Customizing the hurri Cane
Adjust the eyecups
The soft, rubber eyecups on a Hurricane binocular provide comfort,
folding up and down for viewing with or without eyeglasses.
For the best viewing
through eyeglasses, fold
the eyecups down. When
not using eyeglasses or
sunglasses, keep the
eyecups fully extended.
Adjust the interpupillary distance
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the centers of
the left and right eye pupils. Match the IPD of your eyes to that of the
binocular so that you see a single image that is free of shading.
IPD
IPD is the distance between the
centers of the ocular lenses.
Rotate the binocular barrels
inward or outward to line your
eyes up with the ocular lenses.
Individual Focus Eyepieces
The individual focus system allows you to adjust each eye independently
of the other—allowing for extremely precise focus adjustments. This
focus system is ideal for viewing distant objects because, once focused,
there is little need to focus again.
Focus each eyepiece separately
Close one eye and rotate the diopter ring on the eyepiece for the
opposite eye until the image is sharp. Repeat the process for the
second eye and eyepiece.
The diopter ring on
each eyecup rotates
so you can adjust
each eyepiece
independently.

Carry Case
The protective Hurricane case
provides safe storage between
viewing sessions—carry strap
already attached to the case.
Lens Covers
The Hurricane comes with a
rainguard for the ocular lenses and tethered objective lens covers. Use
these covers to protect the lenses whenever you are not viewing.
Neckstrap
Thread the strap through the rainguard and attach to the Hurricane in
three simple steps:
1. Push a few inches of
the strap through the
strap attachment on the
binocular.
2. Hold the buckle
and thread the end of
the strap through the
buckle.
3. Adjust the overall
length, then pull the tight
until strap secured within
the buckle.
Caution: Binoculars are not intended for looking at the sun, or any other
intense light source. Such viewing could damage the retina and cornea of your
eyes—even to the point of causing blindness.
Note: If using another type of strap, never attach metal O-rings directly onto
the strap attachment.
Lens Care
the ViP Warra nt y
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Hurricane binocular by keeping
lens surfaces free of dirt, oils, and dust.
Protect lenses while out in the field
Make use of the provided eyepiece and objective lens covers to protect
the lenses when not viewing. Then, store the Hurricane in its carry
case between viewing sessions.
Keep lenses clean
In order to enjoy the best views through your Hurricane binocular,
take time to regularly clean the exterior lenses:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping. Use a can
of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or an acrylic optical brush.
2. Clear lenses of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil. Fog the
lenses with your own breath, then use a non-abrasive lens cloth to
clean the lenses.
Note: Use lens cleaning fluid and
optical paper to clean lenses. Never use
facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel
clothing on lenses—these materials can
scratch the surface of a lens.
