Page 9: Reticle
The light from the object or target you are looking at enters the binoculars through the objective lens system (1, Fig. 1). Due to the objective lens, the image at this point is turned upside down. However, as the image passes through the prism system, (known as the erective prisms) (2, Fig. - Page 10 Reticle may have an addition scale composed of two lines (B, Fig.2). Fig. 2...

Page 14: Operation Instructions
6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 6.1 Interpupillary distance adjustment Prior to use you may like to adjust the binoculars to the distance between your eyes (interpupillary distance). Holding the binoculars in both hands rotate its halves until you see one round image. Note: The image may not be clear at this step. -

the image by rotating eyepiece adjustment ring of the left eyepiece. Repeat the procedure for the other eye. Note: You may like to remember your dioptre settings to set them every time you use the binoculars. 6.3 Measuring horizontal angle using the reticle An M22 reticle built into these binoculars enables measuring height, distance and size of a target, as well as angle between two close targets. -
Page 16: Measuring Vertical Angle Using The Reticle
Fig. 4. When the angle between two targets is larger than the angle measuring range (100 mils), it can be measured in several steps. The horizontal angle of cruiser shown in Fig. 5, is 130 mils (60+70=130). 6.4 Measuring vertical angle using the reticle Fig. - Page 17 Vertical angle measurement is similar to horizontal angle measuring. When height of the target is smaller than the reticle scale, its height can be obtained in one measurement. The height of the beacon, shown in Fig. 6, is 65 mils. For targets taller than the reticle scale, perform measurement in steps in the same way as it is described for the horizontal angle measurement.

Page 18: Using The Reticle To Calculate Distance
6.5 Using the reticle to calculate distance To determine the distance to the target use the formula: D = H/K, where D – distance to target in km, H – estimated height of the target in m, K – vertical angle of the target in mil. First, estimate the height (or width) of the target, then measure target’s horizontal (vertical) angle and calculate the distance. - Page 19 Fig. 7 Place the lower edge of the target at the horizontal line on the reticle. The reading of the scale at the point where target’s 2 m level touches the scale is the distance in meters. Assuming that vehicle on the Fig. 7 is 2 m high; the distance to it is 550m.

Page 20: Calculating Target's Size Using Angle Readings
6.7 Calculating target's size using angle readings To calculate height and width user will need to estimate the distance to the target and measure its horizontal and vertical angles. Then using the formula for distance measurement one can calculate target’s height: H=DxK, where K is vertical angle in mils, D is distance in meters and... -
Page 21: Compass (Mc Model Only)
6.8 Compass (MC model only) The AN 7x50MC model has a built-in analogue compass, which is visible via the eyepiece (A, Fig.2). This scale can be illuminated via a projector window (8, Fig.3). If natural illumination is not sufficient pressing the illuminator button (7, Fig.3) will lightup the scale from inside. -
