The eyecups on a Intrepid HD binocular twist up and down
so any viewer can see the full field and enjoy comfortable
viewing—with or without eyeglasses.
When not using eyeglasses or sunglasses,
keep the eyecups fully extended. For
the best viewing when viewing through
eyeglasses, twist eyecups down.
Adjust the interpupillAry distAnce
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the
centers of the left and right eye pupils. Match the IPD of your
eyes to that of the binocular so that you see a single image that
is free of shading.

properly focus the binoculAr
For the best views, follow this two-step
process to properly adjust the center
focus and diopter. Choose an object
that is about 20 yards away from you
and stay in the same spot until you have
adjusted the binocular for your eyes.
1. Adjust the center focus—start by closing your right eye
or covering the right objective lens with your hand. Focus
your left eye on the object and
adjust the center focus wheel until
the image is in focus. Leave the
center focus in this position as you
adjust the diopter.
2. Adjust the diopter—start by
closing your left eye or covering the left objective lens
with your hand. Lift the diopter ring to unlock and, looking
through your right eye, adjust the diopter so that the
object is in focus. Make note of this
diopter setting in case you need to
set it again. Push the diopter ring
down to lock—from this point on,
you will only need to use the center
focus wheel.
The Intrepid HD comes with a rainguard for the ocular lenses
and tethered objective lens covers. Use these covers to
protect the lenses whenever you are not viewing.

Caution: Binoculars are not intended for looking
at the sun, or any other intense light source. Such
viewing could damage the retina and cornea of your
eyes—even to the point of causing blindness.
Lens care
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Intrepid HD binocular
by keeping lens surfaces free of dirt, oils, and dust.
protect lenses while out in the field
Make use of the provided eyepiece and objective lens covers
to protect the lenses when not viewing. Then, store the
Intrepid HD in its carry case between viewing sessions.
keep lenses cleAn
In order to enjoy the best views through your Intrepid HD
binocular, take time to regularly clean the exterior lenses:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping. Use
a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or an acrylic
optical brush.
2. Clear lenses of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil. Fog
the lenses with your own breath, then use a non-abrasive lens
cloth to clean the lenses. Alternately, use a lens cleaning fluid
and optical paper to clean lenses.
Never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel
clothing on lenses—these materials can scratch the
surface of a lens.
