English Possible applications The Leica Ultravid binoculars have hermetic ally sealed and nitrogen-filled magnesium housings. They are therefore suited for rough outdoor use. There is no need to be concerned with moisture as they are 100% waterproof to a depth of 5 m and the internal optical system is not subject to fogging. Attaching the carrying strap and the protective eyepiece cover See illustration on the rear cover flap.
A B C Adjusting the eyecups / Use with and without glasses The eyepiece cups (1) can be easily adjusted by turning them and they lock securely into the selected positions. They can also be com pletely removed for thorough cleaning. For viewing with eyeglasses (image A) they remain in the fully screwed-in position. For viewing without eyeglasses, they are unscrewed by turning them anticlockwise. Two positions are available for optimum adjustment (images B, C).
English Adjusting the eyebase To set the eyebase, adjust the binoculars at the hinged joint. The left and right fields of view must merge and produce a single circu lar image. Focusing / Diopter adjustment With the Leica Ultravid binoculars the central focusing ring (4) is used to set the focus for variously distant objects. Compensation for individual defective vision for viewing without eyeglasses is made using the diopter ring (4), which is normally locked (Figure A).
A B 3 4 Notes: – The diopter ring rotates freely, i.e. it can accidentally be rotated by more than 360° with respect to the central focusing ring. Depending on the latter‘s previous setting, the combined system‘s focusing range can be limited considerably by this. Therefore, take care to turn the diopter ring only as far as necessary for the eyesight adjust ment.
English Indications on the scale As long as the two halves of the drive are cou pled together, the binoculars are permanently adjusted to your eyesight, irrespective of the focusing distance to an object. You need to make the adjustment only once. If other people use your binoculars, they may have to alter the setting. Simply note your personal setting on the scale; when someone else has used them, you can reset the binoculars in a matter of seconds.
Care and maintenance Your Leica Ultravid binoculars need no spe cial maintenance. Use a soft lens brush or a blower to remove large particles of dirt, sand, etc. To remove fingerprints etc., first wipe the eyepiece and lens with a damp cloth, then dry them with a piece of clean, soft chamois leather or lint-free cloth. If the binoculars, particularly the rotating eyecups, are very dirty, simply rinse them under a running fau-c et. Always rinse off salt water.
