AREAS OF USE

MOUNTING THE LENS CAPS

EN

Leica Noctivid binoculars come with a hermetically sealed, nitrogen-filled magnesium housing. You don't have to worry about your binoculars getting wet when using it outdoors. Leica Noctivid binoculars are waterproof to a depth of 5 m. The nitrogen filling prevents condensation forming on the internal optics.
ATTACHING CARRYING STRAP AND EYEPIECE CAP

You need to push the adapter rings over the lenses of the binoculars before you can fit the lens caps. Make sure that the recesses in the adapters are pointing towards the body and touch the lower bridge of the binoculars. The adapter rings should lie flush against the front of the rubber coating. You can now attach the actual lens caps by pushing their elongated tabs through the matching opening on the adapter rings. The caps click into the housing of the lenses and cover them.

Note: If you want to attach the eyepiece cap to the carrying strap, you will have to do that at the time of attaching the carrying strap to the binoculars.

ADJUSTING THE EYECUPS
The eyecups 1 are adjusted by turning them and will lock securely in the selected position. They can be removed to thoroughly clean the eyepieces. For use with eyeglasses, the eyecups should be turned in clockwise to the end position (Figure A). Turn them counter-clockwise for viewing without eyeglasses. There are three setting options to adjust to your pupil positions (Figures B, C).

If the eyepieces are heavily soiled, we recommend removing the eyecups for cleaning (Figure D). The eyecups have a loss protection lock. To unlock, turn them counter-clockwise a little further until they pass their fully extended position (Figure C) and move back down a little. The eyecups can then be removed (Figure D).

EN A

ADJUSTING THE INTEROCULAR DISTANCE
Adjust the interocular distance by moving the binoculars on the pivot axis. Ensure that the right-hand and left-hand fields of view merge into one circular image.

FOCUSING/DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
With the Leica Noctivid binoculars, focusing on objects at varying distances is done using the central focusing unit (Figure A). The diopter setting feature to compensate differences between right and left eyesight is integrated into this unit. In order to set the diopter, focus first on a specific object using your left eye only. Remember that object and do not change your position.

17

EN B

Next, pull the central focusing unit's wheel up slightly (Figure B). Then focus on the same object using your right eye only. Finally, push the wheel back down which locks your diopter setting. This setting is only necessary once per user.

SCALE READING
You can see your personal diopter setting in the scale window on top of the central focusing unit. The value shown on the scale, i.e. the increment between two long lines represents approximately one diopter difference between the left and right eye. Should the binoculars be used by several persons who change the setting, readjusting a setting is simple using the initially determined scale value.
