INTEGRATED COMPASS
Models 71420, 71215
Models 71420 and 71215 have a built in
6400mil analog compass. The compass reading
is aligned with the vertical line of the reticle and
each hash mark of the compass represents 20
mils. The compass will only indicate direction
to or from an object but not relative position.
To determine position you need a map or chart
and a protractor. When an object lies north
from you, the compass will read 64 (6400mils).
The mils will increase as you look through the
binocular and scan clockwise. 16 (1600mils)
means that the object lies east from you, 32
(3200mils) is south and 48 (4800mils) is west.
To ensure precise measurements, make sure
that the object is in the middle of the reticle
and that the binocular is held horizontal and
level when reading the compass.
Note: When using the compass always keep in mind the local variation
between magnetic north (the compass reading) and true north. When
holding the binocular make sure that your finger/hand is not covering the
white button (compass window) on the top of the binocular as it allows
light to enter the binocular so the compass reading can be seen.
