How To Use

To ensure the maximum performance of the binoculars, you must first adjust them to your own visual acuity.
This is achieved by adjusting the eyecups and interpupillary distance, setting the diopter, and adjusting the focus. Image visibility differs according to your physical condition, surrounding environment, and weather conditions.

1. Adjusting the eyecups
   This binocular features multi-step twist-up eyecups to provide proper eye relief for use with or without eyeglasses. If you do not wear eyeglasses, extend the eyecups to the desired position by turning them counterclockwise. If you wear eyeglasses, twist the eyecups down so that they sit flush with the ocular lens of the binoculars. * Set the eyecups at the best position for your eyes.

2. Adjusting the interpupillary distance
   The distance between the pupils of your eyes is the interpupillary distance. To see a single image, the binoculars must be set such that center of the ocular lenses are the same distance apart as your pupils.To adjust the interpupillary distance, look through the binoculars at an object in the distance and move the two barrels closer to or farther away from each other until the two circular images become one.

3. Adjusting the diopter
   To adjust for the difference of visual acuity between your right and left eyes, the diopter adjustment ring on the right barrel of the binoculars must be adjusted.
   Adjusting the diopter will provide you with a crisp sharp image every time you use your binoculars.
   A. Left Eye Adjustment
   Select a motionless object and cover the right objective lens with your hand. Look through the left ocular lens with your left eye and turn the focus knob until your left eye is focused on the object you have chosen.
   B. Right Eye Adjustment
   Cover the left objective lens with your hand and look through the right ocular lens with your right eye (use the same object used for left eye adjustment).
   Turn the diopter ring until the image is in focus. Your binoculars are now set to your eyesight.

4. Focusing
   To make focus adjustments, simply turn the focus knob while viewing through both barrels.

Attaching The Neck Strap

Attaching the Neck Strap
Attach and secure the neck strap as illustrated in figures 1 through 4.

• Verify that the adjuster is facing the direction shown in figure 6. If the adjuster is not facing the correct direction, the strap can slip out of the adjuster and the binoculars could fall.
  Check that the strap is attached correctly every time you use your binoculars.

• Adjust the length of A in figure 4 (length of excess strap) so that it is at least four centimeters.
  If the length is less than four centimeters, the strap can slip out of the adjuster and the binoculars could fall. Check the length of A every time you use your binoculars.
