Focusing The Aiming Mark And Diopter Compensation; Metre/Yard Switching; Range Estimation - Zeiss Victory 8x45 T RF Série Mode D'emploi

Instructions for use

Focusing the aiming mark and diopter compensation

Use the RANGE FINDER button (Fig. 1/6) to switch on the aiming mark
(Fig. 4/9) and hold down the button. Focus the aiming mark and the display
(Fig. 4/10) 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.

Metre/Yard switching

The range can be displayed either in metres or in yards, as desired. To change
the setting, use the SET button (Fig. 1/7). A short press of the SET button will
display the setting currently selected. An extended press of the button for over
3 seconds will cause the display to start to flash and the setting to then
change every time the SET button is pressed.
All settings preset for the EU represent range displays in metres; all settings
preset for the US represent range displays in yards. The selection of setting
EU 0 (display in metres) or US 0 (display in yards) is preferable for the basic
use. The other settings, EU 1 to EU 6 and US 1 to US 6, are described in the
chapter on the Ballistic Information System.

Range estimation

Press the RANGE FINDER button (Fig. 1/6) to switch on the aiming mark
(Fig. 4/9). The object to be measured is sighted using the aiming mark.
Release the RANGE FINDER button (Fig. 1/6) to start the measurement. After
a maximum of approx. 1 second, the estimated range is shown on the display
for approx. 3 seconds (Fig. 4/10).
Should it not be possible to take a measurement because the range has been
exceeded or because the reflection from the object is insufficient, this will be
shown by 4 dashes: "– – – –". A fresh measurement can be taken immediately.
The brightness of the display is automatically adjusted to the brightness of the
surroundings and therefore requires no manual adjustment. The range finder
switches off automatically when the display goes off.
