1. Install per paragraph 3.2.12.
2. To view a distant object more clearly, adjust the objective lens focus by gripping the compass and
turning it clockwise.
3. To view the compass through the monocular, grip the compass with your index finger on top and your
thumb on the illumination button on the bottom. Press the button slowly with your thumb until the
proper brightness is obtained. The image should appear as shown in Figure 3-16.
NOTE:
• Increase brightness slowly. Excessive brightness may burn a temporary image into the image
intensifier. Do not increase brightness any more than is necessary to clearly read the compass
heading.
• The monocular must be focused at or near infinity for proper compass operation.
4. The compass readings should change when you move your head from side to side. Rotate or tap the
compass slightly to ensure that the compass is operating correctly. Hold the monocular in a level
position to assure free rotation of the compass scale.
5. The tick mark closest to the center of the lighted display is the compass bearing. The tick marks are
in degrees, with longer tick marks every five degrees and bearing labels every 10 degrees.
3.3.7. OPERATION WITH A MAGNIFIER
1. Install per paragraph 3.2.13.
NOTE:
To allow focusing, the mated magnifier and objective lens will turn as a unit.
2. While observing an object, grab the magnifier and adjust the focus until the image becomes sharp
and clear.
