Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell® Engage binoculars.

This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how you can adjust the binocular to your
eyes, and how to care for this instrument. Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular.

Eyecup Adjustment

Your Bushnell Engage binocular is tted with twist-up eyecups that provide a comfortable
view of the full image and help to exclude extraneous light. For use without eyeglasses or
sunglasses, twist the eyecups up, rotating the eyecups counter-clockwise until they lock
into the fully “up” position (Fig. 1).

If you are wearing glasses, start with the eyecups in the “down” position- this will bring
your eyes closer to the binocular’s ocular lenses, allowing you to see the full eld of
view. To lower the eyecups from the full “up” position, rotate them clockwise (Fig. 2). The
eyecups may also be set to a position midway between fully up and fully down, which
may suit some individuals better.

Fig. 1 Eyecup in “Up” Position

(for use without eyeglasses)

IPD (Interpupillary Distance) Adjustment

The spacing between the pupils of your eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from
person to person.
To match your binoculars to your IPD:

1. Point them at a white wall or blank area of the sky. Hold the binoculars and view
through them as you normally would. Don’t worry about focus yet.

2. Grasp each side of the binocular rmly. Move the left and right sides closer together
or farther apart (Fig. 3, next page) until you see a single image with no shaded areas.

Focus and Diopter Adjustment

1. First, adjust the eyecups and IPD as described in the previous sections.

2. Using the attached lens cap or your hand, cover the objective lens on the right side of the binocular.

3. Using the center focus knob, focus on a distant object with ne detail (e.g., brick wall, tree branches, etc) until
it appears as sharp as possible when viewed through the left side of the binocular.

4. Uncover the objective lens on the right side, and cover the left objective lens while continuing to view the
same object.

5. Unlock the diopter adjustment ring (located directly below the right eyecup), by pulling it straight up (Fig. 4,

“UNLOCKED”). This may be easier if you twist the right eyecup up rst (if you wear glasses, you can return the
eyecup to the down position after unlocking the diopter ring).

6. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring (NOT the center focus knob) to bring the object into focus in the right side
of the binocular. Avoid over-turning or forcing the diopter mechanism. If you are unable to bring the object
into focus for your right eye by adjusting the diopter ring, make sure the left side is still in focus (repeat steps
#3-6 if necessary). The diopter adjustment essentially provides “ne focus” on one side of the binocular (right
only) to allow for slight dierences in the vision of your left and right eyes.

6

7. Once the diopter adjustment ring is set for your eyesight, push the ring back down to lock it in place (Fig. 4,
“LOCKED”).

8. Your binocular should now be adjusted for your eyes. Focusing for any distance can now be done simply by
turning the center focus knob. Make a note of your diopter setting (position of red index mark on diopter ring
relative to plus and minus marks below the ring) for future reference.

Neckstrap Attachment

To attach the neckstrap, thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap
lug (Fig. 5) on each side of the binocular (start at the bottom of the channel
and push the strap up through the top as shown), then back through the
plastic buckle on the strap (Fig. 6). Adjust the position of the binoculars
on your chest as they hang around your neck to your preference, by
changing the length of the strap section which passes through the strap
channel and buckle by an equal amount on each side. If you prefer to use
an aftermarket strap that has metal O-rings, attach them to a plastic zip
tie placed on the strap lugs rather than installing them directly on the lug,
to avoid damaging the nish on the binocular via contact with the rings.

Fig. 6 Strap & Buckle

Objective Lens Covers

When using your Engage binoculars, ip open the objective lens covers
(Fig. 7). To prevent accidental loss, the covers are tethered to (removable)
rubber security rings. When you are nished using the binoculars, put the
covers back in place to protect the binocular’s lenses.

Tripod Mounting

To attach the binocular to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise)
the “B” logo cap which covers the threaded socket at the far end of the center
hinge (Fig. 8), and set it aside in a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod
adapter accessory, such as the Bushnell model #161001CM, to attach your Engage
binocular to any standard tripod in a horizontal position to provide a stable image
during prolonged viewing.

Waterproof/Fogproof

Your Bushnell Engage binocular has been designed and built utilizing the latest
waterproof and fogproof technology. The binoculars are O-ring sealed for complete
moisture protection. Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging
that removes all internal moisture. Bushnell’s patented EXO™ Barrier lens coating
prevents external fogging, for a clear view even in poor weather.

Care of the Optics

Your Bushnell Engage binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it
receives the normal care you would give any ne optical instrument.

1. Avoid sharp impacts. Set the binocular down gently on hard surfaces.

2. Tug on the strap after attaching it to make sure it is securely fastened to the
binocular before placing it around your neck.

3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place whenever possible.

Cleaning

1. First, blow or brush away any dust or debris on the lens (using “canned air” or a soft lens brush).

2. To remove dirt or nger prints, clean with the supplied soft storage bag (made of washable micro-ber cloth),
rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth (including paper towels) or unnecessary rubbing may
scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included storage bag/micro-ber cloth
is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of
moisture, then gently rub the lens with the micro-ber cloth.

3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic lens cleaning uid or isopropyl
alcohol may be used. Always apply the uid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

4. To prevent potential damage to the optical coatings on the binocular’s lens surfaces, never use household
window cleaning liquids, and avoid using facial tissue or clothing that may have bers which can be abrasive
and hold oils or dirt.

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR BINOCULAR,
AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES

Nous vous remercions de nous avoir fait conance en achetant les nouvelles jumelles Bushnell® Engage.

Ce manuel vous expliquera comment régler les jumelles à votre vue, ainsi que l'entretien de cet instrument, an de vous
permettre d'obtenir une expérience visuelle optimale. Avant d'utiliser vos jumelles, veuillez lire ces instructions attentivement.

Ajustement de l'œilleton

Vos jumelles Bushnell Engage sont équipées de deux œilletons rotatifs pour votre confort
visuel et pour vous protéger de la lumière extérieure. Pour les utilisateurs sans lunettes de
vue ou de soleil, pivotez les œilletons dans le sens contraire des aiguilles d'une montre jusqu'à
cequ'ils se bloquent en position «haute» (Fig. 1).

Si vous portez des lunettes, vériez que les œilletons sont en position «basse», ce qui vous
permettra de rapprocher vos yeux des lentilles oculaires des jumelles et d'avoir un champ de
vision parfait. Pour abaisser les œilletons à partir de la position « haute », faites-les pivoter dans
le sens des aiguilles d'une montre (Fig. 2). Les œilletons peuvent également être réglés sur une
position intermédiaire, entre la position haute et la position basse, pouvant mieux convenir
àcertains utilisateurs.

Fig. 1 Œilleton en position «haute»

(pour une utilisation sans lunettes)

Ajustement de l'écart inter-pupillaire

La distance entre les deux yeux, également appelé « écart inter-pupillaire », varie d'une
personne à l'autre.
Pour que vos jumelles soient parfaitement adaptées à la distance entre vos deux yeux:

1. Orientez-les vers un mur blanc ou une partie blanche dans le ciel. Regardez dans vos jumelles

comme vous le feriez normalement. Ne vous préoccupez pas encore de la mise au point.

2. Tenez les jumelles de chaque côté fermement. Rapprochez ou éloignez les côtés gauche

et droit (Fig. 3, page suivante) jusqu'à ce que vous puissiez voir une seule image sans zone
d'ombre.

Fig. 4 Bague de réglage de la dioptrie

Ajustement de la dioptrie et mise au point

1. Ajustez tout d’abord les œilletons et l’écart inter-pupillaire en suivant les instructions des sections précédentes.

2. À l’aide du cache objectif intégré ou de votre main, couvrez l’optique droit des jumelles.

3. À l’aide de la roulette de mise au point, faites la mise au point sur un objet lointain doté de nombreux détails

(parexemple un mur de briques, la branche d’un arbre, etc.) jusqu’à ce que celui-ci soit le plus net possible lorsque
vous regardez dans la partie gauche des jumelles.

4. Retirez le cache de la lentille droite et couvrez la lentille gauche tout en continuant d’observer le même objet.

5. Déverrouillez la bague de réglage de la dioptrie (située directement sous l’œilleton droit), en tirant vers le haut

(Fig.4, «DÉVERROUILLÉE»). Cette opération peut être simpliée en tournant d’abord l’œilleton droit (si vous portez
deslunettes, vous pouvez replacer l’œilleton en position basse après avoir déverrouillé la bague de dioptrie).

6. Tournez la bague de réglage de la dioptrie (NE PAS tourner la roulette centrale de mise au point) pour mettre

aupoint l’objet sur le côté droit des jumelles. Évitez de trop tourner ou de forcer sur le mécanisme de dioptrie.
Sivousne parvenez pas à régler la bague de dioptrie pour mettre au point l’objet pour votre œil droit, assurez-vous
que le côté gauche est toujours mis au point (recommencez les étapes 3 à 6 si nécessaire). Le réglage de la dioptrie ore
essentiellement une «mise au point précise» d’un côté des jumelles (droit uniquement) pour permettre de légère
diérences de vision entre votre œil droit et votre œil gauche.
