Security Information
Pleasereadthesesafetyinstructionscarefullyand
follow them while using the product.
Under no circumstances should you use your
binoculars or other opt ical equipment to look
into the sun or bright or laser-based light sources.
This can lead to irreparable damage to the eye,
since the opt ics act as a magnifying glass.
Keep your binoculars out of the reach of children.
Also keep all attachments out of the reach of
children. In particular, small parts (danger of
swallowing) and the carrying strap (danger of
strangling) must be stored safely and carefully.
Please do not touch the metallic surfaces when
the product has been heated by the sun or is cold
as a result of exposure to cold atmospheres.
After use, always use the protective covers
supplied to avoid damage that may be caused by
the magnifying glass effect when exposed to
sunlight.

Theproductusesan invisible laserbeam formeasurement
and measures the time the laser beam takes to reach the
object and back.
Laser measurement depends on climatic and
environmental condit ions, as weil as the color, surface
texture, size and shape of the target to be measured.
Favorable conditions for range measurements are: Clear
visibility, low brightness (twilight), bright object color,
perpendicular angle and a homogeneous structure.
Range measurement is limited in conditions of haze/fog,
high brightness (sun), dark object color, sharp angle or
inhomogeneous structure (e.g. bush).

Attaching the carrying strap
lt is possible to attach the protective eyepiece cap to the
carrying strap.
Securing the lens cap
The lens cap can be secured to the strap connector with
the retaining cord.
Open the fastener and thread the upper part of the
retaining cord through the lanyard connection, then
secure the lens cap with the lower part of the cord.

Adjusting the eyecups
The rotating eyecups have three locking positions for
different applications. The detents allow the distance
between the eye and the eyepiece lens to be adjusted.
Thus,the distance viewing distance can be ergonomically
adjusted according to personal preference. A distinction
is made between use with and withoutglasses.
Use without glasses
When using without glasses, extend the eyecups as far as
they will go by turning them counterclockwise.
43

Use with glasses
lf you wear glasses while using the binoculars, retract the
eyecups as far as they will go by turning them clockwise.
Adjusting the correct interpupillary
distance
The binoculars have a mechanism to adjust the
interpup illary distance. The interpupillary distance is the
distance between the two pupils. The correct
