Teric Manual is the best source to understand how to use their Compass. It’s very easy to read and follow instruction.

I usually turn
OFF the
AI (for reading pressure transmitter) and
Compass at the end of my diving trip to save battery power during storage, between dive trips. Then, at the night before the next dive trip, I turn on the
AI &
Compass and
Outer Ring to
Show.
To turn
ON the
Compass, just press the
Menu (bottom-left) button to show the menu. Then scrolll down through the menu by pressing the
down-arrow button (the same bottom-left button as the
Menu button) until you see
Settings, then select it by pressing the
Select (top-right button). You are now in
Settings menu. Then scroll down to
Compass (it should show in
OFF mode). Turn it
ON by pressing
Select button twice to show the selection menu
OFF and
ON and scroll down to
ON and select it.
Before you leave the
Compass menu, you want to make sure that the
Outer Ring is set to
Show. If it’s on
Hide, scroll down to the
Outer Ring,select
Show. Then press
Home (bottom-right) button to go back to
Home display.
When you’re in
Dive mode, you should now be able to see the red arrow moving around on the outer ring, showing the north direction whenever you rotate the display.
To mark your destination, just point Teric’s 12 o’clock position to the destination and press the
Select button twice (first press to popup the compass display, second press to mark the destination). You would then see the green dot pointing to your destination.
Once you reach your destination and you want to return to where you started, orient the green floating button to Teric’s 6 o’clock mark. Start finning back to the home base direction while maintaining the green button on the 6 o’clock mark. After about similar outbound time lapse, you may start seeing your home base (anchor line for example).
