What's in the Box
Upon opening the package, please ensure all items are present:
- Kenko VT-0718PR V-TEX 7x18 Binoculars (Main Unit)
Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the binoculars from their packaging.
- Adjusting Interpupillary Distance: Hold the binoculars with both hands and look through the eyepieces. Bend the binoculars at the hinge until you see a single, clear circular field of view. This adjusts the distance between the eyepieces to match the distance between your eyes.
- Initial Focus: While looking through the binoculars, use the center focus wheel to bring a distant object into sharp focus.

Operating Instructions
- Holding the Binoculars: Grip the binoculars firmly but gently. For stable viewing, hold them with both hands.
- Focusing:
- Point the binoculars at the desired object.
- Rotate the central focus wheel until the image appears sharp and clear. The center focus type allows for simultaneous adjustment of both eyepieces.
- Viewing Tips:
- For extended viewing, try to brace your elbows against your body or a stable surface to minimize hand shake.
- Avoid looking directly at the sun through the binoculars, as this can cause severe eye damage.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics to clean the lenses. Gently wipe away dust or smudges. For stubborn marks, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Cleaning Body: Wipe the body of the binoculars with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the binoculars in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If possible, keep them in a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the binoculars or subjecting them to strong impacts, as this can misalign the optical components.
Troubleshooting
- Image is blurry or out of focus:
- Ensure the central focus wheel is properly adjusted for your vision and the distance to the object. Re-adjust the interpupillary distance if the field of view is not a single circle.
- Difficulty seeing a single image:
- Adjust the interpupillary distance by bending the binoculars at the hinge until the two fields of view merge into one clear circle.
- Dust or smudges on lenses:
- Clean the lenses carefully using a proper lens cleaning cloth and, if necessary, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for detailed instructions.
