GETTING STARTED

The battery is already inserted into the battery compartment. The binoculars are ready for immediate use. Before switching on the instrument, please make the following settings:

Adjusting the twist-in eyecups

In principle, you can choose between four different setting positions that provide varying distances between your eye and the lens. You can set the optimal distance according to your personal preference.

Swarovski EL Range instruction manual

Pos. A: Initial position without spectacles: Twist out the eyecups anticlockwise to the full extent.

Pos. C and D: Alternative positions or interim adjustment stages for spectacle wearers and non-spectacle wearers.

Adjusting the interpupillary distance

To see a single round image, adjust the separation between the two halves of the binoculars until the irritating shadows disappear.

Use with equal acuity of both eyes

  • a. Pull out the left and right dioptric adjustment ring and turn it until the long bar on the dioptric scale is in line with the small triangle underneath the ring.

  • b. Once you have finished, push the dioptric adjustment rings back in.

Dioptric compensation

To achieve optimal image quality, it is necessary to correct any varying visual acuity between the left and right eye.

  • 1. Leave the objective lens covers closed and pull out both dioptric adjustment rings.

  • 2. Turn both dioptric adjustment rings counterclockwise until it stops.
  • 3. Hold down the mode button for 4 seconds. This takes you to the dioptric compensation adjustment mode (display remains illuminated for 60 seconds). To exit this mode early, press the measurement button or mode button again.
  • 4. Now look through the left eyepiece at the display with your left eye and slowly turn the dioptric adjustment ring clockwise until the display comes into clear focus.
  • 5. Once you have finished, push the dioptric adjustment ring back in.
  • 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the right-hand dioptric adjustment ring to set the optimum image quality for the right eye (aiming mark).

OPERATION

Single measurement

The aiming mark will appear when the measurement button is pressed briefly. After the button is released, the range measured is shown on the display. For optical safety reasons to protect people in the vicinity, another measurement cannot be taken until about 2 seconds have elapsed. During this safety pause, a continuous series of minus symbols appears on the display. Measurement is in progress.

Scan Mode

Scan Mode is used to continually measure the range of moving targets. The instrument switches to Scan Mode automatically if the measurement button is held down for over 3 seconds.

In Scan Mode, measurements will be taken continually until the measurement button is released (max. 120 seconds). The maximum range of Scan Mode is approx. 1,000 m.

Selecting the programmes:

Hold down the mode button for 2 seconds. This takes you to the main menu: Now use the measurement button to make the programme setting you require. To switch to the next menu item, press the mode button briefly. If you do not press any button within 5 seconds, the menu will close automatically and return to the measurement mode. Your settings are saved automatically. You will find detailed information on the menu navigation in the enclosed Quick Guide.

Note:

Your settings are still retained even after replacing the battery.

Brightness setting display (P1, P4)

In P1 – individual brightness setting – first select the appropriate display brightness level for you. There are 5 brightness levels to choose from.

In P4, turn the automatic brightness adjustment on or off.

  • On: The binocular automatically adjusts the display brightness based on the brightness level you have chosen.
  • Off: The display is constantly illuminated at the brightness level you have chosen.

Angle program (P2)

For each distance measured, you can also display the angle of the binoculars to the object under observation. This angular position means that the corrected shooting distance can also be displayed.

Adjusting the measured angle

On the lower row of the display, you can show either:

  • no additional information
  • or the corrected shooting distance (CAL)
  • or the angle can be displayed.

SWAROAIM (corrected ballistic shooting distance)

When shooting at an angle (up or down), the force and effect of gravity is less than with a horizontal shot. This results in a flatter trajectory and a shifting of the point of impact.

5.5. Yard / metre setting (P3)

The binoculars can display the measured distance in yards or metres. To switch between these two units briefly press the measurement button on menu P3. The unit chosen here also applies for the corrected ballistic shooting distance.

Removing the objective lens cover

  1. Open the objective lens cover.
  2. Pull the objective lens cover firmly downwards.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Lens-cleaning cloth

You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with the enclosed special microfibre cloth. It is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and spectacles. Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth becomes soiled it can be washed in lukewarm soapy water and left to dry. Please only use for cleaning lens surfaces!

Cleaning

We have designed all elements and surfaces to require little care. To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your binoculars, you should keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease. When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger particles with an optical lens brush. For the subsequent thorough cleaning we recommend breathing onto the lens surface to form a coat of condensation and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth. The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist cloth (don’t use the lens-cleaning cloth).

In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups can be unscrewed and cleaned easily.

Storage

You should keep your binoculars in their bag in a dry, well ventilated place. If the instrument is wet, it must be dried prior to storage. In tropical regions or regions with a high humidity the best place to store the instrument in is an air-tight receptacle along with a moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).
