Attaching the objective lens caps

It is advisable to use the objective lens caps to further
protect your BN 7x50 DCM from foreign bodies like rain,
saltwater, dust or sand. These can be attached by simply
pulling the tongues over the tripod mounting thread cap
(7) and manoevering them until properly secured under
the cap. When using your binoculars, the caps will now
hang away from the objective lenses and not get in the
way. If you would like to remove the lens caps from the
binoculars, carefully pull the tongues out and over the
tripod mounting thread and cap.

Inserting and changing the battery

Your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM possesses a digital compass
which requires a CR2 lithium battery. To insert and
change the battery, please follow the next steps:
1. Open the battery compartment lid (5) by turning it
counter-clockwise.
2. Remove the battery from the battery compartment
(4) and dispose of at the appropriate collection point
for old batteries.
3. Insert the new battery (CR2), taking the +/- poles
into consideration; (+) towards the eyepieces.
4. Close the battery compartment by turning the lid (5)
clockwise. Make sure that the lid is firmly in place to
ensure watertightness.

Important note: If the battery is removed or re-
placed, you will have to reset the various functions
of your digital compass (watch, actual altitude, etc.).

Binocular settings

Before using your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM, the binoculars
should be set in accordance to your personal needs. To
do this, please follow the next steps carefully.

Interpupillary distance adjustment

Your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM binoculars are hinged in
the middle to allow for an individual compensation of
interpupillary distances. Your binoculars are adjusted
properly when you can see a large, round image with
both eyes, without vignetting.

Focusing

Your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM is equipped with single ocular
focusing. This has the advantage that anything viewed
from 12 meters (39.37 feet) to infinity remains perfectly
sharp and clear, without having to make any further ad-
justments. You can adjust your binoculars to distances
less than 12 meters (39.37 feet) as well but for that,
everything beyond 12 meters will remain out-of-focus.
The adjustment range of the oculars lie between -3 and
+3 diopters. To ensure an optimal visual performance
from the outset, please follow the next steps: Look at
an object about 50 meters (approx. 55 yards) away.
Close your right eye and look through the binoculars
with your left eye. Turn the ocular ring to the right or
left until the viewed object is clearly focused. Now close
your left eye and repeat this procedure with the right
ocular. Your binoculars are now set to your individual
visual performance requirements.

Diopter scale

Both oculars are equipped with a diopter scale. Make
a note of your individual diopter setting and if desired,
mark the position with a permanent marking pen. In
this way, you can find your settings quickly in the case
that someone else used your binoculars and adjusted
the oculars for their personal use.
Use with or without eyeglasses
Your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM is equipped with twisting
eyecups to enable a quick adjustment of the eye relief,
ie. the distance between the eye and the ocular lens,
for those who do or do not wear glasses.
Users who do not wear glasses, turn the eyecups counter-
clockwise. This allows for a perfect distance between the
eyes and the ocular lens and provides for a comfortable
positioning of the binoculars, which also helps to reduce
stray light. For those wearing eyeglasses, the eyecups
must be turned clockwise all the way down to be able to
see the entire field of view without vignetting.

Changing the eyecups

Folding eyecups are included within the scope of delivery
to meet the individual needs and requirements of MINOX
customers. The eyecups are equipped with a left-handed
thread, to allow for a quick and simple exchange. To
remove the eyecups, turn them to the right (clockwise)
– to attach, turn to the left (counter-clockwise). Leave
the eyecups extended for use without glasses. For those
