X-active 8x44 X-active 10x4416 1716 17 English FOCUSING For a pin-sharp image, definition you must adjust the optics of the binoculars to your individual vision. To do this, please proceed as follows:

1. First, look at an object far away. With the right eye closed,

turn the focusing knob until the object in view has become perfectly sharp.

2. Next, look at the same object in the distance with the left

eye closed and turn the diopter adjustment ring on the right eyepiece until the object is perfectly sharp.

3. Your MINOX binoculars are now set to the individual vision

4. To observe objects at various distances, use the focus adjust-

ment knob to obtain a clear and sharp image. Attention: Do not use binoculars to look into the sun, this could lead to irreparable eye damage.

For a shudder-free image, we recommend using a tripod, espe- cially with binoculars with a higher magnification. The MINOX tripod adapter (order no. 80405832) is available as an optional accessory for this purpose. Remove the screw cap (6) on the bottom of the binoculars and attach the MINOX tripod adapter into the screw socket. Keep the screw cap (6) in a safe place and reattach it after removing the tripod adapter.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

To provide as much protection as possible for your MINOX product, it is strongly recommended to use the carrying case when storing your binoculars. Carefully remove dirt and dust from the housing with a soft moist cloth. If your binoculars have been exposed to saltwater, thoroughly rinse them o with warm water and dry carefully as saltwater can be aggressive to the lenses, detrimentally aect- ing their optical quality. Contamination of the lenses by foreign bodies like sand, dust, grease, waterdrops or fingerprints reduce the image quality of your MINOX binoculars. Foreign bodies should be carefully removed using a very soft brush before cleaning the lenses. To avoid damage to the lens surfaces, it is strongly advisable to use specially developed optical cleaning materials to remove fingerprints, grease etc. from the lenses. We recommend using the MINOX optical cleaning set (order nr. 80405463). SERIAL NUMBER Turn the left eyecup counterclockwise to find the serial number on the underside of the ocular. It is important that you make a note of this number for the event of loss.18 1918 19 English CUSTOMER SERVICE If your binoculars need servicing, please contact our customer service at the following address: Germany MINOX GmbH (Werk 2) Technischer Service Wilhelm-Loh-Str. 1 35578 Wetzlar
