See what this new Legend is made of.

e new generation of Bushnell’s Legend binoculars has been redesigned with even higher-performance optics and a lighter, tougher body design-no wonder we call them

“Ultra•HD.” For the ultimate in detailed resolution and color delity, they’re engineered with high density ED Prime Glass. e razor-sharp optics are fully multicoated-

in fact, each lens is individually custom treated with our

new Ultra Wide Band Coating that optimizes brightness and contrast. New Rainguard® HD forces moisture to “bead up” tighter than ever, and even boosts light

transmission while ensuring foul weather or your own

breath will never cost you a view. We cut the weight by

adding a magnesium chassis, and enhanced comfort with

soft-touch grip accents on the rubber armored housing. A locking diopter maintains your settings. With class-

leading ﬁeld of view and extra-long eye relief, the latest chapter of the Legend covers more country with less eﬀort

than ever before.

ED Prime Glass. ED Prime Extra-Low Dispersion uorite glass delivers amazing color resolution and contrast, and virtually eliminates chromatic aberration and color-fringing to bring out the most distinct details possible in low-light conditions.

Ultra Wide Band Coating. An antireection coating process that is customized for every lens element in the optical path, in order to allow the best possible light from the front glass all the way back to the eyepiece. The result? Optimum brightness and true color across the light spectrum.

Rainguard® HD. This patented*, permanent, water-repellent coating causes moisture from rain, snow, sleet or condensation to bead up and scatter less light, so you get a clear, bright view when other optics would be rendered useless.

ank you for purchasing your new Bushnell Legend Ultra HD™ Binoculars.

is 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.

EYE ADJUSTMENTS

How to Adjust for Distance Between Your Eyes

e distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person.

To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eyes, follow these simple steps:

1. Hold your binocular in the normal viewing position.

2. Grasp each barrel rmly. Move the barrels closer

together or further apart (Fig. 1) until you see a single

circular eld. Always re-set your binocular to this position before using it.

How to Adjust for Individual Eye Strength

As individual eyesight varies from one person to another, your Bushnell Legend Ultra HD binocular has a diopter setting feature which allows you to ﬁne-tune the binocular to your

vision. Follow the focusing instructions on the next page.

Interpupillary Distance Adjustment

FOCUSING

1. Adjust the interpupillary distance (Fig. 1) until you see a single circular image.

2. e diopter adjustment ring is located directly below the right eyecup. To unlock the diopter adjustment, pull the ring straight up (Fig. 2). is may be

easier if you twist the right eyecup up ﬁrst (if you wear glasses, you can return

the eyecup to the down position after unlocking the diopter ring).

3. Make sure the diopter adjustment is set to “zero” (Index mark on diopter ring is lined up “0” on binocular). Keep both eyes open at all times.

4. Using the attached lens cap or your hand, cover the objective (front) lens on the right side of the binocular as you look into the eyepieces.

5. 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 on the left

side.

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

7. Rotate the unlocked diopter adjustment ring 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 in the right side by adjusting the diopter ring, make sure the left side is still focused and that the center focus knob was not moved from its original setting. e diopter adjustment only aects the right side.

8. Once the diopter ring is set for your eyesight, push the adjustment ring back down to lock it in place (Fig. 3).

9. 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 the diopter setting you made (dot on

the +/- scale of the diopter ring lined up with the index mark) for

future reference.

EYECUP ADJUSTMENT: (Fig. 4 and 5)

Your Bushnell Legend Ultra HD binocular is tted with twist-

up eyecups designed for your comfort and to exclude extraneous

light. For users without eyeglasses, twist the eyecups up, rotating the eyecups counter-clockwise until they lock into the fully “up”

position (Fig. 4). If you wear glasses, make sure the eyecups are in the down position- this will bring your eyes closer to the binocular

lens, allowing you to see the full eld of view. To lower the eyecups from the full “up” position, rotate them clockwise (Fig. 5). e eyecups may also be left at positions “in between” fully up and fully down, which may suit some individuals better.

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR BINOCULAR

AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES

NECKSTRAP /HARNESS ATTACHMENT :

(Fig. 6 and 7)

A short length of strap, ending in a “D-ring”, is pre-attached to the binocular. is saves you the trouble of threading a

strap through the lugs, but more importantly, it provides a convenient, fast and secure means of attaching either the

standard neckstrap, or the bonus shoulder harness. Simply clip the “J-hooks” at the end of either one onto the short binocular strap’s D-ring (Fig. 6). is system makes it easy

to switch from the regular strap to the weight distributing

harness when you’ll be out all day or carrying other gear. To

use the harness, put your arms through the side loops ﬁrst, then attach the binocular (Fig. 7).

TRIPOD SOCKET : (Fig. 8)

To attach the Legend Ultra HD to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the “B” logo cap which covers

the threaded socket inside the center hinge (Fig. 8), and set

it aside in a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter, such as the Bushnell model #161001CM, (an

accessory bracket, shown below, which goes between the binocular and tripod) to attach your Legend Ultra HD to

any standard tripod in a horizontal position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.

WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF

Your Bushnell Legend Ultra HD binocular has been designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof and fogproof technology. e binoculars are O-ring sealed for complete moisture protection. Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal moisture.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE

Your Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 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. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).

2. To remove dirt or nger prints, clean with the supplied micro-ber cloth rubbing in a circular motion.

Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent

damage. e included, washable“microber”cleaning 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-type lens cleaning uid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the uid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

La nouvelle génération des jumelles Bushnell Legend a été

reconçue avec une optique de plus haute performance et une conception de corps plus léger et plus résistant-nous

appelons ceci “Ultra HD”. Pour le maximum de résolution

de détails et de ﬁdélité des couleurs, ils ont conçus le Verre

de qualité supérieur ED à haute densité. Les optiques

pointus sont entièrement traités multi couches, chaque lentille est individuellement traitée avec notre nouveau

revêtement à bande ultra large qui optimise le contraste et la luminosité. Le nouveau Rainguard® HD provoque un “perlement” de l’humidité plus serré que jamais, et

même augmente la transmission lumineuse assurant une continuité de la vision qui pourrait être dégradée par le

mauvais temps ou même votre propre soue. Nous avons allégé en ajoutant un châssis en magnésium, et amélioré le

confort avec des bandes soft touch sur le boitier renforcé

en caoutchouc. Un dioptre de verrouillage conserve vos réglages. Avec un champ de vision de première classe et un

écart œil-anneau oculaire extra longue, le dernier Legend

couvre plus de terrain avec moins d’eort que jamais auparavant.

Verre de Qualité Supérieure ED à Très Faible Dispersion.Le Verre uorite de Qualité

Supérieure ED à Très Faible Dispersion restitue une étonnante résolution et contraste des couleurs, et élimine virtuellement les aberrations chromatiques pour faire apparaître le plus de détails possible dans des conditions lumineuses basses.

Couche à bande ultra large.Un procédé de recouvrement par une couche anti réexion qui est personnalisée à chaque élément de lentille dans l’optique, pour permettre le plus de lumière possible depuis le verre avant jusqu’à l’œilleton. Le résultat? Luminosité et couleur véritable maximales tout le long du spectre lumineux.

RainGuard® HD.Ce revêtement breveté*, hydrofuge provoque un perlement de l’humidité de la pluie, la neige, du verglas ou de la neige et diuse moins de lumière, vous avez donc une vision claire et lumineuse quand les autres optiques seraient devenus inutilisable.

Merci d’avoir fait l’acquisition des nouvelles jumelles Bushnell Legend Ultra HD™.

Ce manuel vous aidera à optimiser les performances de vos jumelles en vous indiquant comment les régler à votre vue et comment en prendre soin. Lisez ces instructions attentivement avant d’utiliser vos jumelles.

REGLAGES DES YEUX

Comment ajuster l’écart entre vos deux yeux

La distance entre les deux yeux, également appelée “écart inter pupillaire”, varie d’une personne à l’autre.

Pour que les yeux soient parfaitement en face des lentilles, suivez ces

quelques étapes très simples :

1. Tenez vos jumelles normalement, comme si vous regardiez au loin.

2. Tenez fermement chaque lunette. Rapprochez les lunettes ou éloignez-les l’une de l’autre (Fig.1) jusqu’à ce que vous puissiez voir un seul champ circulaire. Remettre toujours vos jumelles sur cette position avant de les utiliser.

Comment ajuster la dioptrie

La vue varie d’un individu à l’autre, c’est pourquoi vos jumelles Bushnell Legend Ultra HD sont équipées d’un dispositif d’ajustement dioptrique qui vous permettra de régler les jumelles à votre vue de manière précise. Suivre les instructions concernant la mise au point situées sur la page suivante.

Fig. 1

Réglage de l’écart inter pupillaire

MISE AU POINT

1. Régler l’écart inter pupillaire (Fig. 1) jusqu’à voir une image circulaire unique.

2. La bague de réglage dioptrique est située juste en dessous l’œilleton droit. Pour déverrouiller le réglage dioptrique, tirer la bague vers le haut (Fig.2). Ceci

peut être plus facile si vous tourner d’abord vers le haut l’œilleton droit (si vous

portez des lunettes, vous pouvez retourner les œilletons en position basse après le déverrouillage de la bague dioptrique).

3. S’assurer que le réglage dioptrique est sur “zéro” (l’index sur la bague dioptrique est aligné sur le “0” des jumelles). Gardez les deux yeux ouverts pendant la durée du réglage.

4. En utilisant les caches lentilles xés ou votre main, couvrir la lentille de focalisation (avant) sur le coté droit des jumelles en même temps que vous regarder dans les œilletons.

5. En utilisant la molette centrale faire la mise au point sur un objet lointain

doté d’une multitude de détails (par exemple un mur de briques, les branches

d’un arbre, etc.) jusqu’à ce que celui-ci soit le plus net possible sur le coté gauche.

6. Découvrir la lentille de focalisation sur le coté droit et couvrir la lentille de focalisation gauche tout en continuant de visualiser le même objet.

7. Tourner la bague déverrouillée du réglage dioptrique pour mettre au point l’objet sur le coté droit des jumelles. Eviter de trop tourner ou de forcer le mécanisme dioptrique. Si vous êtes dans l’incapacité de mettre au point l’objet
