(as purchased) when looking through the binoculars.
In this condition the pupil of your eye is at the
correct distance to the ocular lens. This adjustment
also ensures a steady positioning of the binoculars
against the eye and minimizes stray light. When
looking through your MINOX BN 7x50 C / BN 7x50
wearing glasses you must fold down the rubber
eyecups to enable you to see the entire field of view
right into the edges.
Warning: Do not use your MINOX binoculars to look
at the sun or other bright sources of light to prevent
any eye injury.
Attachment to a tripod mount
To ensure steady and fatigue-free viewing you can
mount your MINOX BN 7x50 C / BN 7x50 on a tripod
using the tripod thread integrated in the body. For
this purpose we recommend the MINOX tripod mount
(order number 69727) that is available from our range
of accessories.
To use the tripod mount first remove the cap screw
(6) from the tripod thread on the underside of the MI-
NOX BN 7x50 C / BN 7x50. Connect the MINOX tripod
mount to the thread turning it in clockwise direction.

Keep the cap screw (6) in a safe place and screw it
back into the tripod thread after removing the tripod
mount.
