In the tail cone you will see a thing that looks like a small bowl about 3-4 inches across with wires coming out of it. This is the magnetic detector unit. This detector gives a direction for the compass to point to. Well you have a gyro that maintains a heading for you. If the earth stood still that is all you would need but as we know the earth rotates and as a gyro points will rotate in a fixed plane in space it needs to be processed to make it move. Now I told you all that so that this makes sense. What the dial is the latitude that you are operating at. An eye ball value is good enough. Set that and one of the switches that you can see selects a hemisphere N or S as those guys in Aus need to tweak the gyro in the other direction. When it operates like this, using precession and the flux detector it is in what is known as slaved mode ie the compass is slaved to the flux detector. There will be a switch also do de-slave the compass. In this position the compass is just like any old gyro compass that gets fitted to a Cessna a dumb gyro head. There is if I remember correctly a switch that allows you to manually presses the gyro. This works in both slaved and free modes but is intended to work like the little knob on the front of the Cessna Gyro to reset the compass heading. Look at the compass rose on the panel you should see the symbols for north and south. Look at the control head for the same symbols chances are that that is the hemisphere knob, one down. With the compass turned on one of the switches will have a center position but will allow for momentary switching in two directions this is the manual precession switch and with power on you should see the compass dial move when it is moved. The remaining switch is the slaved switch. If your compass comes up and knows which way to point chances are it is in the slaved position. If it does not know which way is up move the switch and try again.
