NORMAL OPERATION

(1) Place neck strap about your neck.

(2) Remove eye-lens cover by first rotating binocular

telescopes inward and then lifting off eye-lens cover.

(3) Unsnap objective covers from front of binocular

and let them hang down from binocular.

(4) Rotate the telescopes of the binocular about the

center hinge until both circular fields of view have

merged into one.

(5) Rotate the pop down eyecups to obtain the

proper diopter settings on the diopter scale .

(6) When sighting through the binocular, hold it in a comfortable and stable position.

(7) Refer to pages 11 and 12 for precautions to be observed when unusual weather or

atmosphere conditions prevail.

(8)Under the special conditions when direct sunlight enters the binocular a portion of

this light will be reflected back producing a glint effect which may be detectable at

positions in the general target field.

USE OF RETICLE

One of the telescopes of the binocular includes a horizontal and vertical scale reticle

graduated in 10 mil increment unit markings (1 unit - 10 mils, 2 units - 20 mils, etc.)

Fire corrections can be made by viewing the impact area and determining angular

corrections by use of the left or right horizontal reticle scale.

USE OF RETICLE 

In determining range, if an object fills one 10 mil unit marking on the horizontal retie

scale and is known to be 10 meters wide, the object is 1000 meters away. If the same size

object fills two unit markings (20 mils), it would be 500 meters away. When this formula is

used, the distance will be given in the same units of measurement (feet, meters, etc.) as is

used in estimating the known size of the object. The same formula can be used to determine

range with the vertical reticle scale when the height of an object is known. The use of the

vertical scale is preferred (especially on level terrain), since objects are often viewed obliquely

along the horizontal axis.
