ATTACHING THE CARRYING STRAP AND THE PROTECTIVE CAPS
The carrying strap
(Fig. 4/15)
and the eyepiece cap
(Fig. 4/16)
are
attached as shown in the illustrations. Note: Feed the carrying strap only
once through the eyelet on the eyepiece cap. Depending on personal
preference, use the carrying strap to connect the eyepiece cap either on
both sides or on one side only. The eyepiece cap is held onto the eyecups by
a catch. Before using the binoculars, remove the eyepiece cap with the index
finger. After observation, replace the eyepiece cap in order to protect the
eyepieces. The protective lens covers
(Fig. 5/17)
are fitted on the binoculars
as shown.
OBSERVATION WITH AND WITHOUT EYEGLASSES
When observing without glasses, use the equipment with the eyecup
extended. To do this, rotate the eyecup
(Fig. 6/1)
counterclockwise until
it locks in the highest position. The eyecup can be
set
in four positions –
in the upper and lower settings, plus in two intermediate positions. This
adjustment option allows variation of the distance from the eye to the exit
pupil and thus individual adjustment for each user. When observing
with
glasses, rotate the eyecup clockwise until it stops in the most downward
position
(Fig. 6)
.
CLEANING AND REPLACING THE EYECUPS
For cleaning purposes, the eyecups can be removed. To do so, turn the
eyecups counterclockwise past the uppermost set position, and continue to
turn until the eyecup is loosened for removal.
After proper cleaning of the eyecup and lenses, ensure there is no debris
(e.g., sand, dirt, or grime) on the threads of the eyecup housing and ocular
housing. Replace the eyecups by turning them onto the ocular housing in a
clockwise direction. Be careful not to cross-thread the fine threads. Continue
to turn in a clockwise direction to the lowest setting position, and apply
a small amount of additional torque to secure the eyecup to the ocular
housing. The eyecups are ready for regular adjustments at this time.

Adjusting the interpupilary distance
By folding the halves of the binoculars about the central axis, the eye relief can
be adjusted such that a circular image is formed when observing with both eyes
(Fig. 7)
.
Note:
Depending on the set of the interpupilary distance, the aiming mark and
display may be slightly angled.
Focusing the aiming mark and diopter compensation
Use the range finder button
(Fig. 1/6)
to switch on the aiming mark
(Fig. 2/9)
and
hold down the button. Focus the aiming mark and the display by turning the
right
hand diopter compensation
(Fig. 1/4)
to the left or the right. Then carefully use
the central focusing
(Fig. 1/2)
for sharp focusing of the image in the right hand
binocular tube.
Next, use the
left
hand diopter compensation
(Fig. 1/3)
for sharp focusing on the
same object of the image in the left hand binocular tube. The values that are set can
be read from the “+” or “–” scale on the back of the binoculars.
Menu settings in the rangefinder
Press the SET button for approx. two seconds to load the menu of your ZEISS Victory
RF. You can then switch between the individual menu options by pressing the SET

The ZEISS Victory RF has 11 brightness curves. By pressing the range finding button,
you can select one of the 11 different brightness curves (curve 1 darkest setting
possibility; curve 11 lightest setting possibility).
In addition to this, your ZEISS Victory RF also has automatic brightness adjustment
for each of the selected brightness curves.
Simply release the range finding button
(Fig. 1/6)
when it reaches the appropriate
setting for you. The brightness curve displayed most recently will then be saved. To
check, you can always display the saved settings in the menu.

Observation with and without glasses
When observing
without
glasses, use the equipment with the eye cup extended.
To do this, turn the eye cup
(Fig. 6/1)
upwards and to the left (anticlockwise) until it
locks in the highest position.
The eye cup can be
locked
in four positions – in the upper and lower plus in two
intermediate positions. This adjustment option allows variation of the distance from
the eye to the exit pupil and thus individual adjustment for each user.
When observing
with
glasses, turn the eye cup downwards and to the right
(clockwise) until it locks in the lowest position
(Fig. 6)
.
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. 6
to the top click stop position
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. 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.

PREPARATION
Inserting/Removing the battery
The laser range finder is powered by a type CR 2 lithium battery.
To insert and replace the battery, unscrew the battery cover
(Fig. 3/8)
– using a coin
or similar – by turning anticlockwise. Insert the battery with the positive end forward
(according to the symbol in the battery compartment).
Then screw the battery cover back on by turning clockwise.
At 20 °C, a new battery will last for over 2,500 measurements.
Depending on the conditions of use, however, low temperatures or frequent use of
the scan mode for example may result in the battery life being considerably shorter.
Low battery is indicated by the appearance of the battery symbol on the display.
If the equipment will be unused for a long period, remove the battery in order to
prevent damage by leakage from the battery. Use only high quality brand batteries.
