Scharfeinstellung
The distance between the eyes differs
between individuals. To achieve optimal
centring of the eye and eyepiece axis look
through the binoculars and change the an-
gle of the centre axis by folding or expand-
ing until you have a clear field of view.
Adjusting the focus
Your binoculars have single eyepiece ad-
justment (1) means. To focus look at an ob-
ject approximately 100 meters away. Close
only your left eye and keep turning the
right eyepiece setting ring 1 until the object
looked at is in sharp focus. Then close only
your right eye and turn the left eyepiece
setting 1 until the object you are looking at
is again in sharp focus. The binoculars are
now precisely adjusted to your eyesight.
The single eyepiece setting (1) is designed
to give you better perspective. When
switching between objects of varying dis-
tance the focus need only be readjusted if
the change in distance is really major.
Reversing the eye-piece cup (3)
Note for spectacles wearers. The rubber
eyepiece cups (2) are reversed when using
spectacles to look through the binoculars.
The maximum field of view of the binocu
-
lars can thus be exploited to the full.
Compass (3)
Your binoculars are equipped with a com-
pass. If you look through them you will see
a scale in degrees (0 - 360) at the lower edge
of your field of view. If 360 is exactly at
the centre of the scale you are looking direct-
ly to the north (if 180, to the south).
Compass lighting
In darkness you can turn on the compass
lighting by lightly depressing the On/Off
button (5). The lighting stays on as long
as the button is depressed.
Changing the batteries (Fig. 2)
Remove the plastic battery compartment
cover (4) by raising it gently. Open the
compartment (4) by turning the latch
with a coin and then change the batter-
ies (GP 186). Both batteries must have
the positive (+) pole at the top when
inserted in the compartment.
Using the reticule (8)
Distance calculation
To determine the distance of an object
you must first know its size. Look at it and
measure the image height on the reticule.
In illustration (8) a 12 m high building
reaches to 3.9 on the scale. Now turn
the scale ring until the white triangle (A)
points to 3.9 on the upper scale. The lower
scale on the ring is the object size. In this
example the number 12 (B) stands for the
known height of the tower and is exactly
below the number 300 (C) on the distance
scale. The tower is hence 300 m from you.
Determining size
You must know the distance it is away
from you before you can determine the
size of an object. In this example you‘re
400 m from the object. Look at it and
measure the image height on the reticule.
In illustration (8) a 12 m high building
reaches to 3.9 on the vertical scale. Now
turn the scale ring until the white triangle
(A) points to 3.9 on the upper scale. Over
400 (D) on the distance scale is the num-
ber 16 (E) on the object size scale. The
building height is therefore 16 m.
