The distance between the eyes is called interpupillary distance. To
obtain perfect alignment between lens and eye, follow these steps:

1. Hold the binocular in the normal viewing position.

2. Slide the left and right shells (A) together or farther apart until

you see one circular view. Before use, always reset the binoc­ular to this position.
