Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Meade®CaptureView®CV-1. CV-1 is an 8 x
22mm full-featured binocular. It is integrated with a digital camera that requires no
film to capture pictures or video. This manual is designed to quickly guide you
through the operation of your CaptureView CV-1. For best results, take a few
moments to become familiar with the operation of your device, and save the manual
for future reference.
CaptureView has the following features:
• Fully functional binocular.
• Capture pictures and video, and view them on your PC.
• Transfer pictures and video to your PC for easy printing and editing.
• E-mail pictures to your friends and family.
• LCD display panel indicates status for ease in performing desired operations.
Important Note: Images in the camera will be lost if the batteries are depleted or
if the batteries are removed for more than 60 seconds. Accordingly, change the
batteries when they run low. Images will be maintained in memory for
approximately 60 seconds when changing batteries.
To conserve battery life, remove batteries after downloading images to a
computer. There is continual battery drainage even when CaptureView is turned
off.
Be sure CaptureView is off before changing batteries.
WARNING! Never use a Meade binocular to look at the Sun! Looking at or
near the Sun will 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.

How to Use Your Binocular
If you want to... Do this...
Adjust Eye Relief
Fold down
Adjust the Barrels
You need to adjust the barrels, as the
distance between your eyes is usually
different than the distance between
another person’s eyes.
Barrel
Barrel
If you wear eyeglasses, fold down the
rubber eyecups and hold the
eyepieces up against your glasses.
1. Hold CaptureView up to your eyes in
the normal viewing position. Use
both hands to hold each barrel firmly.
2. Pull the barrels apart or push the
barrels together until you see a
single circular field with both of your
eyes.
