a wrangler or park administration officerbefore starting your track.

Low Battery Indication

-If the battery low indicator

is appeared on thedisplay, it means that the capacity of the battery is
low. It is recommended to replace the battery with a new
one (CR-2032).
-Complete the battery replacement by a certified
service agency, because this XG-20 contains
precise electronic sensor and components.

-However, if the appearance of battery low indicator is

caused by an extremely low temperature, the indicator will

be disappeared when normal temperature returns.

IMPORTANT: Perform the compass calibration immediately,
if the battery has been replaced. Refer to the 'Before
Calibrate the Compass' and 'Calibrating the Compass'
sections for more detail of the calibration.
