AX8808 03 Issued in March, 2019
INSTRUCTIONS
1 Turn the eyepoint height adjustment knob to move the movable part
up and down.
The eyepoint is raised/lowered by turning the knob clockwise/
counterclockwise.
TIP The eyepoint height (difference from the height without the
eyepoint adjuster) can be checked by the scale a located
on the right side. If you take note of your optimum eyepoint
height, it is convenient to read just the height easily next time.
· The eyepoint height should be set within the range from 30
NOTE
to 150 mm of the scale a . If you use it outside of the range
(close to both ends of the height adjustment mechanism),
the observation image may be moved remarkably. Also, if
the movable part is pushed to the stoppers at both ends of
the height adjustment mechanism with a strong force, the
eyepoint height adjustment knob may rattle.
· Do not apply excessive force to the bellows b covering
between the movable part and the fixed part of the eyepoint
adjuster. Otherwise the bellows may be deformed.
