AREAS OF USE
Leica Noctivid binoculars come with a hermetically
sealed, nitrogen-filled magnesium housing. You
don’t have to worry about your binoculars getting
wet when using it outdoors. Leica Noctivid
binoculars are waterproof to a depth of 5m. The
nitrogen filling prevents condensation forming on
the internal optics.
ATTACHING CARRYING STRAP
AND EYEPIECE CAP
Note:
If you want to attach the eyepiece cap to the
carrying strap, you will have to do that at the time
of attaching the carrying strap to the binoculars.
MOUNTING THE LENS CAPS
You need to push the adapter rings over the lenses
of the binoculars before you can fit the lens caps.
Make sure that the recesses in the adapters are
pointing towards the body and touch the lower
bridge of the binoculars. The adapter rings should
lie flush against the front of the rubber coating. You
can now attach the actual lens caps by pushing
their elongated tabs through the matching opening
on the adapter rings. The caps click into the
housing of the lenses and cover them.

ADJUSTING THE EYECUPS
The eyecups 1are adjusted by turning them and will
lock securely in the selected position. They can be
removed to thoroughly clean the eyepieces.
For use with eyeglasses, the eyecups should be
turned in clockwise to the end position (Figure A).
Turn them counter-clockwise for viewing without
eyeglasses. There are three setting options to adjust
to your pupil positions (Figures B, C).
C D
If the eyepieces are heavily soiled, we recommend
removing the eyecups for cleaning (Figure D).
The eyecups have a loss protection lock. To unlock,
turn them counter-clockwise a little further until
they pass their fully extended position (Figure C)
and move back down a little. The eyecups can then
be removed (Figure D).

ADJUSTING THE INTEROCULAR DISTANCE
Adjust the interocular distance by moving the
binoculars on the pivot axis. Ensure that the
right-hand and left-hand fields of view merge into
one circular image.

FOCUSING/DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
With the Leica Noctivid binoculars, focusing on
objects at varying distances is done using the
central focusing unit (Figure A).
The diopter setting feature to compensate
differences between right and left eyesight is
integrated into this unit.
In order to set the diopter, focus first on a specific
object using your left eye only. Remember that
object and do not change your position.

Next, pull the central focusing unit’s wheel up
slightly (Figure B).
Then focus on the same object using your right eye
only.
Finally, push the wheel back down which locks your
diopter setting. This setting is only necessary once
per user.
SCALE READING
You can see your personal diopter setting in the
scale window on top of the central focusing unit.
The value shown on the scale, i.e. the increment
between two long lines represents approximately
one diopter difference between the left and right
eye.
Should the binoculars be used by several persons
who change the setting, readjusting a setting is
simple using the initially determined scale value.

CARE/CLEANING
Your Leica Noctivid binoculars require no special
care. Coarse dirt particles like sand can be removed
with a soft brush or simply blown off. Fingerprints,
etc. on lenses and eyepieces can be removed with a
soft, clean chamois or lint-free cloth. In case of
severe dirt on the device, e.g. on the eyecups, the
binoculars can be rinsed under running water. Salt
water should also be rinsed away. Water stains on
the lenses and eyepieces are best removed with a
moist cloth.
Any moisture inside the focusing unit (visible in the
scale window) will dry faster with the central
focusing unit’s wheel 3unlocked.
Do not use alcohol or chemical cleaning solutions
on the binoculars.
Important:
Do not apply pressure when wiping heavily soiled
lens surfaces. They have a highly scratch-resistant
coating, but sand or salt crystals on the lens may
still causeo permanent damage.
