FOCUSING
For a pin-sharp image, definition you must adjust the optics
of the binoculars to your individual vision. To do this, please
proceed as follows:
1. First, look at an object far away. With the right eye closed,
turn the focusing knob until the object in view has become
perfectly sharp.
2. Next, look at the same object in the distance with the left
eye closed and turn the diopter adjustment ring on the right
eyepiece until the object is perfectly sharp.
3. Your MINOX binoculars are now set to the individual vision
of both eyes.
4. To observe objects at various distances, use the focus adjust-
ment knob to obtain a clear and sharp image.
Attention: Do not use binoculars to look into the sun, this
could lead to irreparable eye damage.
ATTACHING A TRIPOD
For a shudder-free image, we recommend using a tripod, espe-
cially with binoculars with a higher magnification. The MINOX
tripod adapter (order no. 80405832) is available as an optional
accessory for this purpose.
Remove the screw cap (6) on the bottom of the binoculars and
attach the MINOX tripod adapter into the screw socket. Keep
the screw cap (6) in a safe place and reattach it after removing
the tripod adapter.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
To provide as much protection as possible for your MINOX
product, it is strongly recommended to use the carrying case
when storing your binoculars.
Carefully remove dirt and dust from the housing with a soft
moist cloth. If your binoculars have been exposed to saltwater,
thoroughly rinse them off with warm water and dry carefully as
saltwater can be aggressive to the lenses, detrimentally affect-
ing their optical quality.
Contamination of the lenses by foreign bodies like sand, dust,
grease, waterdrops or fingerprints reduce the image quality
of your MINOX binoculars. Foreign bodies should be carefully
removed using a very soft brush before cleaning the lenses. To
avoid damage to the lens surfaces, it is strongly advisable to
use specially developed optical cleaning materials to remove
fingerprints, grease etc. from the lenses. We recommend using
the MINOX optical cleaning set (order nr. 80405463).
SERIAL NUMBER
On the bottom of the X-lite binoculars you will find the serial
number. It is important that you make a note of this number for
the event of loss.
