DE
Pos. A: Initial position without specta-
cles: Twist out the eyecups anticlock-
wise to the full extent.
Pos. B: Initial position with spectacles:
Twist in the eyecups clockwise until
they stop.
Pos. C and D: Alternative positions or
interim adjustment stages for spectac-
le wearers and non-spectacle wearers.
3.2. Adjusting the interpupillary distance
To see a single round image, adjust the separation between
the two halves of the binoculars until the irritating shadows
disappear.
3.3. Use with equal acuity of both eyes
a. Pull out the left and right dioptric adjustment ring and turn
it until the long bar on the dioptric scale is in line with the
small triangle underneath the ring.
Never look directly at the sun with
the binoculars! This will damage your
eyes!
Never look through the binoculars
when walking, you could encounter
obstacles!
Please protect your binoculars from
jolts and jars.
Repairs should be carried out by
authorized service facilities only.
3. Getting started
The battery is already inserted into the battery compartment.
The binoculars are ready for immediate use. Before switching
on the instrument, please make the following settings:
3.1. Adjusting the twist-in eyecups
In principle, you can choose between four different setting
positions that provide varying distances between your eye
and the lens. You can set the optimal distance according to
your personal preference.

b. Once you have finished, push the dioptric adjustment rings
back in.
3.4. Dioptric compensation
To achieve optimal image quality, it is necessary to correct
any varying visual acuity between the left and right eye.
1. First pull out the left dioptric adjustment ring.
2. Turn the dioptric adjustment ring anticlockwise until it
stops.
3. Hold down the mode button for 4 seconds. This takes you
to the dioptric compensation adjustment mode (display
remains illuminated for 30 seconds). To exit this mode
early, press the measurement button or mode button
again.
4. Now look through the left eyepiece at the display with your
left eye and slowly turn the dioptric adjustment ring clock-
wise until the display comes into clear focus.
5. Once you have finished, push the dioptric adjustment ring
back in.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with the right dioptric adjustment
ring to optimally adjust the focus for the right eye (aiming
mark).
NOTE:
Setting the twist-in eyecups and eye relief precisely helps to
ensure maximum viewing comfort for the display (see chapter
3.1. and 3.2.).
TIP:
The aiming mark and range indication can be set comfortably
even without a target. Place the binoculars on a table upright
or look at a nearby dark object. Adjusting each dioptric
position separately allows you to achieve optimum sharpness
because your eye is not distracted by a target under obser-
vation.
3.5. Adjusting the focus
To adjust your object focus from the
shortest focusing distance (see Tech-
nical Data Sheet) to infinity, simply
turn the focusing wheel. In the infinity
position, the wide bar on the focusing
wheel points upward.

4. Operation
4.1. Single measurement
Briefly pressing the measurement
button causes the aiming mark to
appear. Once the button is released,
the measured range is shown on the
display. For optical safety reasons,
another measurement cannot be
taken until after approx. 2 seconds have elapsed. During this
safety pause, a continuous series of minus symbols appears
on the display. The measurement is in progress.
4.2. Scan Mode
Scan Mode is used to continually
measure the range of moving tar-
gets. The instrument switches to Scan
Mode automatically if the measure-
ment button is held down for over 3
seconds. In Scan Mode, measure-
ments will be taken continually until the measurement button
is released (max. 120 seconds). The maximum range of Scan
Mode is approx. 1,000 m.
If the measurement button is not pressed for 5 seconds, the
display turns off automatically.

5.3. Brightness setting display (P1, P4)
In P1 – individual brightness setting – first select the appro-
priate display brightness level for you. There are 5 brightness
levels to choose from.
In P4, turn the automatic brightness adjustment on or off.
- On: The binocular automatically adjusts the display bright-
ness based on the brightness level you have chosen.
- Off: The display is constantly illuminated at the brightness
level you have chosen.
5.4. Angle program (P2)
For each distance measured, you can also display the angle
of the binoculars to the object under observation. This angu-
lar position means that the corrected shooting distance can
also be displayed.
Adjusting the measured angle
On the lower row of the display, you can show either:
• Theangle
• Ornoadditionalinformation
• Orthecorrectedshootingdistance.
Display showing measured angle
Display not showing measured angle
Display showing corrected shooting
distance
SWAROAIM (corrected ballistic shooting distance)
When shooting at an angle (up or down), the force and effect
of gravity is less than with a horizontal shot. This results in a
flatter trajectory and a shifting of the point of impact.
For a detailed description, visit WWW.SWAROVSKIOPTIK.COM.
5.5. Yard / metre setting (P3)
The binoculars can display the measured distance in yards or
metres. To switch between these two units briefly press the
measurement button on menu P3. The unit chosen here also
applies for the corrected ballistic shooting distance.

adjustment ring. To read it, pull out
the dioptric adjustment ring.
7.3. Replacing the battery
Check how much charge is left in the battery. A flashing
aiming mark when the instrument is switched on indicates
a low battery. From the time the low battery indicator first
starts flashing, there is sufficient power for around 100 more
measurements.

7.4. Troubleshooting and display information 8. Maintenance and care
8.1. Lens-cleaning cloth
You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with the enclosed
special microfibre cloth. It is suitable for objective lens, ocu-
lar lens and spectacles.
Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens
surface. If the cloth becomes soiled it can be washed in
lukewarm soapy water and left to dry. Please only use for
cleaning lens surfaces!
8.2. Cleaning
We have designed all elements and surfaces to require little
care.
To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your binocu-
lars, you should keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and
grease. When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger par-
ticles with an optical lens brush. For the subse-
quent thorough cleaning we recommend breathing
onto the lens surface to form a coat of condensa-
tion and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth.
The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist cloth (don’t
use the lens-cleaning cloth).
In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups
can be unscrewed and cleaned easily.
Problem Probable Cause Remedy
The field of view is
shaded at the
periphery (vignetted).
The eyecups have
not been adjusted
correctly for use with
or without spectacles.
Spectacle wearers
need to twist the eye-
cups right in to the
stop position. When
using without spec-
tacles, the eyecups
need twisting out to
the required position
(see chapter 3.1.).
The display shows
“----” for the distance
measured.

Sheet.
2. Clean the objective
lens.
The aiming mark
flashes when the

8.3. Storage
You should keep your binoculars in their bag in a dry, well
ventilated place.
If the instrument is wet, it must be
dried prior to storage.
In tropical regions or regions with a
high humidity the best place to store
the instrument in is an air-tight recep-
tacle along with a moisture-absorbing
agent (e.g. silica gel).
