    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. 1) it becomes right side up (erect) and changed from right to left, to left to right.

    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.

    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. Though reticle appearance may differ from one model to another as described in 3.2, the description below is valid for all models.
  • Page 13: Measuring Vertical Angle Using The Reticle

    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 14 For targets taller than the reticle scale, perform measurement in steps in the same way as it is described for the horizontal angle measurement. Fig. 6.
  • Page 15: 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 16 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 17: 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...

    7. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE The binoculars are precision optical instruments that should be carefully handled and properly maintained to keep them in a good working order. Clean the lenses after each use with special optical cloth. Never wipe the lenses with fingers; grease may damage the optics coating.
