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.
