32. s does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the backlight Digital Compass Precautions This watch features a built in magnetic bearing sensor that detects terrestrial magnetism This means that north indicated by this watch is magnetic north which is somewhat different from true polar north The magnetic north pole is located in northern Canada while the magnetic south pole is in southern Australia Note that the difference between magnetic north and true north as measured with all magnetic compasses tends to be greater as one gets closer to either of the magnetic poles You should also remember that some maps indicate true north instead of magnetic north and so you should make allowances when using such maps with this watch Location e Taking a direction reading when you are near a source of strong magnetism can cause large errors in readings Because of this you should avoid taking direction readings while in the vicinity of the following types of objects permanent magnets magnetic necklaces etc concentrations of metal metal doors lockers etc high tension wires aerial wires household appliances TVs personal computers washing machines freezers etc e Accurate direction readings are impossible while in a train boat air plane etc e Accurate readings are also impossible indoors especially inside ferro concrete structures This is because the metal framework of such structures picks up magnetism from appl
