Display and record compass bearings
The compass in your MINOX BN 7x50 DC/DCM is ca-
pable of recording up to three compass bearings. To do
this, activate the compass using the On / Off button (10).
If you do not see the „CMP" display, turn the mode dial
(11) until you see either the center mark or the hair-line
graticule displayed (figs. 4 or 5).
You can alternate between the two display options by
pressing the navigation buttons (3). To save a reading,
simply push the memory button (8) while looking in the
direction that you wish to record. You can save up to
three readings, after which you will see „FULL" in the
display after pressing the memory button for the fourth
time. To record new bearings, you must first delete at
least one of the previously saved values. To view the
previously recorded bearings, press the On / Off button
(10) while in the compass mode. You will now see either
CMP-1, CMP-2 or CMP-3 and the recorded bearing. You
can alternate from position to position by pushing the
navigation buttons (3) up or down.
