How to use

Adjust the interpupillary distance by gently opening or closing the central hinge until a single circular field of view appears. Use the central focusing wheel to bring subjects into sharp focus; for binoculars with a diopter adjustment, first set the diopter to match the user’s eyesight using a distant fixed target and then use the central focus for general focusing. Hold the binoculars steady with both hands and, when possible, brace your elbows against your body or use a stable surface to reduce shake at higher magnifications. Store the binoculars in their protective case when not in use to protect lenses and mechanical parts.

Recommendations

For optimal daytime viewing, allow the eyes a moment to adapt after moving from dark to bright areas. Keep objective lenses clean and free of dust or smudges using a soft lens cloth; avoid touching lenses with fingers. When observing wildlife, use smooth, deliberate movements and allow subjects to acclimate to your presence rather than making sudden changes in position.
