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.
