Caution
Binoculars are not intended for looking at the sun or other
intense light sources. Such viewing could damage the retina and
cornea of your eyes—even to the point of causing blindness.
Keep the eyecups fully extended
if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses
or sunglasses. For the best views
when wearing eyeglasses, fold the
eyecups down.
Adjust the interpupillary distance
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the
centers of the left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an IPD.
To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular until
its IPD aligns with your eyes.

Adjust the eyecups
Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses. Simply
fold the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view.
Rotate the binocular barrels
inward or outward to align the
ocular lenses with your eyes.
The IPD of a binocular is the
distance between the center of
the left and right ocular lens.

Focus your binocular
The individual focus system allows you to adjust each eye
independently of the other—resulting in 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
1. Close the right eye and rotate the diopter ring on the
left eyepiece until the image is sharp.
2. Close the left eye and rotate the diopter ring on the
right eyepiece until the image is sharp.
Accessories
Use the provided eyepiece rainguard and tethered objective
lens covers to protect lenses when you are not using your
binocular. Between viewing sessions, safely store your
binocular in the case. Note: If the optics are exposed to
moisture, keep the covers off and allow the optics to dry out
completely before putting them in the case for storage.
Neckstrap
Securely attach the binocular strap to your binocular:
1. Thread the end of
the strap from the
bottom up through
the strap attachment
loop.
3. Adjust the overall
length and pull the
strap webbing tight so
it is secure within the
buckle.
2. Hold the buckle
and thread the end
of the strap inside
the buckle.
Note: Please do not thread a metal ring directly onto the strap
attachment loop when attaching rings or clips for other aftermarket equipment. Instead, use nylon zip ties according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Adjust each eyepiece
until the image is sharp.

Len s ca r e
Follow this two-step process to gently clean the exterior
lenses of your binocular.
1. Blow away any dust or grit before wiping the lens.
Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or
acrylic optical brush.
2. Gently remove smudges, fingerprints, and eyelash
oil from the lens. Use a small amount of water or your
breath to moisten the lens then wipe away smudges with
a clean lens cloth. Isopropyl alcohol can help remove
marks like fingerprints.
Note: Avoid over-scrubbing lenses and always use a clean
lens cloth—replace the dirty lens cloth with a new, clean
lens cloth. Please do not use facial tissue, heavy cotton,
or flannel cloth on the lenses because these materials can
scratch the lens surface.
