SUUNTO TANDEM, TWO PRECISION INSTRUMENTS IN ONE

Congratulations on your choice of the Suunto Tandem. The Suunto Tandem is all you
need for both slope/height measurements and compass bearings. It is a liquid-filled
precision compass and clinometer in one compact aluminum housing that is easy to
use and rugged enough to protect against impact, corrosion, and water. This top-
quality precision instrument combines precision accuracy with fast and easy one-
hand operation.
The pocket-size construction renders the Suunto Tandem most suitable for every type
of work. Its unique shape makes it comfortable to hold in your hand. The optics of the
Tandem can be adjusted to make the reading easier. The clinometer scale is in
degree and percent (0 – 90°, 0 – 150 %) while the compass scale is azimuth (0 –
360° with reverse scale). Both the clinometer and compass are graduated in 1° / 1 %
increments and each is individually calibrated. The two edges at 90 degrees angle
make the contact measurements possible, for example, when installing and
positioning a satellite antenna.

ADJUSTING OPTICS

The optics of the Tandem can be adjusted by turning the eye
piece with your fingers as shown in Figure 1. Adjust the eye
piece so that both the hairline and the scale are sharp and the
eye piece slot settles in a vertical position in the bearing
compass and in a horizontal position in the clinometer.
