This binocular is a precision instrument designed to provide many years of pleasurable viewing. This booklet will help you achieve optimum performance by explaining how you can adjust the binoculars to your eyes, and how to care for this instrument. Read the instructions carefully before using your binoculars.
Eye Adjustments
HOW TO ADJUST FOR THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR EYES
The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance” (IPD), varies
from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of the lens to the eye,
follow these simple steps.
- Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing position.
- Grasp each barrel firmly. Move the barrels closer together or further apart until you see a single circular field. Always re-set your binoculars to this position before using them.
HOW TO ADJUST FOR INDIVIDUAL EYE STRENGTH
Human eyes are as individual as fingerprints. This binocular has a feature
that allows you to adjust the binocular to your vision. Follow the focusing
instructions for your binocular style.
Focusing
CENTER FOCUS has a central focusing wheel between the barrels.
- Adjust interpupillary distance (Figure 1)
- Keep both eyes “open” at all times.
- Using a lens cover or your hand, cover the objective (front) the lens of the side with the “diopter setting”
- Using the centre focus wheel, focus on the distance the object is being viewed.
- Cover the other objective lens, then view the same object as explained above. Using the “diopter setting” adjustment ring, focus on the same object being viewed.
- Caution should be used as over-turning or forcing the diopter eyepiece can damage or cause the eyepiece to break away from the chassis.
- Your binocular should be adjusted for your eyes Focus at both far and near distances can now be attained simply by turning the centre focus wheel.
Waterproof / Fog-Proof
Your binoculars may be designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof and
fog-proof technology. This binocular is O-ring sealed for complete protection.
Fog-proof protection is achieved by dry nitrogen purging to remove all
internal moisture.
Instructions For Care
If handled with care, this binocular will provide years of trouble-free service. Like any fine optical instrument, your binoculars should be given sensible care. Non-waterproof models should not be exposed to excessive moisture.
- Keep the lens covers (that comes with your binoculars, except for compact models) on the lenses when binoculars are not in use.
- Avoid banging and dropping.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Looking directly at the sun with your binoculars may be very harmful to your eyes.
Cleaning
- Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush)
- To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion.
- The use of coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage.
- For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth-never directly on the lens.
VERY IMPORTANT
Never attempt to clean your binoculars internally or try to take them apart.
