ADJUSTING YOUR BINOCULARS

Your binoculars use an invisible laser to measure distances. The
measurement is made by calculating the time needed for the
laser to reach the targeted object and return to the binoculars.
The accuracy of your measurement depends on climatic and
environmental conditions and can also be influenced by the
colour, surface texture, size and structure of the object to be
measured. The following points are important to ensure an
optimal measurement: clear view, medium brightness, strong
colour of the measured object, flat measurement angles, and
an even surface structure on the object. The measuring range is
reduced by the following: high humidity, strong sunlight, dark
colours of the object to be measured, large angles and uneven
surfaces on the object.
Adjusting your eyecups
To ensure that people wearing glasses also have an optimal
field of view, MINOX binoculars are equipped with rotating eye-
cups. The turnable and lockable eyecups are used for setting
the correct distance between your eye and the surface of the
eyepiece lens. Depending on your personal comfort, the pre-
ferred setting can be made to suit eyeglass wearers and even
those who do not wear glasses.
For use without glasses
Those who do not wear glasses should turn the eyecups on
both oculars all the way out to the left (counterclockwise) until
they are locked into position. The binoculars are now set at the
correct distance to the eyes.
Use with glasses
If you wear glasses, leave the rotating eyecups on both oculars
at the original position as they were when you purchased them,
or turn the oculars all the way to the right until they stop turn-
ing. Like this, you can see the entire field of view without the
annoying vignetting on the edge.
The right distance between the eyes
Look through the oculars of your binoculars and adjust the an-
gle of the hinged tubes until you have a single circular image.
