This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Push the switch in and adjust the pot until you have set the pointer to 
exactly full scale.  Then carefully push the switch in again to take the 
circuit out of Calibration mode; now you should see your actual beam 
heading — as accurately as it can be read.  The Calibration switch 
compensates for individual line voltages, circuit variables, etc.  I used 
the word “carefully” above because it’s all to easy to impart a slight 
rotation to the knob (and hence the calibration setting) when pushing on the 
switch that’s on the same shaft.
