I'm not receiving an accurate reading from the
compass
Try the following actions:
• If the compass doesn't point north, move your BlackBerry smartphone away from metal or magnets.
• If "Calibration required" appears at the bottom of the screen, calibrate the compass manually.
• To help prevent metal and magnets from interfering with the compass, close the Compass application before you get in
a vehicle or insert your smartphone in a holster.
