The liquid-filled capsule is sealed and waterproof, making the entire unit highly resistant to rain and submersion.
They provide visible light for up to 6 hours after being fully charged by an external light source.
Check for magnetic interference from metal objects, electronics, or other compasses nearby; remove the interference source.
Ensure the compass has been exposed to a bright light source for several minutes to 'charge' the phosphorescent material.
To begin using your compass, ensure you have set the local magnetic declination using the adjustment feature on the capsule. The compass is fully compatible with the Silva 1-2-3 system, making it an ideal upgrade for those already familiar with standard Silva map-and-compass techniques. For care, keep the compass away from strong magnets or high-voltage lines, as these can interfere with the needle's accuracy. After use in wet or dirty conditions, rinse the baseplate with fresh water and wipe with a soft cloth. Store it in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches on the magnifying lens or the baseplate surface.
