Look through the binoculars with the rub- ber eyecups resting lightly against both eyes. If you wear glasses, fold the eyecups back toward the binoculars.

Adjust the interpupillary distance (the distance between the two eyepieces) by slowly moving the barrels together or apart around the central hinge until you see a single, perfectly round image. Noting the distance shown on the interpupillary scale lets you quickly re- store the binoculars to the desired position the next time you use them. Note: Never use excessive force when adjusting the interpupillary distance. Adjusting Focus

If you are far- or near-sighted in one or both eyes, look through the binoculars with each eye and adjust diopter until distant objects are in clear focus.

If you are neither far- nor near-sighted in either eye, distant objects should appear in focus when the diopter adjustment rings for both eyepieces are set to 0.

Adjust focus for each eye separately as the working distance (the distance to the object being observed) changes. Attaching Tripod

Before mounting the binoculars on a tripod, remove the cap from the tripod attachment screw by rotating it to the left.

Attach a tripod adapter to the tripod attachment screw hole and mount the assembly on the tripod.EN-9 ENGLISH Using the Compass (7X50 WPC-XL only) The left side of the visual eld for the compass-equipped 7X50 WPC-XL incorporates a scale like that shown in the il- lustration. The upper portion is used to determine the dis- tance to or size of an object, while the bearing to the object is shown in the lower portion. The scale uses a unit known as a “mil”, which is the angle between the ends of object one meter long viewed at a distance of 1000 meters. Each incre- ment is equal to 5 mils.

Direction 90 = east 180 = south 270 = west 360 = north Reading the Scale Measuring Distance In order to measure distances, it is necessary to know the size of the object. Distance = Object size × 1000 Scale reading Example: Object size: 10 m Scale reading: 50 mils Distance A = 10 ÷ 50 × 1000 = 200 m Calculating Object Size In order to measure size, it is necessary to know the distance to the object. Object size = Distance × Scale reading

360EN-10ENGLISH Calculating Object Direction First, read the number displayed when looking in the direction of the bow, then the number when looking in the direction of the object; this gives the direction of travel in relation to the object. (Keep the binoculars horizontal and adjust the ob- ject to the vertical scale). Example: When looking in direction of bow: 210° When looking at buoy: 240° Direction of travel: 30° in relation to the buoy Note: The binoculars may fail to measure the heading correctly while tilted. 240° 30° 210° 210EN-11 ENGLISH Using the Built-in Compass Light The 7X50 WPC-XL features a compass light. When using the compass at before dawn, at dusk, or af- ter dark, press the button as shown by the arrow in the illustration. The compass light will turn on so that you can see the compass while the but- ton is pressed and turn o when you release the button. If the light is too dim or does not turn on when you press the button, replace the battery. If the light still does not turn on, consult your re- tailer, as this may indicate a loose connection. Replacing the Battery

Open the battery-chamber cover by rotat- ing it counterclockwise using a coin or the like.

Insert two (LR43) batteries with the “+” sides facing the battery-chamber cover.

After inserting the battery, replace the bat- tery-chamber cover and rotate it clockwise to latch it.

• Battery type: LR43 (×2) The following battery is compatible with it. 186, D186A, RW84, V12GA, L1142, GP186, AG12, G12AEN-12ENGLISH Maintenance and Storage Cleaning the Lenses Dirt and ngerprints on the surface of the lenses diminish visibility considerably, and, in the event that they are “baked on” by sunlight and left for days without treatment, can become permanent. When the lenses are soiled, remove dust with a soft, dry brush, and wipe dirt and ngerprints o with a small amount of alco- hol soaked into a soft, clean cloth. Wipe using a circular motion, from the center outwards. Cleaning the Body If the outer surface of the binocular becomes soiled or wet, wipe with a dry cloth, be sure the binoculars are completely dry before replacing them in the case. When the binoculars are used in a salt-air/ocean environment, they should be rinsed in fresh water before being stowed away. Storage The binocular can be used in temperatures between -20 °C and +50 °C. However, never leave the binocular in particularly hot or cold places, such as cars, summer or winter. When not using the binocular for any considerable length of time, store it in a cool dry place. Other Precautions for Use Do not store in a location with drastic temperature irregularities.

• Store in a well ventilated location, avoiding high temperature & high moisture locations.

• Do not store near an electronic device that heats up. It may cause the product to fail.

• Remove dirt and dust from the lens with a low powered air compression de- vice, and wipe gently with a cleaning cloth.DE-1 DEUTSCH Vor der Inbetriebnahme
