Dear Binocular enthusiast,
We congratulate you on your purchase of the Commander
Global marine binoculars and thank you for the trust you
have placed in us. In buying these binoculars, you have
purchased a STEINER product that represents the highest
degree of innovative spirit, unprecedented quality and
no-compromise ruggedness. We wish you many unique
viewing experiences with your new Commander Global!
1. Inserting the battery (3pcs):
Only use type cR 2 batteries
In order to be able to carry out elec-
tronic compass measurements, the
binoculars are equipped with batteries.
These are included in the scope of
delivery, but are not installed when
delivered, to prevent premature discharging.
to install the batteries, proceed as follows: Open
the battery compartment cover of the binoculars (Fig. 1).
No tools are required to do so. Simply turning the cover in
an anticlockwise direction is sufficient.
You can now insert the batteries. Take
care when doing this that the negative
pole is visible (Fig. 2) when you replace
the cover, and close until watertight by
turning the cover clockwise. The life of a set of batteries is
more than 1000 measurements under normal conditions.
In order to conserve the battery, the compass display
switches off after 10 seconds of inactivity.
2. Basic information concerning the WORLDWIDe-
cOMPAss:
The new WORLDWIDE-COMPASS has integrated electronic
magnetic field measurement and thus ensures absolutely
correct bearings anywhere in the world, from Alaska to
Fiji. Even the declination of the binoculars is unimportant,
since it is compensated for by a sensor.
2.2 explanation of the individual compass functions:
switching on the compass:
This can only be done by pressing the button.
Finding bearings:
After pressing the button, the binoculars automatically
go into measurement mode. When you now look through
the binoculars, the animated rotating compass scale is
displayed.
Noting currently displayed measurement value:
During measurement, press the button once briefly to
retain the value. to continue measuring, it is only
necessary to press the button again.

by means of two function pushbuttons
that are located directly next to the
