Position Finding
Locator can be us ed for general direction finding, even wi thout a map or chart. Using a regional
topographical map or marine char t,
Locator will allow you to f ind your position on land or at sea
in coastal waters within sight of charted landmarks and designated aids to navigation.
A parallel rule, protractor or straight edge will also facilitate the process.
Follow the steps below to determine your position.
3. Without moving the compass,
glance down through the
lensatic magnifier and read the
bearing from the compass card.
4. Repeat the process for another
landmark or aid to navigation.
Try to choose one that is at least
30 degrees away from the first.
1. Open the cover until it is perpen
dicular to the compass card. Raise
the lensatic magnifier fully to its
stop. Bring the sighting slot to
your eye, holding the compass
level so the compass card is able
to rotate freely.
2. Align a charted landmark or aid
to navigation with the sighting
hairline and center the object in
the sighting slot.
5. Using a protractor or parallel ruler
and the compass rose printed on
the marine chart or topographical
map for the region, draw lines
through the landmark or aid to
navigation symbols on the chart
at the bearing angles read from
the compass. The intersection of
the lines designates your location.
Locator requires little care. Wipe off any accumulated
moisture or dust with a soft cloth or tissue. Avoid dropping
your Locator or subjecting it to shock , which could dislodge the compass card from it’s pivot.
Do not immerse in any liquid, or subject it to heavy spray or prolonged dampness.

Instructions
Ages 7 to Adult
EYE SPACING: The distance between eyes varies from person to person. The Hawk can be
adjusted to a variety of eye spacings. To set the eye spacing:
1. Hold the Hawk in the normal viewing position with the rubber eye cups nearest your eyes.
2. Grasp each barrel firmly and rotate them closer together or further apar t until you see
a single ocular field. Always reset your binoculars to this position before using.
FOCUS: To focus the Hawk, simply look through the binocular at a fixed point and turn the center
focus knob until the image in both eyes is sharp and in focus. You will need to adjust the focus knob
as you view subjects at var ying distances.
EYECUPS
: The Hawk is fitted with rubber eyecups designed to minimize extraneous external light.
If you wear glasses, roll down the eyecups. This will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lenses,
improving the field of view.
Care
If handled properly, your Hawk binocular will provide years of trouble-free service. Like any
fine optical instrument, the Hawk should be given sensible care.
LENSES: Blow briskly on the lenses to remove any dust or debris, or use a soft brush. To remove dirt
or fingerprints, breathe on the lenses to form a light mist and rub lightly in a circular motion with
photographic lens cleaning tissue. For a more thorough cleaning, dampen a lens cleaning tissue or
clean, soft cloth with photographic lens cleaning fluid and rub gently in a circular motion. Never
apply the fluid directly to the lens. Avoid excessive rubbing or cleaning with a coarse or dirty cloth
as it may scratch the lens and permanently deteriorate optical quality.
THINGS TO AVOID: Never attempt to clean the Hawk internally or tr y to take it apart. To do so
will disturb its optical alignment and void your warranty. Do not immerse the Hawk in any liquid.
Avoid exposure to prolonged dampness. Wipe off any accumulated moisture with a soft cloth
or tissue. Avoid dropping your Hawk or subjecting it to shock or violent impact, which could jar
the optical system into misalignment. Never use the Hawk to look at the sun or any bright
or concentrated source of light.
