General instructions

Preparing your binoculars

The scope of delivery of your MINOX BN 7x50 C II in-
cludes 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 (3) 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 (11) to the neck strap via the
loop (12) 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 (13) to protect the objective
lenses of the BN 7x50 C II 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 (14) over the cap screw of
the tripod thread (7) 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.
If you want to remove the lens cap from your
BN 7x50 C II completely, pull the loop of the lens cap
bracket carefully out from behind the tripod thread
and pull the loop off the cap screw of the tripod
thread (7).

Adjusting the binoculars

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II should be adjusted to your
individual needs before use. Observe the following
steps for correct use.

Interpupillary distance adjustment

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II has a folding bridge that you
can use to adjust the two eyepieces to the distance
between your eyes. Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II is prop-
erly adjusted to the interpupillary distance when you
can see one round full circle when you look through
your MINOX binoculars. Adjust your MINOX binocu-
lars until the two circles are superimposed to form
one full circle.

Focusing

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II has an individual eye-
piece focusing system. The advantage of this
feature is that all observed objects within a range
from 12 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 adjust-
able range of the individual eyepieces is – 4 up to + 6
diopters.
Proceed as follows to ensure optimum adjustment to
your vision: Choose an observation object at a dis-
tance 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 counter-
clockwise 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 eyepiece 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 eye-
piece 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.

Using the binoculars with

and without eyeglasses

Your MINOX BN 7x50 C II is fitted with folding eye-
cups of flexible rubber. These can be used to adjust
the distance to your eye, depending on whether you
are wearing glasses or not. Those users not wearing
glasses leave the folding eyecups in extended position
