NOMAD Orientation
Congratulations!
You have purchased a high quality Brunton electronic compass. Even though the
Brunton NOMAD
is made rugged and durable to withstand the rigors associated with
TM
outdoor use, care must be taken to assure long life of your instrument. Avoid impacts,
dropping, extreme temperatures and store the NOMAD out of the elements.
NOMAD Orientation

Orientation provides a short description of important NOMAD parts and display. A
detailed description of its operation is provided throughout the manual.
The buttons perform multiple tasks either by pressing or by holding. When instructed
to "press" a button, press the button for less than 1 second. When instructed to "hold"
a button, press and hold for at least 2 seconds unless instructed otherwise.
1.1 Battery Insertion

3. Replace battery cover. NOMAD will begin a reset sequence,
then power on automatically.
