That means you will need to keep your instructions to find the other functions that are not marked on the device. A sight or line or set of guides is needed to get a reasonable bearing. These buttons are so tiny and so close together that you must look at the device to locate the one you want to use. Without one, you can not obtain a good bearing.
I received my Brunton Nomad V2 Digital Compass today. Finally, the instructions reference these four buttons as S1, S2, S3, S4, however there are no such markings on the device.This nearly $50 device falls short on practical use. Some of the button functions are marked on the bevel of the device, but not all are. I bought it as a tool for determining the bearing to a mark in sailboat racing.
2) There are FOUR TINY BUTTONS that operate the device, namely stop/setup, mode, bearing and start. With a few minor design changes, it could be very useful. Two key problems with this product: 1) No sight. Very strange that a DIGITAL COMPASS that even has a setting for the DECLINATION ANGLE -- HAS NO SIGHT.
This compass needs to be returned. Unfortunately one the the compasses could not be calibrated correctly and was off by at least 5 degrees. The compasses were shipped and received promptly. Four of the five worked perfectly.
