ADJUSTING YOUR BINOCULARS

Your binoculars use an invisible laser to measure distances. The measurement is made by calculating the time needed for the laser to reach the targeted object and return to the binoculars. The accuracy of your measurement depends on climatic and environmental conditions and can also be influenced by the colour, surface texture, size and structure of the object to be measured. The following points are important to ensure an optimal measurement: clear view, medium brightness, strong colour of the measured object, flat measurement angles, and an even surface structure on the object. The measuring range is reduced by the following: high humidity, strong sunlight, dark colours of the object to be measured, large angles and uneven surfaces on the object.

Adjusting your eyecups

To ensure that people wearing glasses also have an optimal field of view, MINOX binoculars are equipped with rotating eyecups. The tunable and lockable eyecups are used for setting the correct distance between your eye and the surface of the eyepiece lens. Depending on your personal comfort, the preferred setting can be made to suit eyeglass wearers and even those who do not wear glasses.

For use without glasses

Those who do not wear glasses should turn the eyecups on both oculars, all the way out to the left (counterclockwise) until they are locked into position. The binoculars are now set at the correct distance to the eyes.

Use with glasses

If you wear glasses, leave the rotating eyecups on both oculars at the original position as they were when you purchased them, or turn the oculars all the way to the right until they stop turning. Like this, you can see the entire field of view without the annoying vignetting on the edge.

The right distance between the eyes

Look through the oculars of your binoculars and adjust the angle of the hinged tubes until you have a single circular image.

Inserting or replacing the battery

Open the battery compartment by turning the cover with a tool or a coin to the left (counterclockwise). Insert a CR2 battery with the positive end into the shaft. The negative pole is now towards the battery cover. Then carefully screw the cover back on (clockwise) as far as it will go. Always pay attention to use only a CR2 battery. If you do not use the binoculars for a longer period of time, remove the battery to prevent leakage.

Batterie Warning

The CR2 battery has enough power for about 4,000 measurements made at an average temperature of 20^ Celsius. If the battery charge is lower than 20% , the battery symbol will blink three times after activating the display. You can continue using the binoculars, but you should replace the battery as soon as possible.

Attaching a tripod

For a shudder-free image, we recommend using a tripod, especially with binoculars with higher magnifications. The MINOX tripod adapter is available as an optional accessory for this purpose.

Remove the screw cap on the bottom of the binoculars and attach the MINOX tripod adapter into the tripod socket. Keep the screw cap in a safe place and reattach it after removing the tripod adapter.

The correct diopter settings for the display

Activate the display by pressing the measuring button. Now turn the diopter compensation to the left or right until you have acquired the desired setting and until you can see the display sharply.

Focusing

For the best possible image sharpness, you must adjust the optics of the binoculars to match your individual vision. To do this, please proceed as follows:

1. First, look at a stationary object in the distance. With the left eye closed, turn the focusing knob until the object in view has become perfectly sharp. The display and the object are now in perfect focus.

2. Next, look at the same object in the distance with the right eye closed and turn the dropper adjustment ring on the left eyepiece until the object is perfectly sharp.

3. Your MINOX binoculars are now set to the individual vision for both eyes.
4. When observing objects at various distances, you will have to refocus accordingly. Simply use the focus adjustment knob to obtain a clear and sharp image.

THE MENU NAVIGATION OF YOUR RANGEFINDER

Activate the display

Briefly press the right button on the binoculars. The display is now visible. After switching the device off, the last display setting will be saved. The display will automatically deactivate after 10 seconds. The menu items can be selected by pressing the measuring button (default: right). To confirm your selection, al

ways press the menu button (default: left). The menu will then automatically move to the next menu item.

Menu mode

To activate the menu mode, press the menu button for about 3 seconds. Here you can change your settings. You can exit the menu by pressing the button again for a hit longer than 3 seconds, or simply wait for 10 seconds after the last push of any button.

In this setting, the distance in the direct line of sight to the object is indicated in the upper part of the display. The angle in relation to the corrected distance measurement (equivalent horizontal distance) is indicated in the lower part of the display.

Button configuration

Default setting: Measurement button right The function of the two control buttons on your binoculars can be swapped. This increases your operating convenience if you are left or right handed. The assignment of the buttons can be changed by moving the circle in the display to the right or left. The side on which the circle is located, represents the side of the measuring button.

Scan mode

With this function you can perform continuous measurements. Measurements are triggered every 1% of a second. You can activate the scan mode by continuously pressing the measuring button while measuring the distance. After 3 seconds, scanning is activated and all functions are constantly updated according

52355233

to the display settings. Upon releasing the measuring button, the device will automatically return to the normal measuring functions. This can be helpful in determining the distance to moving objects.

Battery indicator

The battery indicator will flash if the battery voltage drops below 2.4 Volts. This is an indication that you should change the battery soon. If the battery voltage drops below 2.3 Volts, the device will automatically switch off.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

To provide as much protection as possible for your MINOX binoculars, it is recommended to use the carrying case when storing your binoculars.

Cleaning the binoculars

Keep your MINOX binoculars clean and dry. Avoid exposing the binoculars to extreme heat. Remove dust and foreign particles on the housing with a soft moist cloth. If your binoculars have been used at a lake or have been exposed to salt water, we recommend that you rinse them with freshwater. Over a period of time, sea salt can damage the objective lenses and optical quality of your binoculars.

Cleaning the objective and ocular lenses

Contamination of the lenses by foreign bodies like sand, dust, grease, drops of water or fingerprints reduce the image quality of your MINOX binoculars (Image sharpness and contrast). Foreign bodies should be carefully removed using a very soft brush before cleaning the lenses.

Heavier contamination or fingerprints on the lenses can be removed with an optical cleaning cloth and special lenses cleaned

We recommend using the MINOX optical cleaning set (order no. 80405-463). You can also obtain other suitable optical cleaning agents from specialist retailers.

SERIAL NUMBER

The serial number can be found on the underside of the battery compartment cover, after you have removed it.
