The monocular is available in black or in white, with different graticules. This manual should help to get familiar with the monocular and get the most pleasure and enjoyment out of it. We wish every satisfaction with your new MINOX product! Adjustments Important note for wearers of glasses For users who wear glasses while using the monocular, turn the eyecup (1) all the way to the right. Those who do not wear glasses, turn the eyecup all the way to the left. This provides for a perfect eye distance to the ocular lens, enabling a full field of view with- out vignetting.

Please close the other eye. b) Get your subject in sight. c) Now turn the focussing ring (2) to the left or the right until the subject is sharp. You are now using your MINOX monocular as it should be used. Of course, if you or your subject moves, just re-focus.

Note: Make sure, that you do not cover the light well with your fingers. Distance measurement How to work the scaled graticule for rangefinding To measure distance by a simple formula when height or hength is known: Distance (in km) = Height of target object (m) Angular Elevation

of target object Distance (in km) = Length of target object (m) Azimuth

How to Measure the Angular Elevation by the Vertical Scale Value on the MIL Reticle In the case of the Angular Elevation

of the target object within the range of the vertical scale value (70 mils), as in the figure showed, first put the vertical scale Value ‚0‘ at the foot of the ligh- thouse, then we could find the Angular Elevation of the lighthouse at 60 MILs easily and directly. In the case of the Angular Elevation of the target object beyond the range of the Vertical Scale Value (70 Mils), we should deter- mine it in stages.

Angular measurement between two lines, when one of them is surface line and another is the line which connects a point on the surface to the peak of the object is know as Angular Elevation of that object with reference to the particular point on the surface.

As in the figure showed, the azimuth of the ship at 60 MILs is determined by the horizontal scale value easily and directly same way as the angular elevation measurement. How to Measure Height or Length of a target object when the distance is known Based on the way of Angular Elevation measurement or azimuth measurement, we can determine the height or length of the target object by a simple formula as the following: Height (m) = Distance (km) x Angular Elevation respectively Length (m) = Distance (km) x Azimuth

How to Work the Compass When using a compass, the direction is read in degrees. As the Figure 4 showed, north would be an azimuth of 360°, east would be an azimuth of 90°, south would be an azimuth of 180°and west would be an azimuth of 270°.

Viewing direction: The South (180°) Note: One graduation represents 1 degree.
