A. How to Adjust Distance Between Eyepieces

For best viewing, the binoculars should be adjusted for the individual user so that the
eyepieces line up with the user’s eyes:

1. Hold the binoculars in a normal viewing position.

2. Grasp each barrel firmly. While looking through the binoculars, move the barrels until

you see a single circular field of view. Reset the binoculars to this position each time
you use them. The eye distance setting is indicated on the scale located on the

binocular hinge.

B. Diopter Setting and Central Focusing

1. Set the right eyepiece (1) to zero and look at a distant object.

2. Keeping both eyes open, cover the right objective (front) lens with your hand, then

adjust the center focus wheel (2) until the image in the left eyepiece appears sharp.

3. Cover the left objective (front) lens with your hand, then rotate the right eyepiece until

the image appears sharp again.

4. Diopter setting is now correct for your eyes, and you need only adjust the center focus

to view objects at different distances. Note this diopter setting for future use.

C. Roll-down Eyecups

To use binoculars while wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses, roll down the eyecups. This
will allow you to bring your eyes close to the binoculars for an improved field of view.

D. Floating Strap

Prior to water activities, make sure the floating strap is securely attached to the binocu­lars. This strap is designed to keep the binoculars afloat if they are dropped into the

water.

E. Instructions for Care

1. For best results, always store the binoculars in their case.

2. Clean lenses with a soft, lintless cloth when needed.

3. Any remaining dirt or smudges can be removed by adding a drop or two of isopropyl

alcohol to the cloth.

4. After exposure to saltwater, rinse binoculars in fresh water to prevent damage from

corrosion.

5. Store binoculars in a dry area.

Very Important

It is not necessary to clean binoculars internally. Attempting to take binoculars apart or
clean them internally will result in damage.

Caution

Do not use this product to view the sun. Looking directly into the sun, with or without
binoculars, can cause permanent eye damage.
