ADJUSTABLE DECLINATION
CORRECTION (KB-14D): PICK A SUITABLE
TARGET
Keep both eyes open and aim with the
compass so that the fixed sighting line (the
one without E/W indication) meets the target
(when viewing through the lens). Please note
that the fixed sighting line always indicates the
bearing without hour declination correction.
We recommend a non-magnetic support to be
used during the adjustment procedure if
declination correction needs to be accurate.
Add the local declination to your bearing
(easterly declination (+) or westerly
declination (-). If, for instance, the declination
is 20° east, then the corrected reading is 270°
+ 20° = 290°.
Adjust the maneuverable sighting line (the one
with E/W indication) with the adjusting key
attached to the compass lanyard so that,
when aiming through the maneuverable
sighting line at the same target, you get a
corrected reading. In this case the adjustable
sighting line is set from its centre position
towards E (= easterly declination) or W (=
westerly declination).
