Calibrate Compass

Calibrating the compass on the Xero® A1i bow sight or Xero® X1i crossbow scope improves the accuracy of Xero Locations. For best accuracy, calibrate the compass if experiencing irregular compass behavior with Xero Locations, after traveling long distances, experiencing large temperature changes, or after changing the batteries in the unit. 


How to Calibrate the Compass on Xero Bow Sight or Crossbow Scope

Calibrating the compass can be done while mounted to the bow or crossbow. Please take care when making the appropriate movements of the device while mounted to the bow.

To Calibrate the Compass:

  1. Go to Main Menu
  2. Select Xero X1i Gear Icon
  3. Select Calibrate Compass
  4. Spin the Xero in the direction shown on the display

Note: While spinning the device in the direction shown on the display it may change direction of the spin depending on the amount of calibration needed. Follow the instructions until a calibration complete message appears.

 If a calibration failed message appears just try to calibrate the compass again following the visual instructions on the display.
