CALIBRATING

THE COMPASS

Step 1-Pitch

(rotate 1 full cycle “end over end”, in a vertical plane up/down)

Step 2: Yaw

(rotate 1 full cycle “spinning around”, in a horizontal plane left/right)

Step 3: Roll

(rotate 1 full cycle as shown along the binocular’s center hinge axis)

READING THE COMPASS

After completing the last rotational cycle, the compass is calibrated, and will display “0” degrees when the binocular is pointing straight North (magnetic north), 180 degrees when pointed due South, etc. The chart below shows the range of degrees corresponding to each of the 8 segments in the circle to the left of the digital display, which represent common compass headings. For example, when the compass indicates anywhere from 338 to 22 degrees, the North segment will “switch off” (become clear) indicating that the binocular is pointed in a northerly direction.
