EEEElectronic lectronic lectronic lectronic CompassCompassCompassCompass The Electronic Compass page shows directions of movement including orientation, pitch angle, roll angle, and azimuth angle. The Accuracy reading is for your reference. When the application determines that calibration is needed, it will pop up the “Calibration” graphics asking you to calibrate the compass. Hold the device and swing it in the way as shown on the screen. Do this several times until the popup graphics disappear. NOTE: Follow these guidelines when using the compass.  Keep the device away from objects that generate magnetic fields, such as cars, large belt buckles, computers, cell phones, etc.  If you must use the compass inside a car, the device should be at least 20 cm (7.87 inches) away from metal objects such as car doors, dashboard, air vents, etc.  Avoid playing music with the internal speaker or connecting the AC adapter.

Managing PowerManaging PowerManaging PowerManaging Power The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the device. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating an SD card, may consume the battery power considerably. Low Battery Signals and ActionsLow Battery Signals and ActionsLow Battery Signals and ActionsLow Battery Signals and Actions CAUTION: When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation. The battery status (charging or discharging) and level (as a percentage of fully charged) are displayed at the top of the screen. To check the battery information, go to Settings Settings Settings Settings  BatteryBatteryBatteryBattery. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your device will turn off automatically. You need to connect the device to external AC power for charging before you can use it again.
