Operation Precautions

CAUTION!

• If you use the rubber eyecups for a

long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If you develop any symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.

• Be careful not to pinch your finger

when adjusting interpupillary distance or diopter. Be particularly careful if you let small children use the binoculars. (Fig. 4)

• Do not leave the polyethylene bag

used for packaging within small children’s reach. Children may put it on their mouths and suffocate.

(Fig. 5)

• Be careful that small children do

not inadvertently swallow the cap or eyecup. If it does happen, consult a doctor immediately.

• Do not disassemble the binoculars.

Repairs should only be performed by a trained engineer. (Fig. 6)

OPERATION AND CONTROLS

1. Do not open the right and left binocular tubes beyond their limits. Also be careful not to rotate the diopter ring, focusing ring beyond their limits. (Fig. 7)

2. Avoid rain, water splashes, sand and mud. (Fig. 8) With waterproof binoculars, though some rain or splashed water will do no harm, wipe the water off as soon as possible.

3. Always protect binoculars from shock. If you cannot obtain a normal image after dropping or getting the binoculars wet, take them immediately to the shop where you purchased them.

(Fig. 9)

4. When exposed to sudden temperature changes, water condensation may occur on lens surfaces. In this case, thoroughly dry the binoculars at room temperature.

STORAGE

5. Water condensation or mold may occur on lens surfaces because of high humidity. Therefore, store the binoculars in a cool, dry place. After use on a rainy day or at night, thoroughly dry them at room temperature, then store in a cool, dry place.

6. For lengthy storage, keep binoculars in a plastic bag or an airtight container with a desiccant. If this is not possible, store in a clean, well-ventilated place, separate from the case, as they are easily affected by moisture. (Fig. 10)

7. Do not leave the binoculars in a car on a hot or sunny day, or near heat generating equipment. This may damage or negatively affect them. (Fig. 11)

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE

8. After having removed dust with a blower, clean the body surface using a soft, clean cloth. After use at the seaside, lightly soak a soft, clean cloth with water and wipe off salt that may be on the body surface. Then wipe the body surface with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other organic agents. (Fig. 12)

9. When removing dust on the lens surface, use a soft oil-free brush.

10. When removing stains or smudges like fingerprints, from the lens surfaces, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft clean cotton cloth or quality oil-free lens tissue. Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (not denatured) to wipe stubborn smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the lens surface. Once the cloth has been used for cleaning the body, it should not be used again for the lens surface. (Fig. 13)

11. Remove dust trapped in the focusing unit, diopter adjustment unit, or other rotating parts with a soft brush. (Fig. 14)

Interpupillary adjustment

While looking at a subject through the eyepieces, gently rotate the binocular body (a shown above)

so that the two circular viewnders become one

(as shown below).

You can adjust the two circular viewnders into

one even when the image is out of focus.

If the vieweld images are as shown above, the

optical axis has shifted. If your eyes become tired or you see two images for one target, it is recommended that you get your binoculars inspected.

Optical axis: The direction of the eyepiece tube (optical center). With binoculars, the optical centers of right and left tubes need to align.

Focusing ring

Conguration

Focusing ring

Diopter Adjustment

Focusing position

Diopter adjustment adjusts the balance of right and left eyesight. If more than one viewer uses the same binoculars, adjustment is necessary when a different person uses it.

If binoculars are used by one person only, readjustment of the diopter is unnecessary after it has been initially adjusted.

1 Push the focusing ring ① in and look into the left eyecup with

the left eye.

Then focus on a distant object by rotating the focusing ring①.

Middle position

Diopter adjustment

2 Pull out the focusing ring① two steps so that the diopter

adjustment ring ② becomes operable.

3 Look into the right eyecup with the right eye, then focus with the

right eye on the same target while rotating the diopter ring ②.

4 Check focusing on both eyes <Conrmation of diopter

adjustment>.

5 When in focus, push the focusing ring ① in to lock the diopter

ring ②.
