Adjusting the binoculars

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II DSV should be adjusted to

your individual needs before use. Observe the follow-

ing steps for correct use.

Interpupillary distance adjustment

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II DSV has a folding bridge

that you can use to adjust the two eyepieces to the

distance between your eyes. Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II

DSV is properly adjusted to the interpupillary distance

when you can see one round full circle when you look

through your MINOX binoculars. Adjust your MINOX

binoculars until the two circles are superimposed to

form one full circle.

Focusing

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II DSV has an individual

eyepiece focusing system. The advantage of this

feature is that all observed objects within a range

from 20 meters to infinity can be seen as a pin sharp

image without having to readjust the focusing of your

binoculars to close or far away objects. The adjust

able range of the individual eyepieces is – 4 up to + 6

diopters. Proceed as follows to ensure optimum ad-

justment to your vision: Choose an observation object

at a distance of about 50 meters.

First close your right eye. Look through the left

eyepiece of your binoculars with your left eye.

Turn the left eyepiece ring in clockwise or counter-

clockwise direction until you see a sharp image. Now

close your left eye and adjust the right eyepiece in

the same way by turning the right eyepiece ring. Your

binocular is now adjusted to your individual vision.

Both eyepieces have a diopter scale. Remember your

individual diopter setting for the left and right eye-

piece or mark it with a permanent marker. In this way

you will be able to quickly readjust the binoculars to

your vision if, for example, another person has used

them and changed the settings.

Using the binoculars with

and without eyeglasses

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II DSV is fitted with folding

eyecups of flexible rubber. These can be used to adjust

the distance to your eye, depending on whether you

are wearing glasses or not. Those users not wearing

glasses leave the folding eyecups in extended position

(as purchased) when looking through the binoculars.

In this condition the pupil of your eye is at the

correct distance to the ocular lens. This adjustment
