Position Finding
The 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 nd 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.

1. Open the cover until it is perpendicular to the compass card. Raise the lensatic 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.
3. Without moving the compass, glance down through the lensatic 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.
5. 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 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.

Robin Binocular
The 5x30mm Hawk is a compact binocular with fully coated prisms and lenses for crisp, bright images. Focusing is an easy one-step process using the common center focus knob. Generous eye relief and roll-down eyecups make viewing easier for those who wear corrective lenses. The Hawk is extremely portable and lightweight, 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 will help you achieve the most from your HU-530 Hawk Binocular by explaining how to use and maintain it.

EYE SPACING: The distance between eyes varies from person to person. The Hawk can be adjusted to a variety of eye spacings. To set the eye spacing:

1. Hold the Hawk in the normal viewing position with the rubber eyecups nearest your eyes.
2. Grasp each barrel firmly and rotate them closer together or further apart until you see a single ocular field. Always reset your binoculars to this position before using them.

FOCUS: To focus the Hawk, simply look through the binocular at a fixed point and turn the center focus knob until the image in both eyes is sharp and in focus. You will need to adjust the focus knob as you view subjects at varying distances.
EVECUPS: The Hawk is fitted with rubber eyecups designed to minimize extraneous external light. If you wear glasses, roll down the eyecups. This will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lenses, improving the field of view.
Care
If handled properly, your Hawk binocular will provide years of trouble-free service. Like any fine optical instrument, the Hawk should be given sensible care.
LENSES: Blow briskly on the lenses to remove any dust or debris, or use a soft brush. To remove dirt or fingerprints, breathe on the lenses to form a light mist and rub lightly in a circular motion with photographic lens cleaning tissue. For a more thorough cleaning, dampen a lens cleaning tissue or clean, soft cloth with photographic lens cleaning fluid and rub gently in a circular motion. Never apply the fluid directly to the lens. Avoid excessive rubbing or cleaning with a coarse or dirty cloth as it may scratch the lens and permanently deteriorate optical quality.
THINGS TO AVOID: Never attempt to clean the Hawk internally or try to take it apart. To do so will disturb its optical alignment and void your warranty. Do not immerse the Hawk in any liquid. Avoid exposure to prolonged dampness. Wipe off any accumulated moisture with a soft cloth or tissue. Avoid dropping your Hawk or subjecting it to shock or violent impact, which could jar the optical system into misalignment. Never use the Hawk to look at the sun or any bright
or concentrated source of light.
