For example: You observe a lighthouse, and its measured Vertical View
Angle is 6 decade mils. You need to rotate the Active Ring and place the
division marked "6" in the View Scale at the Angle Index Mark. Its assuming
height is 12 m, the division marked "12" in the Size Scale points to the
division marked "200" in the Fixed Scale. This tells us that the lighthouse's
distance is 200 m from us.
The Size Scale and Fixed scale of the Calculator Dial are in a "ratio" to each
other. When your observing object is too large or too small, you can zoom
it tenfold or discretionarily, and zoom the measuring result in the same way.
Thus, you can get more convenience, especially when you aren't familiar
with diversified units.

According to the formula for distance measurement, you can calculate the
height using:
H = L × ω. (Height = Distance x View Angle)
When measuring the size, you first estimate the distance to the object and
then measure the View Angle. With these measurements, you can calculate
the height of the target using the formula.
For example:
The distance is 0.6 km between the observer and the object. You can
measure that the Horizontal View Angle is 6 decade mils (60 mils) and the
Vertical View Angle is 3 decade mils (30 mils). So, using the formula you
can get:
The height: H = 0.6 × 30 = 18 m (for feet divide 18 by 3.28)
The width: H = 0.6 × 60 = 36 m

The Compass is aligned with the vertical range finding scale.
The Compass by itself will only indicate direction to or from an object but
not relative position. To determine position, you need a map or chart and a
protractor.
The azimuth angle can be measured through the analog Compass which
is built into the binocular. It shows the azimuth of the object relative to
the observer. Each graduation of the Compass equals one degree of
angle. When the object lies north from you, the Compass reads 360°. The
Compass degrees will increase when you turn it clockwise. 90° means the
object lies in the east from you, 180° means the south and 270° means the
west.
In order to insure precise angle measurements, the binocular should be kept
horizontal and level when reading the compass, and the object should lie in
the middle of the reticle.
Note: When using the Compass, always keep in mind the local variation
between magnetic north (the Compass reading) and true north. Do not put
your finger or hand over the white button (compass window), as it allows
light to enter the binocular, so the Compass readings can be seen.

These binoculars feature a built-in tripod adapter fitting which is a
threaded screw hole underneath a cap. To attach a binocular tripod
adapter, remove the cap and then thread the screw from the binocular
tripod adapter into the threaded screw hole. The other end of the
binocular tripod adapter attaches to a photographic tripod. Mounting
binoculars this way allows for added stability and comfort.

Care and CLeaning: Binoculars do not need routine maintenance
other than making sure that the objective lenses and eyepieces are
kept clean. If repairs become necessary, they should be serviced by the
manufacturer or a qualified binocular repair company. If your binocular is
roughly handled or dropped, there is a good chance that the collimation
(alignment of the optics) will be out and they should be serviced. Dirty
objective lenses and/or eyepieces mean less light transmission and loss
of brightness, as well as unsharp images. Keep your optics clean! When
not using your binocular, store it in the soft case provided after putting the
lens caps on. Avoid touching the glass surfaces, however, if fingerprints
(which contain mild acid) do get on the glass, they should be cleaned as
soon as possible to avoid damaging the coatings. To clean the optical
surfaces, we recommend a lens/optics cleaning kit available at most photo
or optical shops. Follow the instructions provided with the kit closely. If
you have a lot of dust or dirt accumulated, brush it off gently with a camel's
hair brush and/or utilize a can of pressurized air before using the cleaning
kit. Alternately, you could use the Celestron LensPen (# 93575) made
especially for cleaning binoculars. never attempt to clean your binocular
internally or try to take it apart!
Caution! Viewing the Sun may cause permanent eye damage. Do not
view the Sun with your binocular!
