Calibrating an Airguide auto compass

I have an Airguide compass for my car but have lost the instructions. How do you set it up. It is the basic model with suction cups and a round globe on a square base

Don't know if this will help but it is worth a try. I had a Laser that when it needed calibration you needed to turn the wheel all the way to the right and do 4 complete circles. This calibrated it.

* ADJUSTING THE COMPASS
DO NOT USE STEEL SCREWDRIVER (THIS WILL AFFECT THE COMPASS MAGNETS) USE A DIME TO TURN REGULATOR SCREWS

* 1. Head North. Turn the regulator marked NS, very slowly, until the dial reads either N or S.
* 2. Head East. Turn the regulator marked EW, slowly, until the dial reads E.
* 3. Head South. If the compass does not read exactly on "S" -- Then turn the NS regulator just enough to remove only one-half of error.
* 4. Head West. Turn EW regulator just enough to remove only one-half of the error. Follow the same procedure as in step 3.
