Orienting the map

To better understand your surroundings, you should use your
compass to first turn your map in the right direction. This
ensures the geographic features around you are in the same
general direction as you see them on the map.
1. Hold your compass level and look at the red end of the
needle to see where north is.
2. Turn the map so that the northern upper edge is pointing
north.
3.

Adjust focus

1. Close one eye and look through optics.
2. Turn optics knob until numbers are clear.
NOTE: For best viewing, the oval-shaped aperture should be
aligned with the sighting line.
