You have just acquired the Geonaute C300 base plate
compass, and we thank you for your confidence in us.
This instrument will enable you to orient yourself
outdoors and determine a position or a course on a map.
Its ergonomic design guarantees excellent handling
comfort, and its small size means it slips easily into your
backpack.

any defects linked to the material or manufacture of the compass for a period of
2 years from the date of purchase. Please keep your receipt as proof of

distributor).
• The guarantee does not cover cracked or broken cases where signs of a blow
are evident.
USE/PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Description of normal operating conditions: The C300 compass is designed
to determine an angular direction (also called BEARING or AZIMUTH) in
relation to magnetic north (NM). It features several scales for measuring
distances on maps.
Restrictions on use/precautions for use
•
Compasses must always be used HORIZONTALLY. It is very important to
avoid friction against the dial's pivot point by holding the instrument with a
maximum of 5° from a horizontal position.
•
This compass detects the Earth's magnetic field. It is very important to keep
this instrument away from any sources of electro magnetic disturbance (high
voltage, emission of waves, e.g. telephone, cell phone, radio, or television; and
objects containing ferrous metals).
•
This compass detects MAGNETIC North (NM), which is not in exactly the
same place as geographic north (NG). The difference (the declination) depends
on the user's position on the globe. It is given in the following table:

If the declination is West (W), subtract the indicated value from the value you
have just read. If the declination is East (E), add the variation to the value you
have just read.The position of magnetic north (NM) also changes with time, but
these variations are negligible over a time span of a few years.
•
A compass is a precision instrument. Do not drop it.
•
The operation of the compass varies with the temperature. The oil that slows
the needle may congeal or liquefy depending on the ambient temperature. In
order to preserve its performance capabilities, protect the compass from
extreme temperatures (e.g. by keeping it under a garment).
•
The compass requires a few seconds to stabilize.Do not take the reading into
account until the needle has stabilized completely.
•
To use this compass, you need to have a map. Opt for a map with a scale
available on the compass. For optimal use, also bring along a wooden pencil
and an eraser.
USING THE COMPASS
4 operating modes are available for different orienteering needs :
1 You know where you are and you have located your destination on the map (the
angular direction in relation to the north (N))?
2 You know where you are and you have taken the bearing (angular direction) to
follow…
3 -
4 You do not know where you are…
