CELESTRON ® CAVALRY BINOCULARS AND MONOCULAR Thank you for purchasing a Celestron Cavalry binocular/monocular. We trust this binocular/ monocular will provide you with years of enjoyment and faithful service. Please read the instructions carefully before using your binocular/monocular to ensure proper use and care.
WARNING: Viewing the Sun may cause permanent eye damage. Do not view the Sun with your binoculars/monocular or even with the naked eye. ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) The interpupillary distance, or the distance between the pupils, varies from person to person. The binocular must be correctly aligned (adjusted) to the distance between your pupils to achieve a single, clear image.
SETTING THE DIOPTER / FOCUSING Models 71420, 71424, and 71426 To ensure a crisp, sharp image the focusing system of the binocular must be set to compensate for any differences in your eyesight. This is achieved by setting the diopter (located on the right eyepiece) before use. To set the binocular to your eyesight follow the instructions below. 1. View an object in the distance through the binocular. 2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand or the objective lens cap. 3.
Model 71422 The Cavalry 7x50 utilizes an individual focus system which requires you to focus each eyepiece to ensure a crisp, sharp image. This is achieved by setting the diopter (located on each eyepiece) before use. Once the binocular is adjusted to your eyesight at a distance of approximately 100 yards, the binocular will be in focus without additional adjustment to an infinite distance (for distances closer than 100 yards readjustment may be necessary).
Model 71215 The focus of the Cavalry 8x42 monocular is adjusted by simply turning the focus ring located in front of the eyepiece. Focus Ring Tip: Eyeglasses worn for nearsightedness should be worn when using a binocular/monocular as you may not be able to obtain focus at infinity without them. Fig. 5 EYECUP ADJUSTMENT The Cavalry models 71420 and 71424 feature twist-up eyecups and models 71422, 71426 and 71215 feature foldable rubber eyecups to accommodate both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers.
TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY The Cavalry binoculars feature built-in threads that allow the binocular to be attached to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter. These threads can be accessed by unscrewing the logo plate found on the front of the hinge (Fig. 7). To attach the binocular to a tripod, thread the adapter into the binocular and attach the other end of the adapter to a photographic tripod. Mounting the binocular on a tripod allows for added stability and comfort during prolonged viewing. Fig.
USING THE RETICLE Cavalry models 71420, 71422 and 71215 have an integrated reticle that can be used to estimate size and distance. The reticle is divided into 10mil increments with 5mil marks between each 10mil increment. Each 10mil increment is indicated using single digit numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). For finer ranging ability the last 5mils of the reticle are divided into 1mil and 0.5mil increments.
Target Size (Inches) x 27.8 = Range (Yards) You range a 6-foot tall man (2 yards) that is 20mils tall and you want to know the distance to him. Measured Mils Target Size (Meters) x 1000 For example: = Range (Meters) Measured Mils 2 (Yards) x 1000 = 100 Yards 20Mils USING THE CALCULATOR DIAL (MODEL 71422 ONLY) The Calculator Dial located on the left objective barrel can be used to determine distance quickly and easily without using the formulas above.
CALCULATING SIZE (HEIGHT AND WIDTH) Using the simple formulas below, you can effectively determine the size of a target if the distance to the target is known. Range (Yards) x Measured Mils = Target size (Yards) 1000 Fig. 10 Range (Yards) x Measured Mils = Target size (Inches) For example: = Target size (Meters) You are 300 meters away from a tank that measures 15 miles tall and 20mils wide and you want to know the size of the tank. 27.
INTEGRATED COMPASS Models 71420, 71215 Models 71420 and 71215 have a built in 6400mil analog compass. The compass reading is aligned with the vertical line of the reticle and each hash mark of the compass represents 20 mils. The compass will only indicate direction to or from an object but not relative position. To determine position you need a map or chart and a protractor. When an object lies north from you, the compass will read 64 (6400mils).
Model 71422 Model 71422 has a built-in LCD screen that displays three modes: GPS, digital compass, and level. The unit is powered by one CR123A battery (included). INSTALLING THE BATTERY The battery included in the case with your binocular powers the electronics that run the GPS, digital compass, and other functions. To install the battery, unscrew the battery cap cover and remove the brass screw using a coin or screwdriver. Slide the battery into the opening with the positive terminal facing you.
POWER BUTTON Press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds to power the unit on and off. If the power button is pressed quickly while the unit is on, a red padlock icon will appear to the left of the battery indicator, indicating the screen lock has been activated. This freezes the screen at the moment of activating the screen lock and prevents the mode from being changed. To deactivate the screen lock, quickly press the power button again; the red padlock icon will disappear.
GPS MODE When the device is in GPS mode, a signal icon designated by four vertical bars of increasing height will appear in the upper left hand corner of the LCD screen. While a signal is being acquired, the icon will flash red. Once a signal is acquired the icon will stop flashing and turn blue. GPS mode provides latitude and longitude coordinates as well as altitude readings. Please see the disclaimer at the end of this manual regarding the accuracy of readings.
COMPASS MODE In compass mode, the screen displays a digital compass and readings (in both degrees and mils) for the bearing that the objective lenses are facing. A red stationary arrow points in the direction you are facing when looking through the binoculars while a circle containing the readings N/S/E/W rotates as the binocular is moved (the red N will always point North). The bearing that the red arrow points to is displayed in degrees and mils on the LCD screen.
CARE AND STORAGE Your Celestron binocular/monocular will provide you years of dependable service if it is cared for and stored properly. 1. Protect the binocular/monocular from impact and do not force any of the moving parts beyond their limits. 4. When storing for an extended period of time, place the binocular/monocular in a plastic bag or airtight container with a desiccant. 2. Protect the optics of your binocular/ monocular by putting on all lens caps when not in use. 5.
CLEANING Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to maintaining the optical integrity of your binocular/ monocular. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of light transmitted through the binocular/monocular and your overall viewing experience. 1.
