Focussing
To focus on a subject with a high level of pre-
cision, it is important to set the lens of the
monocular using the following steps:
(a) Position the eyepiece of the monocular in
front of one eye and look through it Please
close the other eye
(b) Get your subject in sight
(c) Now turn the focussing ring (2) to the left
or the right until the subject is sharp
You are now using your MINOX monocular
as it should be used Of course, if you or your
subject moves, just re-focus
Note: Make sure, that you do not cover the
light well with your fingers

Distance measurement
How to work the scaled graticule
for rangefinding
To measure distance by a simple formula
when height or hength is known:
Distance (in km) =
Height of target object (m)
1)
Angular Elevation
of target object
Distance (in km) =
Length of target object (m)
2)
Azimuth
of target object
In practice, sizes (Height / Length) of observed
objects are known with reasonable accuracy
since they are often people, buildings and
vehicles
1)
Angular Elevation = Vertical Angle
2)
Azimuth = Horizontal Angle
