Calibrating the Compass

The Electronic Compass must be calibrated outdoors when you first use the Rino 130 and 

after new batteries have been installed. The accuracy of the Electronic Compass is adversely 
affected if the unit is not held level or is held near items that generate magnetic fields, such as 
cars, large belt buckles, etc.

1.  Use the 

button to access the Navigation Page.

2.  Use the 

 to highlight the Option Menu on-screen button 

 and press IN.

3.  Highlight the ‘Calibrate Compass’ option and press the 

 IN.

4.  Press the 

 to activate the ‘Start’ button and then follow on-screen directions 

for holding and turning the unit.  Hold the unit level when calibrating the compass.  

 

The unit displays a “Just Right”, “Too Fast” or “Too Slow” message for you to adjust your 
turning speed as needed.  The “Calibration Successful” message displays when finished.  If 
a “Calibration Failed” message displays, repeat the process.

When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you manually turn it On again. 

Sometimes, however, when you turn the Compass On, the Rino 130 overrides the Compass and 
uses the GPS receiver to track your heading. The criteria for switching between the Compass 
and the GPS is customized on the Heading Setup Page (see section Heading Setup Page).  

Turning the Compass On and Off

•  Press and hold the 

button.  A message appears on the screen indicating that the 

compass has been turned on or off.  OR

•  Press the 

button to access the Main Menu.  Select ‘Setup’ and then ‘System’.  Turn 

the compass on and off through the System Setup Page (see section 

System Setup Page).
