b) Focusing
• Ensure that the dioptre adjustment (2) is set to zero (the point must be positioned directly
at 0).
• Look through the binoculars and target a distant object.
• Close your right eye or cover the right lens using your hand.
• Turn the focus knob (1) until the targeted object comes into focus in your left eye.
• Open your right eye and close your left eye (or cover the left lens).
• Turn the dioptre adjustment (2) on the right eyepiece until the targeted object comes into focus
in your right eye. Look at the plus/minus markings on the bottom of the right eyepiece (3) and
take note of the set position.
You may need to readjust the eyepieces if you have not used the binoculars for an
extended period.
• The binoculars are now ready to use. Use the focus wheel to fine-tune the focus.
If you are wearing glasses, fold over the eye cups to bring your eyes closer to the
lenses and use the entire field of view.
Important
• Observing other people without their knowledge and consent may make you liable to
prosecution.
• Do not use the binoculars when you are moving, as you may not notice obstacles in front of
you and could fall over them.
• Condensation may form on the lenses if the binoculars are exposed to rapid changes in
temperature. This is normal – the condensation will usually disappear within an hour in warm
rooms.
• The binoculars can be used in the rain. However, they must not be immersed in water. Wipe
water droplets off immediately using a cleaning cloth.
Dry the binoculars after use and store them carefully in the storage bag provided to
