1. Eyecups, Fold Down 5. Interpupillary Scale 2. 3. 4. L.H. Housing R.H. Housing Objective Covers 6. 7. Knurled Adapter Diopter Scale Ring

8. Eye Lens Cover

Each telescope is comprised of eyecups (1), a housing assembly (2 or 3) and objective covers (4). These assemblies are optically prealigned at the factory and must not be disassembled. 2

The friction necessary to maintain the proper interpupillary distance (distance between the eyes) is created by eleven rubber 0-rings installed in the grooves of the index pin. Once this distance is set for your eye spacing, the reading on the interpupillary scale (5) can be noted for future reference. By rotating the knurled adapter ring (6) of the eyepieces, you can focus each telescope to accommodate your particular optical characteristics. The reading on each diopter scale (7) should then be noted for future reference. The eye lens cover (8) should be placed over the eyepieces when the binocular is not in use.

LASER PROTECTION FILTERS

WARNING Use of a binocular with a faulty coated lens may result in irreparable eye damage if laser light is viewed through the binocular. The M22 Binocular is provided with laser protection filters as indicated by the label (1) located on the objective lens filter frame. The laser protective coating is contained on the inside surface of the outermost lens. If this lens is lost or damaged the binocular is considered nonoperational and must be turned in. Under the 4

special conditions when direct sunlight enters the binocular, a portion of this light will be reflected back, producing a sun glint which may be detectable at positions in the general target field.

TM 9-1240-403-12&P HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

DO'S Handle the binocular with care. Dropping or jarring the binocular can damage or misalign the optics. Use the neckstrap to protect against accidental dropping of the binocular. Keep the binocular as clean and dry as possible and always store in clean, dry place when not actually in use. Follow the instructions outlined in this TM to obtain the best possible usage and service from the binocular. Do not use a dry cloth to clean the glass surfaces of the binocular. Specific cleaning instructions are given on page 13. Do not attempt to open or close the binocular beyond its stop limits as this may damage internal and external parts. Do not unnecessarily expose the binocular to severe weather elements, Special precautions are noted on pages 11 and 12. Do not force the knurled adapter rings beyond marked diopter scale readings as this may damage internal parts. 5

TM 9-1240-403-12&P HOW TO REMOVE/lNSTALL NECK STRAP

Remove lock buttons (1) from neck strap (2) Slide strap out of binocular holding loops (3). Slide strap out of eye lens cover holding loops (4). Install one end of neck strap through eye lens cover holding loop (4). Slide end of neck strap (2) through holding loop (3) on bottom of binocular and insert lock button (1) through both holes in neck strap. Repeat procedure for other end of neck strap.

TM 9-1240-403-12&P OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

W A R N I N G When using the binocular, never point it directly at the sun. The heat generated by the focused rays of the sun may cause serious damage to your eyes and to the optical elements of the binocular.

Interpupillary Adjustment To obtain the proper interpupillary setting for your particular eye spacing, view a distant object through the binocular. Then, rotate the telescopes about the center of hinge until both circular fields of view have merged mto one circle. Note the reading on the interpupillary scale (1) for future reference.

Diopter Adjustment Each eyepiece of the binocular has a diopter scale graduated from plus 4 to minus 4 in half-diopter increments and can be adjusted to suit your eyesight characteristics. Rotate the knurled adapter rings (2) to obtain the sharpest focus and note the scale readings for future reference. 7

TM 9-1240-403-12&P NORMAL OPERATION

(1) Place neck strap about your neck. (2) Remove eye lens cover by first rotating binocular telescopes inward and then Iifting off eye lens cover. (3) Unsnap objective covers from front of binocular and let them hang down from binocular. (4) Close the telescopes of the binocular until the interpupillary index scale is at the proper setting for use (see page 7). (5) Rotate the eyepiece adapter rings to obtain the proper diopter settings on the diopter scale (see page 7). (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.

TM 9-1240-403-12&P 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. 9

TM 9-1240-403-12&P

USE OF RETICLE (contd)

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

TM 9-1240-403-12&P

EXTREME COLD
(1) Avoid breathing directly on the optical elements of the binocular. The breath may condense and freeze. (2) Do not expose the binocular to sudden and extreme temperature changes, such as carrying it directly from a well-heated area into sub-zero temperatures. Extreme temperature changes may cause the optical elements to crack.

EXTREME HEAT
(1) Do not allow the binocular to lie unprotected from the direct rays of the sun. The intensified heat may damage the binocular mechanisms. (2) Place the binocular objective and eye lens covers on the binocular before entering an air conditioned area. This will permit the binocular to cool down gradually and prevent condensation from forming. 11

TM 9-1240-403-12&P

OTHER EXTREME CONDITIONS

Sand and Dust (1) Always keep the binocular objective and eye lens covers on when not actually in use. Sand and dust will etch glass surfaces and can penetrate through the smallest openings, thereby causing damage to adjusting mechanisms. (2) Upon completion of operations, remove all particles of sand and dust from optical elements as instructed on page 13 before installing protective objective and eye lens covers. High Humidity or Salty Conditions (1) Avoid exposing the binocular to direct salt spray. Salt water is extremely corrosive and can cause irreparable damage to the binocular. (2) Always dry the binocular thoroughly after use and immediately clean lens as instructed on page 13 and install objective and eye lens covers. 12

TM 9-1240-403-12&P

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Binocular Exterior Clean the exterior of the M22 binocular (but not the lenses) with a lint-free cloth. (Item 4, p. 17). Remove grease spots, fingerprints and other soil with soap and water and a well wrung-out cloth (Item 4, p. 17); then dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. (Item 4, p. 17). Remove dirt and lint from objective and eye lens cover interior surfaces with a blower. (Item 1, p. 16). Optical Surfaces Blow as much dust and dirt as possible from the exposed lens surfaces. Then, using a soft brush (Item 2, p. 16), brush across the surface with light, quick strokes, flicking the brush after each stroke to dislodge the dust it has picked up. When all visible particles of dust and dirt have been removed, moisten a piece of lens tissue (Item 5, p. 17) with lens cleaner (Item 3, p. 17) and gently wipe over the surfaces. 13
