Important Health Warning:

• Never look directly at the sun or other bright

sources of light through your binoculars!

Non-compliance may lead to serious damage

to your eyes!

• Do not use your binocular while walking! You

might not see obstacles in your way!

AREAS OF USE

Leica Noctivid binoculars come with a hermetically

sealed, nitrogen-ﬁlled magnesium housing. You

don’t have to worry about your binoculars getting

wet when using it outdoors. Leica Noctivid

binoculars are waterproof to a depth of 5m. The

nitrogen ﬁlling prevents condensation forming on

the internal optics.

ATTACHING CARRYING STRAP

AND EYEPIECE CAP

Note:

If you want to attach the eyepiece cap to the

carrying strap, you will have to do that at the time

of attaching the carrying strap to the binoculars.

MOUNTING THE LENS CAPS

You need to push the adapter rings over the lenses

of the binoculars before you can ﬁt the lens caps.

Make sure that the recesses in the adapters are

pointing towards the body and touch the lower

bridge of the binoculars. The adapter rings should

lie ﬂush against the front of the rubber coating. You

can now attach the actual lens caps by pushing

their elongated tabs through the matching opening

on the adapter rings. The caps click into the

housing of the lenses and cover them.

ADJUSTING THE EYECUPS

The eyecups 1are adjusted by turning them and will

lock securely in the selected position. They can be

removed to thoroughly clean the eyepieces.

For use with eyeglasses, the eyecups should be

turned in clockwise to the end position (Figure A).

Turn them counter-clockwise for viewing without

eyeglasses. There are three setting options to adjust

to your pupil positions (Figures B, C).

C D

If the eyepieces are heavily soiled, we recommend

removing the eyecups for cleaning (Figure D).

The eyecups have a loss protection lock. To unlock,

turn them counter-clockwise a little further until

they pass their fully extended position (Figure C)

and move back down a little. The eyecups can then

be removed (Figure D).

ADJUSTING THE INTEROCULAR DISTANCE

Adjust the interocular distance by moving the

binoculars on the pivot axis. Ensure that the

right-hand and left-hand ﬁelds of view merge into

one circular image.

FOCUSING/DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

With the Leica Noctivid binoculars, focusing on

objects at varying distances is done using the

central focusing unit (Figure A).

The diopter setting feature to compensate

diﬀerences between right and left eyesight is

integrated into this unit.

In order to set the diopter, focus ﬁrst on a speciﬁc

object using your left eye only. Remember that

object and do not change your position.

Next, pull the central focusing unit’s wheel up

slightly (Figure B).

Then focus on the same object using your right eye

only.

Finally, push the wheel back down which locks your

diopter setting. This setting is only necessary once

per user.

SCALE READING

You can see your personal diopter setting in the

scale window on top of the central focusing unit.

The value shown on the scale, i.e. the increment

between two long lines represents approximately

one diopter diﬀerence between the left and right

eye.

Should the binoculars be used by several persons

who change the setting, readjusting a setting is

simple using the initially determined scale value.

CARE/CLEANING

Your Leica Noctivid binoculars require no special

care. Coarse dirt particles like sand can be removed

with a soft brush or simply blown oﬀ. Fingerprints,

etc. on lenses and eyepieces can be removed with a

soft, clean chamois or lint-free cloth. In case of

severe dirt on the device, e.g. on the eyecups, the

binoculars can be rinsed under running water. Salt

water should also be rinsed away. Water stains on

the lenses and eyepieces are best removed with a

moist cloth.

Any moisture inside the focusing unit (visible in the

scale window) will dry faster with the central

focusing unit’s wheel 3unlocked.

Do not use alcohol or chemical cleaning solutions

on the binoculars.

Important:

Do not apply pressure when wiping heavily soiled

lens surfaces. They have a highly scratch-resistant

coating, but sand or salt crystals on the lens may

still causeo permanent damage.
