INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Aligning the eyecups, Viewing with and without glasses
When viewing without glasses, use the binoculars with the eyecups extended. To do
this, turn the eyecups (Fig. 4) to the left (anti-clockwise) and upwards to the top
click stop position (Illustration A).
The eyecup can be locked in four positions – at the bottom and top and in two in-
termediate positions. These adjustment options allow the distance of the eye from
the exit pupil (to eyepiece) to be varied according to the specific requirements of
each user.
Note: If the eyecup is turned too far to the left when in the extended position, it can
loosen. For more information, see "Cleaning the eyecup". By turning to the right you
get back to the various click stop positions.
When viewing with glasses, turn the eyecup down to the right (clockwise) until it
locks in the lowest click stop position (Illustration B).
Cleaning and replacing the eyecups
To replace the eyecups or for cleaning, they can be completely screwed off of the
binoculars. Turn the eyecups out as shown in Fig. 4 to the top click stop posi-
tion and turn one more thread in the same direction until the eyecup is completely
screwed out.
After cleaning, or replacing the eyecup, turn it to the right (clockwise) completely on
the eyepiece. (Also refer to setting for those who wear glasses). Using a slight jerk
to the right the thread of the eyepiece clicks into the lowest setting. Finally, you can
again set your desired distance between the eye and eyepiece using the click stops.
Adjusting the interpupillary distance
Bend the two barrels toward each other around the central axis, until the distance of
the two eyepieces corresponds to the distance between your eyes. This will provide
the optimum image for your eyes. The optimum eye spacing is achieved when a
circular image is seen when viewing through the binoculars with both eyes.
Focusing
The binoculars have a focusing wheel (Fig. 1 / 4) and a diopter adjustment wheel
(Fig. 1 / 3).
To adjust the diopter, close your right eye and focus the image in the left barrel us-
ing the centre focusing wheel (Fig. 1 / 4). Then close your left eye and, if necessary,
adjust the focus in the right barrel using the diopter adjustment wheel (Fig. 1 / 3).
The diopter adjustment features a scale with the signs "+" and "–", and has an index
point as a reference point. Note your personal setting, then you can quickly set your
own diopter setting on any binoculars.
