The interpupillary distance, or the distance
between the pupils, varies from person to
person. The binocular must be correctly aligned
(adjusted) to the distance between your pupils
to achieve a single, clear image. To adjust this
distance, lift the binocular up to your eyes (using
both hands) and look through them at an object
in the distance. Move the two barrels (halves)
of the binocular closer together or further
apart until you see a single, clear image (Fig.

2). Check that the interpupillary distance is set
correctly every time you use your binocular.

WARN ING: Viewing the Sun may cause permanent eye damage. Do not

view the Sun with your binoculars or even with the naked eye.

To ensure a crisp, sharp image the focusing
system of the binocular must be set to
compensate for any differences in your
eyesight. This is achieved by setting the diopter
(located on the right eyepiece) before use. To
set the binocular to your eyesight follow the
instructions below.

1. View an object in the distance through the
binocular.

2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand
or the objective lens cap.

3. Rotate the focus wheel until the image
viewed with your left eye is clear and sharp.

4. Cover the left objective lens with your hand
or objective lens cap.

5. Viewing the same object, rotate the right
eyepiece (the diopter) until the image viewed
with your right eye is clear and sharp.

6. Your binocular is now adjusted to your eyes
and focusing on any object can now be
achieved by simply turning the focus wheel.

TIp: Eyeglasses worn for nearsightedness should be worn when using

binoculars as you may not be able to obtain focus at infinity
without them.

The Cometron binoculars feature foldable
rubber eyecups to accommodate both eyeglass
and non-eyeglass wearers. If you do not wear
eyeglasses, leave the rubber eyecups in the
up position. If you wear eyeglasses, make sure
that the eyecups are folded down to obtain the
maximum field of view. When done observing,
make sure the rubber eyecups are in the up
position for storage.

tripod adaptability

care and storage

The Cometron binocular series feature built-in
threads that allow the binocular to be attached
to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter
(included with model #71199). These threads
can be accessed by unscrewing the logo plate
found on the front of the hinge (Fig. 5).
To attach the binocular to a tripod, thread the
adapter into the binocular and attach the other
end of the adapter to a photographic tripod.
Mounting the binocular on a tripod allows for
added stability and comfort during prolonged
viewing.

from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens

L’écart interpupillaire, ou la distance entre les
pupilles, varie d’une personne à l’autre. Les
jumelles doivent être correctement alignées
(ajusté) à la distance entre vos pupilles afin
de créer une seule image claire. Pour régler
cette distance, soulevez les jumelles jusqu’à vos
yeux (en utilisant les deux mains) et regardez à
travers eux un objet distant. Déplacez les deux
barillets (moitiés) des jumelles le plus près
possible ou éloigné jusqu’à ce que vous voyiez
une seule image claire (Fig. 2). Vérifiez que
l’écart interpupillaire soit défini correctement
chaque fois que vous utilisez vos jumelles.

AVERTISSEMENT: Ne jamais regarder le soleil pendant l’utilisation de vos jumelles.

Regarder vers le soleil peut causer des lésions oculaires permanentes.

rÉglage du dioptre/Focalisation

Afin d’assurer une image nette, le système de
focalisation de jumelles doit être réglé pour
compenser les différences éventuelles de votre
vision. Ceci est réalisé en réglant le dioptre
(situé sur l’oculaire droit) avant utilisation. Pour
régler les jumelles à votre vision, suivez les
instructions ci-dessous.

1. Visualisez un objet distant à travers les
jumelles.

2. Couvrez la lentille droite avec votre main ou
le capuchon d’objectif.

3. Tournez la molette de focalisation jusqu’à ce
que l’image avec votre œil gauche soit claire
et nette.

4. Couvrez la lentille gauche avec votre main ou
le capuchon d’objectif.

5. Visualisez le même objet, tourner l’oculaire
droit (la dioptrie) jusqu’à ce que l’image

affichée avec l’œil droit est claire et nette.

6. Les jumelles sont maintenant réglé pour vos
yeux et la focalisation de n’importe quel objet
peut maintenant être obtenue en tournant
simplement la molette de focalisation.

ASTucE: Les lunettes de vision pour la myopie devraient être portées lors

de l’utilisation de jumelles puisque vous ne pourrez peut-être
pas être en mesure d’obtenir la mise au point à l’infini sans
celles-ci.
