Congratulations on the purchase of your new Bushnell binocular. The Spectator Sport Zoom
features multi-coated optics and high performance BaK-4 porro prisms to maximize available
light and produce images with the highest level of edge-to-edge clarity. The wide zoom
range (from 8 to 24 power) lets you take in the entire scene or zero in on a distant detail.
This precision viewing system is contained in a lightweight (only 10.8 oz), well balanced
binocular that’s stylish and easy to use. A clear, stadium-approved carrying case is included.

This manual will help you optimize performance by explaining how to adjust the binocular
for your eyes, using features and accessories, and how to care for this fine optical instrument.
Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular.

How to Adjust Inter-Pupillary Distance

The width between the eyes, called “inter­pupillary distance” (IPD), varies from person
to person. To set the binocular for your eye
spacing, follow these simple steps:

1. Hold your binocular normally, with the
eyepieces close to your eyes.

2. Rotate (lightly push/pull) the swiveling eyepieces inward (closer together) or
outward (further apart) (Fig. 1), until you see a single circular field when viewing
through the binocular. 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 Spectator Sport
Zoom binocular has a diopter adjustment dial, which allows you to fine-tune the binocular
to your own vision. Follow the focusing instructions below.

FOCUSING

1. Adjust the IPD as described in “How to Adjust
Inter-Pupillary Distance” (Fig. 1) until you see a single

circular image.

2. The Diopter Adjustment Ring (Parts Guide, A) is
located on the right side, directly below the eyecup.

3. Make sure the diopter adjustment is set to “zero”
to start, by rotating the ring until the index arrow
on the ring (Fig. 2, a) is pointing to the white “dot”
mark between the “

+” and “--” diopter marks on the

binocular.

4. Keep both eyes open at all times.

5. Using the lens cap or your hand, cover the objective (front) lens of the right side of

the binocular.

6. Using the central Focus Knob (B), focus on a distant object with fine detail (e.g.,

(Fig. 1)

a

b

(Fig. 2)

3 4

brick wall, tree branches, etc.), until it appears as sharp as possible through the left
side of the binocular.

7. Uncover the objective lens on the right side, then cover the left objective lens, and
view the same object.

8. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring to focus the same distant object in the right
side. Avoid over turning or forcing the diopter mechanism-if you are unable to
bring the object into focus with the diopter adjustment, make sure the left side is still
focused correctly with the center knob. The diopter adjustment only affects the right
side.

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 for your eyesight (how far the index arrow is now in the “

+” or “--” direction)

for future reference.

USING THE ZOOM

The Spectator Sport Zoom allows you to zoom from a standard binocular power with a
view magnified by 8x, up to a highly magnified 24x image (objects appear 24 times
closer). Simply slide the Zoom Lever (C) from “8x” on the Zoom Scale (D) to “24x”, or stop
at any setting in between, choosing the viewing power or magnification you prefer for
your subject. Note: if you focus the binocular with the zoom set to 24x, there will be less need

to refocus when “zooming down” to lower power settings. Zooming from low to high power
will typically require some re-adjustment of the focus knob.

EYECUP ADJUSTMENT

Your Bushnell Spectator Sport Zoom binocular is fitted with Twist-up Eyecups

(E)

designed
for your comfort and to exclude extraneous light. For users without eyeglasses, rotate the
eyecups counter-clockwise until they lock into the fully “up” position. If you wear glasses,
make sure the eyecups are in the fully down position- this will bring your eyes closer to
the binocular lens, allowing you to see the full field of view. To lower the eyecups from the
full “up” position, rotate them clockwise. It is also possible to set the eyecups to a middle
position “in between” fully up and fully down, which may suit some individuals better.

NECKSTRAP

To attach the neckstrap, thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap lugs (Fig. 2,
b) on each side of the binocular, then back through the plastic buckle. 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 portion which passes through the lug and buckle by an
equal amount on each side.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE

Your Bushnell Spectator Sport Zoom binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if
it receives the normal care you would give any fine optical instrument.

• Avoid banging and dropping.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

LENS CLEANING

To clean the optics of your binocular without risk of scratching the glass or damaging the
anti-reflective coatings, follow these steps:

1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lenses, using a soft, clean lens brush.

2. After loose dust/debris has been removed, remove skin oil or finger prints if

necessary by breathing on the lens and wiping off the condensation with a microfiber
cloth, rubbing gently in a circular motion. Use of a coarse textured/soiled cloth (shirt
tail, paper towel, etc.) or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and
eventually cause permanent damage.

3. If a more thorough cleaning is needed, photographic lens tissue and photographic­type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl (not rubbing) alcohol may be used. Always apply
the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

Comment ajuster la distance interpupillaire

La distance entre les yeux, également appelée «
distance interpupillaire », varie d’une personne
à l’autre. Pour régler les jumelles à l’écartement
de vos yeux, suivez ces étapes simples :

1. Tenez vos jumelles normalement, en
approchant les oculaires de vos yeux.

2. Faites tourner (tirez/poussez légèrement)
les oculaires pivotant vers l’intérieur (l’un vers l’autre) ou vers l’extérieur (éloigné l’un
de l’autre) (Fig. 1), jusqu’à ce que vous ne voyiez plus qu’un seul champ circulaire
lorsque vous regardez dans les jumelles. Remettez 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 Spectator Sport
Zoom sont équipées d’un dispositif de réglage dioptrique qui vous permettra de régler les
jumelles à votre vue de manière très précise. Suivez les instructions ci-dessous pour régler
la mise au point.

MISE AU POINT

1. Ajustez la distance interpupillaire comme indiqué
dans le paragraphe « Comment ajuster la distance
interpupillaire » (Fig. 1) jusqu’à ce que vous ne
voyez plus qu’un seul champ circulaire.

2. La molette de réglage dioptrique (A, dans le guide des
pièces) est située sur le côté droit, directement sous les
œilletons.

3. Pour commencer, assurez-vous que le réglage
dioptrique est positionné sur « zéro » en faisant
tourner la molette jusqu’à ce que la flèche (Fig.2, a) pointe le « point » blanc situé

entre le « + » et le « -- ») sur les jumelles.

4. Gardez les deux yeux ouverts pendant la durée du réglage.

5. Couvrez, à l’aide de votre main, la lentille (avant) d’objectif du côté droit des
jumelles.
