Description of optical device

MeoPro Optika LR binoculars have an integrated laser rangefinder. It sends pulses of infrared radiation that are invisible to the naked eye. The built-in computer calculates the distance based on the radiation reflected by the measured target. In addition to the distance measurement, they also have a built-in inclination indicator.

The binoculars are crafted from high-quality materials, and top-quality optical glass is used for all optical components. All devices are designed to be water-proof and dust-proof and are filled with an inert gas.

The MeoPro Optika I.R binocular laser rangefinder's laser radiation meets the requirements for class 1 safety according to standards

MeoPro Optika LR — Operation

EN

The device can measure and display the direct distance of the measured target and data indicating the incline (the angle between the binocular axis and the horizontal).

After a measurement is done, the display shows values that stay there until automatic shut-off (about 10 seconds) or until the next measurement. The display's brightness can be adjusted in the menu to ambient conditions.

Measurement

Briefly pressing the main button (2) turns the device on. Pressing the main button (2) again measures the distance and shows it on the display.

The distance can be measured in two ways:

1. Briefly pressing the main button (2)

This method is good for simple terrain, where the device can be aimed directly at the chosen target.

1. Pressing and holding the main button (2)

This method is good for complex terrain, where it is not fully clear which target's distance the device has aimed at. One of three modes can be chosen: Auto, Near Ranging and Far Ranging (see Device settings).

Device settings

Pressing and holding the menu button (4) (for about 2 seconds) puts the device into display settings mode. Pressing the button (4) repeatedly moves between the individual menu selections.

1. Choosing the measurement method

Three icons glow on the display, an 'Auto' sign, a flag (Near Ranging) and a deer (Far Ranging), and the currently chosen method flashes.

Auto — During measurement, the distance of the target within the aiming ring appears, and it changes according to how the target moves or which target is currently in the aiming mark.

Near Ranging – During measurement, the distance of the nearest target within the aiming ring appears and changes when a more distant target is aimed at.

Far Ranging - During measurement, the distance of the farthest target within the aiming ring appears and changes when a closer target is aimed at.

Pressing the main button (2) allows choosing the measurement method (the current method flashes). Pressing the menu button (4) saves the selected method and shows the next selection menu.

2. Distance measurement units

The display shows M (metres) and Y (yards) — the currently set unit flashes. Pressing the main button (2) allows choosing the unit setting (the selected unit flashes). Pressing the menu button (4) saves the selected unit and shows the next selection menu.

3. Incline data selection

The display shows <, V, H and OFF — the current setting flashes.

EN

< shows the angle in degrees.

V shows the height difference of the target in the units chosen in selection 2.

H shows the horizontal distance in the units chosen in selection 2.

OFF means the display is shut off, and after a measurement is done only the direct distance will remain on the display until automatic shut-off (about 10 seconds) or until the next measurement.

Pressing the main button (2) allows choosing the incline data (the current data flash). Pressing the menu button (4) saves the selected data and shows the next selection menu.

4. Display brightness

The display lights up the sign b1 R2 and flashes.

Pressing the main button (2) allows choosing the display brightness from 1-5 (bl R1 to bl R5). Pressing the menu button (4) saves the selected brightness and returns to measurement mode.

Low battery indicator

When the battery voltage drops below 1.5V, the display lights up the battery icon.

Replacing the battery

The MeoPro Optika LR 10×42 HD / MeoPro Optika LR 8×50 HD runs on a type CR2 3V battery.

Battery replacement procedure:

1. Unscrew the battery cover anti-clockwise using a coin or something similar
2. Insert the battery with the positive pole first.
3. Screw the battery cover back in clockwise.

Notes:

• Low temperatures may adversely affect battery performance. The binoculars should be held as close to the body as possible during cold weather.
• If the binoculars will not be used for an extended time, the battery should be removed.
• Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place.
  • The battery has enough power for about 1,500 measurements at 20°C.

"----" symbol appears instead of measurement result.	1. The object is further away than the maximum measurable distance.2. Measurement into the sky.3. Measurement under impaired conditions (fog, rain, etc.).	Choose a better object for the measurement.
Along with the measurement result, the display shows the dead battery icon.	Battery is almost dead. Change the battery.
Animal distance measurement is doesn't work, no icon appears.	Dead battery. Change the battery.
Unexpected data is displayed when measuring distant targets.	1. Small angular size of object.2. Inaccurate focusing caused by shaky hands.	1. Object must be in the middle of the aiming ring.2. Choose a better object for the measurement.3. Use support, e.g. tripod.

Maintenance and cleaning

Important!

1. Protect the binocular from falls and hard impact
2. Clean the glass only as recommended
3. Protect the optical surfaces with the caps

Meopta binoculars feature a robust dust-proof, water-proof design but, like any other optical-mechanical device, they require careful handling and protection of the optical surfaces against damage. When the binocular is not being used, its outer optical surfaces should be protected with the supplied covers. Dust deposits on the mechanical parts of the binocular should be removed with a soft cloth. Dust on the optical parts should be blown off or wiped off gently with an anti-static cloth supplied with the binocular. After using the binocular in rain, we recommend thorough drying with a soft cloth. Make sure to store the binocular in a dry, ventilated area. For storage in humid or tropical conditions we recommend placing the binocular in a case along with a moisture absorbing agent such as silica gel.

Optical cleaning kit

To keep your optical device in optimal condition, we recommend that a special Meopta cleaning kit be purchased; 2-in-1 brush, optical cloth, squeeze blower, cleaning fluid.

In the event of a complaint or defect, contact your dealer or the manufacturer directly — Meopta - opuka, s.r.o. For our product information, news and dealers visit www.meoptasportsoptics.com Thank you for your trust in the Meopta brand.
