Basic OperatiOn
Adjust the eyecups
The eyecups on a Kaibab HD binocular twist up and down so any
viewer can see the full field and
enjoy comfortable viewing with
or without eyeglasses.
When not using eyeglasses or
sunglasses, keep the eyecups fully
extended. For the best viewing
when viewing through eyeglasses, twist eyecups down.
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
Distance between the centers
of the ocular lenses.
Rotate the binocular barrels
inward or outward to line your
eyes up with ocular lenses.

Properly focus the binocular
For the best views, follow this two-step process to properly adjust
the center focus and diopter. Choose an object that is about 20
yards away from you and stay in the same spot until you have
adjusted the binocular for your eyes.
1. Adjust the center focus—start
by closing your right eye or covering
the right objective lens with your
hand. Focus your left eye on the
object and adjust the center focus
wheel until the image is in focus.
Leave the center focus in this
position as you adjust the diopter.
2. Adjust the diopter—start by closing your left eye or
covering the left objective lens with your hand. Look through
your right eye and pull the diopter ring (found on the right
eyepiece) toward your eye to
unlock and adjust. Rotate the
diopter until the object is in
focus. Then, push the diopter
ring back down to lock your
settings. Make note of this
diopter setting in case you need
to set it again. From this point
on, you will only need to use the
center focus wheel.

Carry Case
The protective case of the Kaibab HD provides safe storage
between viewing sessions. The carry strap is already attached
to the case.
Lens Covers
The Kaibab HD 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
Securely attach your binocular to the binocular strap:
1. Thread the end of
strap from the bottom
up through the strap
attachment loop.
Note: Please do not thread a metal ring directly onto the strap
attachment loop when attaching rings or clips for other after-market
equipment. Instead, use nylon zip ties according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
2. Hold the buckle
and thread the end
of the strap through
the buckle.

3. Adjust overall strap
length then pull strap
webbing tight so it is
secure within the buckle.

Lens care
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Kaibab HD 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. If the optics are exposed
to moisture, keep the caps off and allow the optics to dry out
completely before putting them in the case for storage.
Keep lenses clean
In order to enjoy the best views through your binocular, take time to
regularly clean the exterior lenses:
• Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping. Use a
can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or an acrylic optical
brush.
• 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.
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.
