Orion® 4×21 Super Wide Binoculars
#09261
Adjusting the Distance Between Your Eyes
Hold each barrel firmly and move the two barrels together to match the distance between your eyes. You should see a single round field with both eyes. Make this adjustment before you focus.
Focusing
The binoculars feature a convenient permanent focus design. No focus adjustment is required when viewing objects, sports, and other targets within the range of distance noted in the binocular specifications.
Roll-Down Eyecups
The binoculars feature roll-down eyecups. The eyecups are usually left in the up position for use without eyeglasses. To use the binocular with eyeglasses, simply roll down the eye guard by folding down one side, then slide your fingers around to the opposite side of the eyepiece.
Cleaning and Care of Binoculars
The lens surfaces of Orion binoculars are coated with anti-reflection coatings that can be damaged with careless handling. Avoid touching surfaces with fingers or any coarse material. Most binoculars, eyepieces, and camera lenses are cared for in a similar manner. All optics, even if stored, must be cleaned approximately twice a year or whenever they are dirty. The dust that builds up on coatings promotes mold growth, which etches glass and destroys coatings. Avoid over-cleaning; it can damage the coatings. Always use lens cleaning tissue and fluid that are specifically designed for multi-coated lenses. Do not use fluids or tissue that are for eyeglass or household use.
To clean the binoculars, blow off the lens with a blower bulb to remove the larger particles. Make sure your hands are clean. Have several pieces of tissue ready. Put two drops of lens cleaning fluid on a piece of lens cleaning tissue (never on the lens). Gently wipe the dirt off the lens. Quickly wipe the excess with a new, dry piece of lens cleaning tissue. On larger lenses, clean only a small area at a time, using new tissue each time. On excessively dirty lenses, wipe across using one stroke for each tissue, alternating wet and dry. The more fresh, clean lens tissue you use, the less likely you are to scratch your lenses. Always avoid excessive pressure or rubbing. It is better to leave a tiny amount of dirt on the lens than to use too much pressure and destroy the coatings.
Storage and Cold Weather
All optics, when exposed to excessive temperature changes or high humidity, have the potential to fog up. Always allow the optics to slowly adjust to cold weather by storing the instrument (in its case) in a cold area such as an unheated garage or the trunk of a car for a few hours before use. When bringing the instrument back inside a warm house, store it in a cool area for one to two hours. It is very important to then open up the case, remove the instrument, then remove the caps, and let everything dry out overnight. The instrument should be stored in a cool dry place; storing it in a moist environment will result in mold growth and destroy the optics. This is not covered by warranty.
WARNING Never look directly at the Sun through your binoculars without professionally made solar filters, even for an instant, or permanent eye damage could result. Young children should use these binoculars on sunny days only with adult supervision.
