Ridding the click feeling of the optical path switching
C-TT Trinocular Tube T and C-TF Trinocular Tube F have a "NO CLICK" switch on their tube attaching surface. Slide this
switch in the direction of the arrow with the tip of a pointed tool to disable clicking for the optical path switching lever.
Set the switch to this position if you need to eliminate the slight vibrations resulting from the clicking action.
In addition, NI-TT Quadrocular Tilting Tube has a "NO CLICK" hexagon socket screw on its tube attaching surface.
(Tool size 4). Rotate the screw toward the direction indicated by an arrow while holding down the screw removes a click
of the knob when switching of the optical path. Set the switch to this position if you need to eliminate the slight
vibrations resulting from the clicking action.
