HOW TO SET THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION ANGLE ON MY SPORTDOG® TEK 1.5

WHAT IS THE MAGNETIC DECLINATION AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Magnetic declination, or magnetic variation, is the angle on the horizontal plane between magnetic north and true north. This angle varies depending on the position on the Earth's surface and changes over time.

Incorrect magnetic declination will result in inaccurate compass readings.
