Setup
- Attach the Neck Strap: Thread the neck strap through the strap lugs on the sides of the binoculars. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent accidental drops.
- Remove Lens Caps: Remove the objective lens caps (front lenses) and the eyepiece rainguard (rear lenses) before use.
- Adjust Eyecups: If you wear eyeglasses, twist down or fold back the rubber eyecups to bring your eyes closer to the binocular lenses. This ensures a full field of view. If you do not wear eyeglasses, leave the eyecups in the up position.
- Interpupillary Distance Adjustment: Hold the binoculars with both hands and look through them. Adjust the distance between the two barrels by moving them closer together or further apart until you see a single, clear circular field of view. This is your interpupillary distance.
Operating Instructions
Focusing Your Binoculars
- Select an Object: Choose a distant object to focus on.
- Center Focus: While looking through the binoculars, rotate the center focus wheel until the object appears sharp and clear. The Bushnell Pacifica features a convenient center focus system for quick adjustments.

Tripod Mounting
For extended viewing periods or to achieve maximum stability, especially with 20x magnification, your Bushnell Pacifica binoculars are tripod mountable. Locate the threaded socket on the front hinge of the binoculars. Remove the cap and attach a standard tripod adapter (sold separately) to mount the binoculars onto a tripod.
Maintenance
Cleaning Lenses
Use the included lens cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt or smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid designed for optics can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid using abrasive cloths, paper towels, or facial tissues, as these can scratch lens coatings.
Cleaning the Body
The rubber armored body can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the rubber coating.
Storage
When not in use, store your binoculars in the protective carrying case in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
