Preparing your binoculars
The scope of delivery of your MINOX 75x44 RAPID
includes a neoprene neck strap We recommend that
you wear the neck strap whenever you are using your
MINOX binoculars
Note: By wearing the strap you can avoid damage
caused by dropping the binoculars
Attaching the neck strap
Thread the strap through the bracket on the body of
the binoculars Pull the end of the strap back to the
buckle and then thread it through the buckle from be-
hind to secure the strap Fasten the neck strap on the
other side of the binoculars in the same way Adjust
the neck strap to a comfortable length once you have
fastened it on both sides
Attaching the eyepiece cap
Connect the eyepiece cap to the neck strap via the
loop on the left side The eyepiece cap protects the
optics on the eyepieces against foreign particles, rain,
dust and sand Remove the eyepiece cap from the
eyepiece when you want to use your binoculars
This cap then hangs down out of the way on the left
side of the strap
Objective lens cap
Use the objective lens cap to protect the objective
lenses of the 75x44 RAPID against foreign particles,
rain, salt water, dust and sand You can attach this
lens cap to your binoculars by placing the loop on
the objective lens cap bracket over the cap screw of
the tripod thread and threading it through until the
loop is completely inserted behind the tripod thread
Remove the lens cap from the objective lens when
you want to use your binoculars and let it hang down
Adjusting the binoculars
Before you use your 75x44 RAPID it must be adjust-
ed to your individual requirements
Observe the following steps for correct use
Interpupillary distance adjustment
Your 75x44 RAPID has a folding bridge that you
can use to adjust the two eyepieces to the distance
between your eyes Your 75x44 RAPID is properly
adjusted to the interpupillary distance when you can
see one round full circle when you look through your
MINOX binoculars Adjust your MINOX binoculars
until the two circles are superimposed to form one
full circle
Focusing
Your 75x44 RAPID has an individual eyepiece fo-
cusing system The advantage of this feature is that
all observed objects within a range from 20 meters
to infinity can be seen as a pin sharp image without
having to readjust the focusing of your binoculars to
close or far away objects The adjustable range of the
individual eyepieces is – 2 up to + 5 diopters Proceed
as follows to ensure optimum adjustment to your
vision: Choose an observation object at a distance
of about 50 meters First close your right eye Look
through the left eyepiece of your binoculars with
your left eye Turn the left eyepiece ring in clockwise
or counterclockwise direction until you see a sharp
image Now close your left eye and adjust the right
eyepiece in the same way by turning the right eye-
piece ring Your binocular is now adjusted to your
individual vision Both eyepieces have a diopter scale
Remember your individual diopter setting for the
left and right eyepiece or mark it with a permanent
marker In this way you will be able to quickly readjust
the binoculars to your vision if, for example, another
person has used them and changed the settings
The 75x44 RAPID features a tactile detent at the
dioptre zero position of the eyecups for easy adjust-
ment when focusing
