ATTACHING THE CARRYING STRAP AND
THE EYEPIECE PROTECTIVE CAP
(See also Figure 1a/1b on the inside rear cover)
Note that the carrying strap has two loops:
– a shorter loop for attaching to the eyelet on the
monocular
– a longer loop for attaching the eyepiece protective cap
ADJUSTING THE EYE CUP/
USING WITH AND WITHOUT GLASSES
The eyepiece eye cup (1) is adjustable� It should be
extended (1a) for viewing without and retracted for view-
ing with glasses (1b)�
ADJUSTING THE FOCUS
The focus is adjusted for objects at different distances
using the focusing ring (3)�
USING THE CLOSE UP LENS
The LEICA MONOVID 8x20 can also be used to provide a
magnified view of objects that are at close range�
To do this, the close up lens (5) supplied is screwed into
the inner thread (5a) on the monocular lens (clockwise)�
Depending on the position of the focusing ring, this
results in a viewing distance of around 25–30cm with an
identical magnification�

CARE/CLEANING
Your LEICA MONOVID 8x20 does not require any
special care� Coarse dirt particles, such as sand, should
be removed with a hair pencil or blown off� Fingerprints
etc� on the lens and the eyepiece lenses can be wiped off
with a soft, clean leather or lint free cloth� The best way
to remove spots of water on the lens and eyepiece lenses
is with a cloth moistened with water�
Caution:
When wiping heavily soiled lens surfaces, do not exert
excessive force� Although the coating is highly abrasion
resistant, it can be damaged by sand or salt crystals�
