Using the Suunto A - 10 SH Compass is a breeze. First, hold the compass level in your hand. The needle will point to the magnetic north. To navigate with a map, place the compass on the map and align the compass edges with the map's grid lines. The high - grade steel needle with jewel bearing gives accurate readings. Remember, this compass is balanced for the southern hemisphere, so it might not work as well in the northern hemisphere. When using the detachable snap - lock lanyard, you can easily take it off when you need to focus on the map. Keep the compass away from strong magnetic fields, as this can affect the needle's accuracy. For maintenance, wipe the compass with a soft, dry cloth regularly. The liquid - filled capsule is designed for stable operation, but avoid dropping the compass to prevent damage. With Suunto's limited lifetime warranty, you can have peace of mind knowing your compass is protected.
