Adjusting the Binoculars
Interpupillary Distance: Adjust the angle of the center axis by folding or expanding the binoculars until you achieve a clear field of view.
Focusing: Use the single eyepiece adjustment (1). Look at an object ~100 meters away. Close your left eye and adjust the right eyepiece until sharp. Then close your right eye and adjust the left eyepiece until sharp. This setting requires minimal readjustment for varying distances.
Eyecups for Spectacle Wearers: Reverse the rubber eyecups (2) to maximize the field of view when wearing glasses.
Compass Features
Compass (3): View the 0-360° scale. 360° indicates North, 180° indicates South.
Compass Lighting: Lightly press the ON/OFF button (5) to activate illumination for use in darkness. The light stays on while the button is pressed.
Battery Replacement
Open the battery compartment (4) with a coin. Replace batteries (GP 186), ensuring the positive (+) pole is facing upwards. ✔️
Using the Reticle (8)
The reticle includes scales for distance calculation and size determination.
Distance Calculation:
- Know the object's size.
- Aim at the object and measure its image height on the reticle.
- Example: A 12m high building measures 3.9 on the scale.
- Rotate the scale ring until the white triangle (A) aligns with 3.9 on the upper scale.
- The lower scale on the ring shows object size. The known height (12m, B) aligns with 300 on the distance scale (C).
- Conclusion: The object is 300 meters away.
Determining Size:
- Know the object's distance.
- Example: You are 400 meters away.
- Aim at the object and measure its image height on the reticle (e.g., 3.9 for a 12m building).
- Rotate the scale ring until the white triangle (A) aligns with 3.9.
- The distance scale (D) at 400 aligns with the object size scale (E) at 16.
- Conclusion: The building height is 16 meters.
Cleaning
- Remove coarse dust with a brush.
- Use a soft, fluff-free cloth for further cleaning.
- For stubborn residue, dampen the cloth with standard optical cleaning fluid (available from photography shops). Clean without excessive pressure.
