Cleaning the objective lenses
and eyepiece lenses
Contamination such as dust, foreign particles and
grease from fingerprints impairs the imaging quality
(sharpness and contrast) of your MINOX binoculars.
Remove minor soiling and particles on the lenses us-
ing a soft brush. More severe soiling or fingerprints
on the lens surfaces can be removed using and optical
lens cloth and lens cleaner solution. We recommend
the MINOX Optical Cleaning Kit (order number 69731)
for cleaning your binoculars. Other suitable optical
cleaning solutions can also be purchased from spe-
cialist dealers.
Serial number
On the left eyepiece of your MINOX binoculars you
will find its individual serial number. It is important
to make a record of this number and keep it in a safe
place in case of any loss.
Helpful advice on the use
of your binoculars
Never expose your binoculars to severe heat for pro-
longed periods. This can cause damage to the armor-
ing or to the eyecups.
Avoid places such as the dashboard or the rear shelf
in motor vehicles for storing binoculars. These places
are not suitable as exposure to the sun directly behind
glass causes extremely high temperatures that can
damage your binoculars.
Always use the provided neck strap and avoid damage
caused by dropping the binoculars.
Never walk away when the binoculars are mounted
on a tripod.
Always remove the binoculars before moving out of
the tripod range.
Keep your binoculars in the provided case in a dry
place and at a moderate temperature if you are not
using them for any length of time.
(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
also ensures a steady positioning of the binoculars
against the eye and minimizes stray light. When
looking through your MINOX BN 7x50 II wear-
ing glasses you must fold down the rubber
eyecups to enable you to see the entire field of view
right into the edges.
Warning: Do not use your MINOX binoculars to look
at the sun or other bright sources of light to prevent
any eye injury.
Attachment to a tripod mount
To ensure steady and fatigue-free viewing you can
mount your MINOX BN 7x50 II on a tripod using the
tripod thread integrated in the body. For this pur-
pose we recommend the MINOX tripod mount (order
number 69727) that is available from our range of
accessories.
To use the tripod mount first remove the cap screw (4)
from the tripod thread on the underside of the MINOX
BN 7x50 II. Connect the MINOX tripod mount to the
thread turning it in clockwise direction.
Keep the cap screw (4) in a safe place and screw it
back into the tripod thread after removing the tripod
mount.
General care recommendations
Follow the following care recommendations to ensure
maximum enjoyment and excellent viewing for many
years with your MINOX binoculars.
Binocular case included in scope of delivery
To protect your binoculars when not in use or when
traveling we recommend that you keep them in the
provided neoprene case.
Cleaning your binoculars
Keep your binoculars clean and dry. Avoid exposure
to excessive heat. Remove dust and foreign particles
from the body using a soft damp cloth. If you are using
your binoculars at sea or near salt water we strongly
recommend rinsing them off with fresh water after
use. Over time, sea salt can damage the objective
lenses and the optical quality of your binoculars.
