3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNINGS: Do not watch the sun directly by using binoculars to avoid to harm your eyes. 3.1 Parts and Controls of Binoculars Fold-down eyecups Diopter adjustment Threaded hole for tripod adapter Neck strap loops Compass Compass built-in illuminatior push button control Durable rubber armor body Lenses Rubber lens cap Figure 1.
3.2 Binoculars Assembly Please assembly the binoculars belt before using, see Figure 2. Figure 2. Neck Strap Attaching Be make sure to install the batteries into the binoculars if the binoculars need the power to illuminate the compass (7x50C and 8x30C models). Two LR44 1.5V alcaline batteries used to power the 7x50C and 8x30C. The batteries for the compass will be exhausted if the internal lighting system has been used long periods of time.
3.3 Interpupillary adjustment You must first adjust the binoculars so that each eye piece is adjusted to the distance between your eyes. This is done by putting the binoculars in both hands and bending it until you can see a single circular image. Figure 4. Interpupillary Adjustment 3.4 Diopter adjustment To watch the object by handing the binoculars , You will need to close your left eye. Rotate the right diopter adjustment rings untill the object image appears sharp and clear in your right eye opening.
Figure 6. 7x50C and 8x30C Reticle The 7x50 reticle has horizontal scale and vertical scale, in the below there is measuring reticule according to the known height (see Figure 7). Vertical and horizontal lines on the reticule is in mils as unit. Each small division on both vertical and horizontal lines represents 5 mils and each big division represents 10 mils. You can obtain the azimuth angle, upper and lower angle, distance and height or width etc. by using this reticle.
The 10x42 reticle has horizontal scale and vertical scale (see Figure 9). Vertical and horizontal lines on the reticule is in mils as unit. Reticle uses measurements down to .5 milirad similar to Leopold’s Sniper Scope. You can obtain the azimuth angle, upper and lower angle, distance and height or width etc. by using this reticle. .5 mil 1 mil 10 mils 5 mils Figure 9. 10x42 Reticle 3.3.2. How to use the reticle and calculator dial NOTE: The 7x50 reticle is used for example.
Figure 11. Measuring of Big View Angle 2) How to Measure the Vertical View Angle Upper and lower angle means the angel included between any two targets (or two ends of the target) against the vertical line on the reticle. A. Vertical View Angle measurement is similar to measuring the Horizontal View Angle. When the Vertical View Angle measurement is small, aim the cross center of reticle at lower part of the object, read the scale value at the top of the object.
L = H/ω = 25/60 = 0.4166km = 416.6m Therefore: the distance between the observer and the adult is 416.6m. For example 2: There is an adult whose height is 1.70m (H = 1.70m). The Vertical View Angle of the adult is 4 decade mils (40mils). L = H/ω = 1.7/40 = 0.0425km = 42.5m Therefore: the distance between the observer and the adult is 42.5m. Figure 13.
NOTE: Quick distance measurement not present in 7x50C and 10x42 models. 3.6 Compass Using (7x50C and 8x30C only) Be away from the ferromagnetism material during the working condition. (such as cannon, tanks, battle vehicle, high voltage, transformer substation, ferromagnetic mill, electric & ferromagnetic appliance),otherwise the compass will work in big error or improperly. In order to ensure the compass working properly and accurately, we divide the global into 5 areas (A. B. C. D.
In order to insure precise angle measurements, be away from the ferromagnetism material during the working condition. (such as cannon, tanks, battle vehicle, high voltage, transformer substation, ferromagnetic mill, electric & ferromagnetic appliance),otherwise the compass will work in big error or improperly. And the binoculars should be kept horizontal and level when reading the compass. The upper and lower angle can not be over ±15°, The object should lie in the middle of the reticule.
4 MAINTENANCE instructions 4.1 General Maintenance Do not touch the lens by hand, be careful to protect the lens not to be injured by hard substance. Please fold the Interpupillary adjustment in lowness, put on the lens cover and put into the soft bag when you do not use it. Dust, salt and the oil left from fingerprint smudges should never be allowed to remain on the lenses because they can harm the sensitive multi-coatings applied to the lens surfaces.
4.2 Storage Please put in the dryness place when you do not use it in long time. Suggest to use dryer, and be away from ferromagnetism material. 4.3 Service and Maintaine Do not take down and maintain yourself when the binoculars can not work properly, please send back to the factory or find the service centre. 4.
