Usage Instructions

Adjusting the Inter pupillary Distance (IPD)

Bring your eyes up close to the rubber eyecups of the eyepieces.
Place your hands on the right and left prism boxes and slowly move the binoculars tubes farther or closer together to adjust the inter pupillary distance until both the right and left fields of view overlap to form a single circular image.

Adjusting Focus

Repeat the same process to adjust the focus for a new object.

Adjusting Elevation

Loosen the elevation locking lever to release the lock.
Place your hands on the grips of the binoculars and move them vertically to achieve the desired angle.
Once the desired angle has been set, lock it with the elevation locking lever.

Adjusting Azimuth

Loosen the azimuth locking lever (or in the case of the 15x80MT-SX, the pan fixing knob) to release the lock.
Place your hands on the grips of the binoculars and move them horizontally to achieve the desired angle.
Once the desired angle has been set, lock it with the azimuth locking lever (or in the case of the 15x80MT-SX, the pan fixing knob).

The turning positions of both the elevation locking and azimuth locking levers can be adjusted by pulling the lever outward and then rotating it to the desired position.
