Thermometer (TEMP)

Turning the mode dial to the right will now bring you to
the thermometer menu item. The readings of the ther-
mometer in your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM can be displayed
either in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F). The temperature
range in degrees is from –20°C to 55°C or 4°F to 131°F.
Select the desired unit of measurement (°C) or (°F) by
pressing the navigation buttons (3) either up or down.

Selecting temperature history

An automatic recording of the temperatures occurs
every ten minutes but is displayed in units of two hours
in the bar diagram. Turning the mode dial to the right
will bring you to the temperature history reading. In the
display, you will see a bar diagram of the present (the
bar at the far right) and the last four readings from right
to left of the previous 2, 4, 6 or 8 hours respectively.
The temperature history in intervals can be viewed by
pressing the navigation buttons (3) up or down.

The bar diagram serves to graphically display tempera-
ture changes over a period of the previous 8 hours.

Digital stopwatch (TIMER)

Turn the mode dial to the right to enter the stopwatch
mode. Your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM is equipped with a
digital stopwatch with a split time function. The hours,
minutes, seconds and tenths of a second can be meas-
ured and saved in up to 3 split time memory slots.
Stopwatch settings: Start, stop, save and delete
In the stopwatch mode, you will see „TIMER 0.00.00.0"
in the display. By pushing the Up button (3), the time

measurement will begin. Pushing the Up button again
will stop the time. To resume the time measurement,
push the Up button yet again – this process can be
repeated as often as necessary. To reset the stopwatch
reading, push the Down button (3). You will see
„RESET" for about one second and the reading will be
restored to „TIMER 0.00.00.0".

Recording split times with the stopwatch

As described above, the time can be stopped using
the navigation buttons (3). If the memory button (8)
is pressed during the time measurement, this value
will be saved in one of the available memory slots. You
will see „SAVED" for approximately one second after
pressing the memory button. Your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM
can save up to three split time values. If the memory is
full, you will see „FULL" in the display after pressing the
memory button for the fourth time. To save further time
values, you will need to delete the recorded split time.
The recorded times can be viewed by pressing the On
/ Off button (10) once. You will see MEM-1, MEM-2 or
MEM-3 and the respective split times in the display. To
navigate between the recorded times, press the naviga-
tion buttons (3) either up or down. Press the On / Off
button again to enter the stopwatch mode (fig. 12).

Deleting split times

While in the stopwatch mode (fig. 5), press the On / Off
button (10) once. You will see MEM-1, MEM-2 or MEM-3
and the respective split times in the display. By pushing
the Up and Down buttons (3) simultaneously, the value
will be deleted – you will see „DELETED" in the display
for about one second, after which you will see the next
value. Repeating this process will delete all values until
you see „EMPTY" in the display. If however, you wish
to delete only one or two of these values, simply push
the On / Off button (10) once to discontinue the deletion
procedure. You are again now in the stopwatch mode
(fig. 12).

Setting the time (WATCH)

Turning the mode dial to the right will bring you to the
watch mode. The time in your MINOX BN 7x50 DCM
is displayed in the 24 hour time format in hours and
minutes. Pushing the On / Off button (10) once will bring
you to the „SET TIME" mode. The hour will blink and can
be set by pushing the navigation button (3) either up or
down. To save this value, press the memory button (8)
once and the minutes will begin to blink. Set the minutes
by pushing the navigation button (3) either up or down
and save by pressing the memory button (8) once. You
can alternate between setting the hour or minutes by
