Both right and left ocular eyepieces have +/- diopter
markings. Remembering the setting or marking the di-
opter setting with a permanent marker makes refocu-
sing the unit easy if another person has used the
binocular and changed the settings.
Caution
Do not use the binoculars to look at the sun. This could
lead to eye injuries.
Note for spectacle wearers
To suit the requirements of spectacle wearers, the MINOX
binoculars are equipped with adjustable eyecups (2).
This allows the glasses wearer a better overall view.
Using the binoculars with and without eyeglasses
If you do not wear glasses, leave the eyecups in the
initial state. This places your eyes at the correct distance
from the eyepiece lens and ensures firm positioning of
the binoculars and reduces stray light from the side. If
you wear glasses, fold down the rubber eye cup. This
allows you to see the full field of view.
Other features
Tripod Adapter
To ensure blur-free viewing it is advisable to only use a
tripod at high magnifications. Your MINOX BD 9.5 x 42 IF
is designed to be used with a tripod or window mount.
To use this feature requires the use of a tripod adapter.
Tripod adapters are available from MINOX or your sport
optic dealer (order no. 69725). To install the tripod ad-
apter unscrew the knurled cap that is attached to the
center hinge pin (6). Under the cap is a 1/4 x 20 N.C.
treaded hole. Follow the instructions included with the
tripod adapter for proper installation.
Note
Severe damage to the binocular can occur if the tripod
collapses or is knocked over. It is recommended to re-
move the binocular from the tripod if the user is not wit-
hin arms reach of the tripod.
Ocular Lens Covers
Ocular lens covers are provided to protect the objective
lenses of your binocular. Keeping the lenses protected
when not in use reduces the amount of the dust or de-
bris that settles on the lenses.
