Using the binoculars with
and without eyeglasses
Your MINOX 75x44 RAPID is fitted with twist-up eye-
cups, which can be used to adjust the distance to your
eye, depending on whether you are wearing glasses
or not Users not wearing glasses should twist the
eyecups up to the fully extended position This posi-
tion provides the ideal distance between the eye and
ocular lens and also ensures comfortable positioning
of the binoculars, thus minimising stray light For
those wearing glasses, the eyecups must be twisted
all the way down to be able to see the entire field of
view without vignetting

tical lens cloth and lens cleaner solution We recom-
mend the MINOX Optical Cleaning Kit (order number
