of the long eye relief and enjoy comfortable, full-field viewing.
Adjusting 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 by rotating the binocular barrels inward or
outward until you see a single image that is free of shading.

Focusing the Binocular
Choose an object that is about 20 yards away from you and follow this two-step process to
properly adjust the focus. Be sure to stay in the same spot until you have adjusted both the
center focus and diopter.
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 adjust
the diopter (ring found on the right eyepiece) until the object is in focus.
Make note of this diopter setting in case you need to set it again.
