A NEW TAKE ON WHAT HARD-CORE HUNTERS DEMAND.

World-Class Optics and Heightened Durability.

With light transmission, clarity and ruggedness as top priorities, we set out to build the ultimate hunting binoculars. The XLT series was born, with a new housing material that’s both durable and comfortable to use —­and environmentally responsible. Fully multicoated optics and BaK-4 prisms work together to deliver ultra-bright, razor-sharp images through the most critical periods of game movement. And the tough, streamlined Dura-Grip rubber armored housing is O-ring sealed and nitrogen purged for 100% waterproof/fogproof dependability. Soft-touch thumbgrips further improve handling ease, and the objective lenses are well protected from the elements by flip covers.

Enviro-Friendly. From the lead & arsenic free EF glass to the new Dura-Grip rubber, all Trophy XLT binoculars are made with environmentally friendly materials.

Fast Focus. Because every second counts when you’re tracking wild game, the focus wheel moves from near to far with increased speed, while retaining the accurate precision you need.

Flip Objective Covers. Attached, hinged protective lens caps keep you ready to glass an area quickly without fumbling with removable caps that can get left in the mud.

Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell Trophy® XLT 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 these instructions carefully before using your binocular.

EYE ADJUSTMENTS

How to Adjust for Distance Between Your Eyes

The 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 firmly. Move the barrels closer together or further apart until you see a single circular field. 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 Trophy XLT 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.

EYECUP ADJUSTMENT

Your Bushnell Trophy XLT binocular is fitted 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.

6

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 field of view. To lower the eyecups from the full “up” position, rotate them clockwise. The eyecups may also be left at positions “in between” fully up and fully down, which may suit some individuals better.

FOCUSING

1.Adjust the interpupillary distance by adjusting the center hinge until you see a single circular image.

2.The diopter adjustment ring is located directly below the right eyecup. Make sure the diopter adjustment is set to “zero” for now (raised index tab on the diopter ring is lined up with center mark on the binocular). Keep both eyes open at all times.

3.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.

4.Using the center focus knob, focus on a distant object with fine detail (e.g., brick wall, tree branches, etc) until it appears as sharp as possible on the left side.

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

6.Rotate the 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. The diopter adjustment only affects the right side.

7.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 (index tab

position relative to the +/- scale) for future reference.

NECKSTRAP ATTACHMENT

Thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap lugs 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).

TRIPOD SOCKET

To attach the Trophy XLT to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the “B” logo cap which covers the threaded socket inside the center hinge, and set it aside in a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter, such as the Bushnell model #161001CM, (an accessory bracket, shown here, which attaches between the binocular and tripod) to attach your Trophy XLT to any standard tripod in a horizontal position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.

WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF

Your Bushnell Trophy XLT 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE

Your Bushnell Trophy XLT binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give any fine 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 finger prints, clean with the supplied micro-fiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included, washable “microfiber” 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 microfiber cloth.

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

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR BINOCULAR

AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES

UNE NOUVEAU POINT DE VUE DE CE QUE LES FERVENTS DE LA CHASSE EXIGENT.

Des optiques de qualité internationale et une durabilité accrue.

C’est en donnant la plus grande priorité à la transmission de la lumière, à la clarté et à la solidité que nous avons entrepris de construire les jumelles de chasse suprêmes. La série XLT est née, utilisant un nouveau matériau pour le boîtier, à la fois durable et confortable à utiliseret respectueux de l’environnement. Les lentilles, au revêtement entièrement multicouches, et les prismes BaK-4, s’allient pour fournir des images ultra-lumineuses et ultra-nettes pendant les périodes les plus critiques des mouvements du gibier. Et le boîtier solide, renforcé, profilé, revêtu de caoutchouc Dura-Grip, est isolé par un joint torique et purgé à l’azote pour obtenir 100% de fiabilité sur le plan de l’étanchéité et des propriétés antibuée. Un revêtement extérieur souple améliore encore plus leur maniement, et les lentilles de l’objectif sont efficacement protégées des éléments par des capuchons basculants.

French

Respectueuses de l’environnement. Du verre EF sans plomb ni arsenic, au nouveau caoutchouc Dura-Grip, toutes les jumelles Trophy XLT sont fabriquées avec des matériaux respectueux de l’environnement.

Mise au point rapide. Parce que chaque seconde compte lorsque vous traquez du gibier, la molette de mise au point se déplace du près au loin plus rapidement, tout en conservant la précision exacte dont vous avez besoin.

Capuchons de lentilles basculants. Les capuchons des lentilles attachés et basculants vous permettent de rapidement visionner un secteur sans tripoter des capuchons amovibles qui peuvent se perdre dans la boue.
