HOW TO USE THE COMPASS:

Not only did STEINER invent the compass binocular, our

Commander

XP models are the most advanced marine

binoculars in the world. All 7x50 compass models feature

the largest compass currently available in marine binocu-

lars (Ø 40 mm) as well as illumination. This allows reading

bearings even under extreme conditions. Your compass is

pre-set for the magnetic field in the northern hemisphere

(zone 2).

To read a bearing line up the object to which you would

like to get the bearing on the vertical scale and read from

the compass scale beneath. The bearing is illuminated

by day light and can be illuminated by a touch of the but-

ton on the side of the compass at night.

Wearing a hat while using the compass binocular might

cover the illumination window of the compass and can

obstruct reading the bearing. Just push the illumination

buton and you will instantly be able to read your current

bearing.

Batteries are used to illuminate the compass. Before you

do anything else, try changing the batteries if the light

does not work. Do the following: Use a coin to open the

battery case by turning it counterclo-

ckwise. Exchange used round cell

batteries with new ones.

Battery types:

7x30 models: 1x 3V CR 1225. 7x50 models: 2x 1,5V 350.

Place the new battery with plus pole towards the top into

the battery compartment. Then close the cover by turning

to the right (clockwise).

Note: The batteries used here have a non-magnetic property.

This way, the compass is not affected and extremely precise

navigation is guaranteed.

Never dispose of your product with other household waste.

Please inform yourself about the local

rules on the separate collection of elec-

trical and electronic products.
