Getting to know your binoculars

Place your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM vertically on a flat
surface in front of you, with the objective lenses down.
The eyepieces with their twisting rubber eyecups (1)
should be upward with the control buttons facing you.
To the right, you will see the Up / Down navigation but-
tons (3). To the left, you will see the On / Off button (10)
surrounded by the mode dial (11). Below that, you will
find the memory button (8) to save and confirm readings
and settings. At the center of the two binocular halves,
is the hinged construction to allow for an individual
setting to compensate for the interpupillary differences
between the user's eyes. To the right and left of the
binoculars are the carrying strap brackets (9). At the
bottom and between the objectives, you will find the
tripod mounting thread (6) with its screw-on cap (7).
This thread, together with the MINOX tripod adapter,
allows for the mounting of your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM
to a tripod. To the right of the tripod thread, you will find
the battery compartment (4) with its T-screw cap (5).

General instructions

for BN 7x50 DCM

Attaching the carrying strap

A neoprene carrying strap is included in the delivery of
your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM, which helps to keep your
binoculars afloat in the case that they should fall into
the water. To avoid loss or damage to the binoculars if
they should fall, we suggest strongly to use the strap at
all times when using your MINOX binoculars.
Thread the strap through one of the brackets (9) on your
binoculars. Pull the end of the strap back towards the
buckle and then through the bottom of the buckle. Re-
peat this procedure for the other side of your binoculars.
After you have successfully attached the carrying strap,
you can adjust it to your preferred length.

Attaching the eyepiece caps

Attach the eyepiece caps by threading the carrying
strap through the loop (without slit) before the strap
is attached to the binoculars. It is highly advisable to
cover the eyepieces when the binoculars are not in use
to protect the ocular lenses from foreign substances like
rain, dust or sand. When using the binoculars, the caps
will hang on your carrying strap to avoid loss and will
not get in the way.
