The 5x30mm Hawk is a compact binocular with fully

is an easy one step process using the common center focus
knob. Generous eye relief and roll-down eye cups make
viewing easier for those who wear corrective lenses. The
Hawk is extremely portable and lightweight, fitting easily
into a coat pocket or backpack.
The Hawk’s precision construction ensures performance
under the most demanding conditions. With reasonable
care, it will give you years of pleasure. This information

Position Finding
Locator can be used for general direction finding, even without a map or chart. Using a regional
topographical map or marine chart,
Locator will allow you to find 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.
