This guide details how to perform a compass override on the REVIC PMR428 Smart Rifle Scope. The scope utilizes sophisticated sensors, including a magnetometer for directional input. The compass override feature allows users to manually set the directional heading when external magnetic interference (from rifle actions, benches, or other ferrous materials) might affect the sensor's accuracy. The process involves navigating through the scope's menu system to adjust the Azimuth setting in degrees.
