How do I rotate the large dial? I can rotate the small knurled sighting knob. Where can I find better directions on how to operate this compass?Thanks

Mine spins freely, in fact I need to oil it a bit as it's dry. I suggest you place a few drops of a light oil where the ring meets the body of the compass, let it sit overnight and then try to rotate it. I note that there are screws on the bottom holding the unit together, and you might need to open it up to access the guts. In any event, you need to lube the ring since both the ring and the body are aluminum and I can feel the galling one gets when you have to bits of Al moving against one another.

Unless you have a different compass than I do it should move freely.the compass should float to level by watching bubble.the chrome outer ring with lines should move. I'm not advanced with it yet to do the side sighting. I hope this helps.

Directions were stuck up in the lid on mine. Look closely up there.The small set screw on the lower part of the left side is a lock screw. Loosen it before making any windage or elevation changes and tighten it when you are done. Clicks are 1 MOA. Make sure you get the reticle setting clicked solidly in place too. It will mess up the zero if you do not have it in the center.

So easy! There is a little screw on the back. The key comes with in. Check the declination of you region on the internet: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination and set it in your compass.

You just twist that large dial on the side. If you look closely it's numbered 0-10 on the edge. The first four or five clicks are for night vision and the last half are for normal daytime use. The dot is so bright on the last two clicks though that you could use it to shoot at the sun for target practice.

Hi. . the compass, as well as the time section and the altimeter/depth gauge barometer all stay in their mode until you press the main button (center) that switches between these three modes. The backlight will however go off at the interval you set. So the compass stays in the compass mode until you change it by pressing the button. The compass has proven pretty accurate in my experience with this watch.

You have a magnetic dampened compass it does not require liquid to operate properly. Open the cover on the compass and pull the rear sight up. When the rear sight is in the down position it locks the floating dial in place. If this information does not help you send the compass back for replacement or refund.

You need to lay the watch face down on a soft surface (so you don't scratch the face) and point the 12 toward Colorado. So the direction depends on where you live. It will automatically set the time overnight. You need to do this every time you take it off to maintain the proper settings. My father has one and it works great! He lives in Florida so point the watch North West. Hope this helps

In aiding... of course. It designates your Azimuth... Have you ever used a compass before ? It's a spin dial to tell you degree's.

Mine rotates fine. I would use my left thumb and middle finger (easier compared to using my index finger)- cupped into a 'c' like shape, and place them on the meter ring. With my right hand gripping the lower part of the bottle, I would rotate at opposite directions. The meter indicator would 'click' with some mild resistance at every number. That being said, I seldom use the meter function. It's a cool feature to keep track of how many times water is refilled.

You simply rotate it with your finger. Each rotation sort of "locks" in place, but it is pretty easy to rotate to the next step.

Turn the knob to *lock* the ball head. Then turn it. It is designed to allow rotation while unlocked. Of course, be sure to turn it the right way, or you'll just make it tighter.

Ok, I don't have the instructions in front of me, but there might be a clip or something that needs to come off before removing the dial. I really don't remember. However, I do remember that it was hard to come off. I suggest taking two dinner knives and putting one under each side of the dial so you can leverage each side up simultaneously. The truth is Intermatic has failed in the design of the latest version of this item. Thank God you can return it if necessary. Good Luck. I think Amazon should stop selling it.Tom

I do not recall that there were much in the way of instructions with the compass. But I have found instruction on the internet. Example &lt;http://lensaticcompass.blogspot.com&gt;. Hope this helps.

As it was said any times in the customer's reviews (including mine), the adaptor does not fit perfectly and you have to do a few tries before getting used to it. The main point is to put the lens aperture control finger on the good side of the adaptor aperture control pin to allow the aperture control dial to rotate. If it does not rotate, you are on the wrong side. Hope this will help. Richard.

Do you mean continuous autofocus? If so, reference page 41 of users guide. "Press AF c-s-m button" (bottom button on left side of viewer screeen) and "rotate command dial" (top right)

Does anyone have contact information for Mountain? I just bought it and neither the calibration sheet or directions have Mountain's contact info.Thanks!

You turn it on by plugging it in, if it sits too long just pick it up and tilt it. Dial is on the front panel, just turn to desired setting.
