Disabling the Clicking of the Optical Path Switching
C-TT trinocular tube T and C-TF trinocular tube F have a “NO
CLICK” switch on their tube attaching surface. Slide this switch in
the direction of the arrow with the tip of a pointed tool to disable
clicking for the optical path switching lever. Set the switch to this
position if you need to eliminate the slight vibrations resulting
from the clicking action.
