USING YOUR LEUPOLD BINOCULAR
Using your Leupold binocular is very simple. However, you must set them to
match your eyesight before use.
This is done by adjusting the interpupillary distance and focusing the
binoculars to your own visual acuity.
ADJUSTING INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE
The interpupillary distance is simply the distance between the pupils of your
eyes. To ensure a clear, single image, the binocular must be set so that the
center of each ocular lens is the same distance apart as your own pupils.
To set the interpupillary distance:
- Hold the binocular up to your eyes in the normal manner
- Look through the binocular with both eyes open.
- Move the two barrels (halves) up or down until you see a single, circular image.
SETTING THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
The diopter adjustment allows you to focus the binocular to your individual
eyesight. This is important, as a properly focused binocular will prevent eye
strain and provide you with a crisp, sharp image.
NOTE: The diopter adjustment on center focus models is located on the
center focus dial. Models utilizing an eyepiece diopter design will have the
diopter located on the right eyepiece.
TO SET THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT ON RIGHT EYEPIECE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT MODELS:
- View an object about 100 yards in the distance.
- Cover the right objective lens with your hand.
- Adjust the center focus wheel (located between the two barrels) until the image presented to your left eye is clear and sharp.
- Cover the left objective lens with your hand.
- Adjust the diopter adjustment dial located around the right barrel, near the eyepiece, until the image presented to your right eye is clear and sharp.
Your binocular is now focused for your eyesight. To make any adjustments in
the field, simply turn the center focus dial while viewing through both
barrels.
TO SET THE CENTER FOCUS DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT:
- Find an object roughly 100 yards away.
- Cover the right objective lens with your hand.
- Adjust the center focus wheel until the image you’re looking at with your left eye is clear and sharp.
- Switch and cover the left objective lens with your hand.
- Pull up on the diopter adjustment dial located on top of the center focus wheel. The diopter wheel should now spin freely.
- Rotate the diopter adjustment dial until the image your’re looking at with your right eye is clear and sharp.
- Push down on the locking diopter dial until it locks in place.
The binocular is now focused for your specific eyesight. You will need to use
the center focus wheel when glassing in the field.
CLEANING
You can clean the fully armored body by simply wiping off any accumulated dirt
or dust.
TO CLEAN LENSES
Leupold binoculars require minimal maintenance. To keep yours in working
order, occasionally blow on the exterior lenses or use a soft lens brush, such
as the one found on the Leupold LensPen®, to remove any dustor debris. To
remove fingerprints or water spots from the lenses, use a microfiber cloth or
the cleaning end ofthe Leupold LensPen. A lens tissue with cleaning fluid may
be used on stubborn dirt, but always apply the fluid directly to the cloth,
never to the lenses.
A NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WEAR EYEGLASSES
Leupold binoculars feature eyecups you can twist, or push up and down to
accommodate the eye relief distance required when wearing eyeglasses. Some
Leupold binocular models include swappable Form-Fit eyecups for an enhanced
viewing experience.
