*DECLINATION

The angular difference between Magnetic North and True North is declination. The earths magnetic poles fluctuate over time. Go to http://ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/declination.shtml or check your local geophysical center. Declination also varies depending on your exact location. Set the declination on the ST-5000 to offset the difference between Magnetic North and True North.
A. Pull out the crown to position (2). B. Rotate the crown toward you until the desired time is set. C. Push in the crown, returning it to position (1). The time is now set.
NOTE: Initialization verifies that all LED and LCD elements are functioning properly: Each LED indicator and LCD digit will blink one time, one after the other. This includes the eight North indicators, the five PathFinder LEDs and the three LCD digits.

LONG PUSH
