How To Use Your Binocular

How to use your binocular

Adjustment of eye-relief for eyeglass wearers

Fold down the rubber eyecups and place them against your glasses to
get the best viewing result.

Adjusting the eyepieces

The distance between your eyes is called interpupillary distance.
The interpupillary distance is different from one person to another.
It is important to adjust to your interpupillary distance before using
your VistaPix:

- Hold the VistaPix firmly in the normal viewing position.

- Adjust the barrels by pushing together or pulling apart until you see a
single circle field with both of your eyes.

Focusing the Binocular

1. Set the Diopter Knob on underside of VistaPix at its center
point between + and - .

2. Choose an object that is at least 10 meters (30 ft) away .

3. Looking with just your left eye, rotate the Center Focus Knob
until the object you are viewing is in best focus.

4. Looking with just your right eye, rotate the Diopter Knob until the
object you are viewing is in best focus.

5. Viewing your object with both eyes, turn the Center Focus Knob
to bring it in best focus.

WARNING !

Never use a VistaPix to look at the sun !

Looking at or near the Sun may cause instant and irreversible damage
to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to
the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Do not
point the binocular at or near the Sun.
Children should always have adult supervision while observing.
