look through the binoculars and change the angle of the
centre axis by folding or expanding until you have a clear
field of view.
Adjusting the focus
Your binoculars have single eyepiece adjustment
A
means. To
focus look at an object 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 binocu-
lars are now precisely adjusted to your eyesight.
The single eyepiece setting
A
is designed to give you
better perspective. When switching between objects of
varying distance the focus need only be readjusted if the
change in distance is really major.
Reversing the eye-piece cup
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 binoculars
can thus be exploited to the full.
Compass
3
Your binoculars are equipped with a compass. If you look
through them you will see a scale in degrees (350...360...)
at the lower edge of your field of view. If 360 is exactly at
the centre of the scale you are looking directly 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 batteries (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

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
