3. Орнотуу
The AOFAR Military Compass AF-M2-B is designed for ease of use. Follow these steps for initial setup and preparation for use.
3.1. Таңгактан чыгаруу жана алгачкы текшерүү
- Компасты таңгагынан этияттык менен чыгарыңыз.
- Inspect the compass for any visible damage.
- Ensure all included components (Bag, Wrist Lanyard, Manual) are present.
3.2. Opening and Preparing the Compass
To prepare the compass for use, follow the sequence shown below:
3.1-сүрөт: This illustration demonstrates the three steps to open the AOFAR Military Compass. Begin with the compass fully closed (01), then partially open it (02), and finally extend it to its full operational position (03), revealing the internal components ready for navigation.
- Step 1 (Closed): The compass is in its compact, closed state, protecting the internal mechanisms.
- Step 2 (Partially Open): Gently lift the cover to partially open the compass.
- Step 3 (Fully Open): Continue opening until the sighting mirror and dial are fully exposed and the compass is ready for use. Ensure the needle lock is disengaged if present.
3.3. Attaching the Wrist Lanyard
Attach the provided wrist lanyard to the designated loop on the compass. This helps prevent accidental drops and loss during outdoor activities.
4. Иштөө нускамалары
The AOFAR Military Compass AF-M2-B is a versatile tool. Understanding its functions is crucial for accurate navigation.
4.1. Basic Compass Use (Taking a Bearing)
- Hold Level: Hold the compass level to allow the magnetic needle to swing freely. Use the bubble levels (round and long) to ensure proper leveling.
- Orient Yourself: Rotate the compass until the North (N) on the dial aligns with the magnetic North indicated by the needle.
- Sight Target: Use the sighting mirror, sighting hole, and sighting wire (lubber line) to aim at your desired target.
- Подшипникти окуу: Read the bearing (azimuth) from the compass dial at the lubber line. This is the direction to your target in degrees.
4.2. Using the Magnetic Declination Adjuster
Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic North and true North. For precise navigation, especially when using maps, adjusting for declination is important.
- Locate the magnetic declination regulator (refer to Figure 2.2).
- Using a small tool (e.g., a small screwdriver or the provided wrench if applicable), adjust the regulator to compensate for the local magnetic declination. Information on local declination can be found on topographic maps or online resources.
4.3. Using the Clinometer (Vertical Angle Measurement)
The clinometer measures vertical angles, useful for determining slopes or heights.
- Hold the compass on its side, aligning the base with the object whose vertical angle you wish to measure.
- Ensure the clinometer level is centered.
- Read the vertical angle from the clinometer scale. The compass features a wrench for the inclinometer, as shown in Figure 4.1.
4.1-сүрөт: This image displays a Camouflage Conversion Chart and specifically highlights the wrench used for the inclinometer, which is essential for adjusting and using the clinometer function of the compass.
4.4. Using Fluorescent Features
The compass features "grow-in-the-dark" elements on the dial and needle for improved visibility in low-light conditions. Expose the compass to light before use in dark environments to charge these fluorescent markings.
5. Техникалык тейлөө
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and accuracy of your AOFAR Military Compass AF-M2-B.
- Тазалоо: Wipe the compass with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or internal components.
- Сактагыч: Store the compass in its pouch in a cool, dry place away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., magnets, electronic devices, large metal objects) when not in use.
- Коргоо: Always engage the needle lock (if applicable) when transporting the compass to protect the delicate needle assembly.
- Ашыкча температурадан сактаныңыз: Do not expose the compass to extreme hot or cold temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can affect its accuracy and material integrity.
