ATTACHING THE CARRYING STRAP AND THE EYEPIECE PROTECTIVE CAP

(See also Figure 1a/1b on the inside rear cover)

Note that the carrying strap has two loops:

• a shorter loop for attaching to the eyelet on the monocular
• a longer loop for attaching the eyepiece protective cap

ADJUSTING THE EYE CUP/USING WITH AND WITHOUT GLASSES

The eyepiece eye cup (1) is adjustable It should be extended (1a) for viewing without and retracted for viewing with glasses (1b)

ADJUSTING THE FOCUS
The focus is adjusted for objects at different distances using the focusing ring (3)

USING THE CLOSE-UP LENS
The LEICA MONOVID 8×20 can also be used to provide a magnified view of objects that are at close range. To do this, the close-up lens (5) supplied is screwed into the inner thread (5a) on the monocular lens (clockwise). Depending on the position of the focusing ring, this results in a viewing distance of around 25–30cm with an identical magnification.

CARE/CLEANING

Your LEICA MONOVID 8×20 does not require any special care. Coarse dirt particles, such as sand, should be removed with a hair pencil or blown off. Fingerprints etc. on the lens and the eyepiece lenses can be wiped off with soft, clean leather or lint-free cloth. The best way to remove spots of water on the lens and eyepiece lenses is with a cloth moistened with water.

Caution:
When wiping heavily soiled lens surfaces, do not exert excessive force. Although the coating is highly abrasion resistant, it can be damaged by sand or salt crystals.
