☆ SPECIFICATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTIFICATION OR ANY OBLIGATION ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER.

WARNING

1. To avoid serious eye damage, NEVER look at the sun using the binoculars. Serious damage to the retina, or total loss of eyesight may occur.
2. Do not leave the binoculars in locations subject to direct sunlight. Sun rays passing through the binoculars can be intensified, and should they focus on flammable materials, fire may occur.

Safety Precautions

1. Do not use the binoculars while walking as depth perception and peripheral vision are dramatically altered. This can result in injury.
2. Caution should be taken when adjusting the binocular barrels, especially by children, to avoid f ngers being pinched.
3. Using the binoculars may cause inf ammation of the skin around the eye where the eyepiece ring comes in contact with the skin. Consult a physician if any symptoms are noticed.
4. Do not swing the binoculars by the strap, as there is a danger of injury.
5. Keep the vinyl bag in which the binoculars are packed for delivery, and all other vinyl bags, out of the reach of children and infants, as there is a risk of suffocation.

Handling Precautions

1. Do not apply excessive force when adjusting the central focusing wheel, diopter adjusting ring, eyepiece rings, eyepiece width or when mounting the binoculars on a tripod. (Please use the optional Pentax Tripod adapter U to mount the binoculars on a tripod.
2. Do not drop the binoculars or subject them to strong vibration, impact or pressure.
3. Never expose the binoculars to high temperature (over 60 degrees centigrade or 140 degrees Fahrenheit). Avoid leaving the binoculars for an extended period of time in a hot humid place such as in a car parked in the sun or near a heater, as this could cause the binoculars to become deformed.
4. Care should be taken when the binoculars are taken to the places with widely varying temperatures difference as condensation or, in extreme cases, icelets may form that could cause rust or other damage. In such circumstances the binoculars should be covered by the bag or soft case so that the temperature change will be as gradual as  possible. After the temperatures have stabilized, the binoculars may be uncovered and used again.
5. Farsighted users may feel tired or feel pain in their eyes whie using the binoculars. We recommend that you wear glasses or contact lenses when you use the binoculars.
6. Reasonable care should be taken to prevent exposure to dirt, mud, sand, moisture, toxic gas, or any other substance. These substances may cause damage or render the binoculars inoperable.
7. These binoculars are waterproof. However, if they are wet after use, wipe them with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner, alcohol or benzine for cleaning. If the lenses are dirty, wipe away any residual dirt with a clean, soft, dry cloth using lens cleaner.
8. Binoculars should be stored in a well-ventilated place to prevent fungus growth. Never store them in a closet with mothballs or in an environment where chemicals are handled.

How to Use

1. Eyepiece Rings
   • For easy viewing, the binoculars are usually adjusted by pullling the eyepiece rings out while rotating them to the left (Fig. 1). You can rotate the rings to three positions: original, middle and maximum. To set the rings back to the original position, rotate them to the right.
   • If you wear glasses when using these binoculars, push the eyepiece rings back to the original position
   • Do not rotate the eyepiece rings with excessive force.

2. Adjusting the Eyepiece Width
   • While looking at a distant object through both the right and left eyepiece lenses, adjust the barrels so that you can view the object in the most comfortable way (Fig. 2).

3. Adjusting Diopter
   • While looking through the left eyepiece lens with the left eye only, turn the central focusing wheel slowly to focus on a distant object most sharply (Fig. 3-1).
   • While looking through the right eyepiece lens with the right eye, turn the diopter adjusting ring until the same object comes into sharp focus (Fig. 3-2). Be careful not to rotate the central focusing wheel.
   • To observe the subject at different distances, focus by turning the central focusing wheel to the right or left.

4. Mounting Binoculars on Tripod
   • To mount the binoculars on a tripod, screw the optional Pentax Tripod Adapter U into the tripod socket and attach the binoculars on the tripod (Fig.4).

5. Attaching Strap
   • To attach the neck strap to the binoculars, put the tip of the strap clasp in the strap hook and slide the strap clasp to the eyepiece lens side while pressing it until clicks (Fig.5-1).
   • Check to see if the strap is securely attached to the binoculars by pulling the strap.
   • The strap length can be adjusted accordingly with your preference. It is best to provide enough slack in the strap for easy adjustment (Fig. 5-2).
   CAUTION: Do not pull the strap in the direction perpendicular to the top of the uni-barrel.
