3.1 Justering af pupilafstand

The interpupillary distance (the distance between the centers of your pupils) must be correctly set to ensure a single, circular field of view. Hold the binoculars up to your eyes and adjust the hinge until you see a single, clear image without any dark edges.

The eyecups can be adjusted to accommodate users with or without eyeglasses. Rotate the eyecups counter-clockwise to extend them for use without eyeglasses. If you wear eyeglasses, rotate the eyecups clockwise until they are fully retracted.

4.1 Fokusering

The Leica Ultravid BR 8x20 features a central focusing wheel and a diopter adjustment. To focus:

  1. Close your right eye and look through the left eyepiece at a distant object. Rotate the central focusing wheel until the image is sharp.
  2. Close your left eye and look through the right eyepiece. Adjust the diopter ring (located on the right eyepiece) until the image is sharp.
  3. With both eyes open, the image should now be perfectly focused. For subsequent use, only the central focusing wheel will typically need adjustment for different distances.

4.2 Foldemekanisme

The compact design allows the binoculars to be folded for easy storage and transport. Gently push the two barrels together until they are fully collapsed. To use, pull them apart until they are at your desired interpupillary distance.

5. Vedligeholdelse

5.1 Rengøring af linserne

To clean the lenses, first use a soft brush or compressed air to remove any loose dust or debris. Then, use the provided lens cleaning cloth or a specialized optical cleaning cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning fluid. Wipe gently in a circular motion. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens coatings.

5.2 Rengøring af kroppen

The rubber-armored body can be cleaned with a soft, damp klud. Til genstridigt snavs kan en mild sæbeopløsning anvendes, efterfulgt af aftørring med en ren,amp cloth. Ensure no water enters the optical system.

5.3 Opbevaring

Store your binoculars in a cool, dry place, preferably in their protective carrying case, when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
