The Pyle PDCT3 is a versatile device that combines a professional stopwatch, a digital compass, and a thermometer with a clock and alarm. The stopwatch function allows you to track elapsed time with 1/100th-second precision and store up to 30 lap or split times, including the fastest lap. The digital compass provides accurate direction readings with a resolution of 1 degree and alerts you to magnetic interference. The thermometer measures temperatures from -10°C to 50°C and features a memory function for minimum and maximum values.

sensitive to different
env
ironments where
the
earth magnetic fields is distorted, such
as
interference by closing to heavy

To
keep a

accurate heading information.
you
must
ca
librate the compass when
(1) the magnetic distort message "Err" is continuously
displayed
(2)
the
numeric heading information with an error more than
10
degree
(3)
the
unit is used for the first time in a vehicle
so
as
to
separate the earth's field from the interference.
