| The V5000TA Multi-Sensor Vehicle Compass series follows the innovative and popular Co-Pilot. Its sleek metal finish and large, slim LCD complement its state-of-the-art engineering. The V5000 MSV Compass features * Patent magnetic Sensor Technology * Big Digital Readout * EL Backlight * Simple Calibration * Inside Temperature Sensor * Smart Shutoff Feature * Automatic Trip Timer * Clock * Distortion Detection * Multiple Trip Log * Declination Correction * 180 degrees Adjustable Bracket * Suction-Cup Mounting * Battery Power * Wide Temperature Range * The V5000 uses patented magnetic sensor technology designed for the U.S. military --- the same technology used by GM, Ford, and DaimlerChrysler. * Both numeric digits and cardinal points (N, NE, E, etc.) are displayed to provide maximum heading information. Easy-to-find side buttons provide high-quality illumination at night. The V5000 is designed for use in a car, sport-utility vehicle, truck, or RV, so metal-frame calibration is simple, requiring no manual adjustments to the compass. * The Inside Temperature Sensor can be selected between °F and °C, the V5000 displays current temperature and stores temperature extremes for up to 3 separate journeys. * The V5000 can sense when you have stopped your vehicle and will automatically shut off to preserve battery-life. * The automatic trip timer allows you to store the time traveled on two separate journeys. * The Clock can choose to display in either standard or military time. * The V5000 warns you when magnetic interference from moving objects is compromising compass accuracy. * The Multiple Trip Log can store and record time and temperature information for up to 3 trips. * When you input your regional declination angle, the compass automatically adjusts for the difference between true north and magnetic north. * The 180 degrees adjustable bracket allows you to mount the V5000 on all types of windshields, dashboards, and headliners. * There are heavy-duty suction cups hold the compass firmly in place without any permanent tape or screws. The V5000 operates on 2 AAA batteries (included) for over 250 hours of use. You may also purchase a 12-volt cigarette-lighter adapter. * The V5000T adds an outside temperature sensor, which stores temperate extremes for multiple trips. * The V5000TA adds the outdoor temperature sensor and an altimeter that displays current altitude as well as altitude extremes for up to 3 separate journeys. The V5000 works in a range of -14°F to 158°F for operation and-40°F to 185°F for storage |
