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 electronic 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 WORLDWIDECOMPASS:
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.
2.1 The compass function buttons:
You operate the WORLDWIDE-COMPASS by means of two function pushbuttons that are located directly next to the compass housing:
With the help of these two pushbuttons you can:
- Switch the compass on and off
- Find your bearings
- Temporarily store the value obtained
- Set the declination manually
- Select the representation of the compass:
- 360 degrees
- 6400 mil
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.
2.3 Individual compass settings menu
With this menu you can conveniently make the following settings for the compass:
- Declination correction (magnetic variation)
- Set the compass scale representation to “360 degrees” or “6400 mil”
2.3.1 Activating the compass settings menu
To do so, press the on/off button and the pause button simultaneously for 3 seconds to activate the settings menu.
You can now make the desired settings with the help of the on/off and the pause button. For this, study the structure of the compass settings menu on the adjacent page.
2.4 Overview of structure of the settings menu
Activating the menu Press both buttons for 3 seconds.
2.5 Compass display
Under the reticule plate you will see the compass display, which, as well as the bearings value, gives you further information: The current battery status (Fig. 1) and the set declination offset (Fig. 2).
Switch-over of the compass display from day to night mode is done automatically, and depends on ambient light conditions.
3. Strap attachment and floating strap
The ClicLoc system of the Commander Global (Fig. 3) allows the carrying strap to be connected very quickly and easily. The lock clip slides easily into the ClicLoc holder and clicks noticeably into the end position. The ergonomically optimised trigger depressions reliably prevent accidental release of the lock clips. The strap can be quickly and extremely conveniently released by briefly pressing down on the depressions (Fig. 4).
The floating strap prevents the binoculars sinking. The strap is fitted with reflecting elements from 3M that aid in finding the binoculars even in bad light conditions.
The padding is soft and permits fatigue-free carrying.
