Setup
1. Adjusting Eyecups for Eyeglass Wearers
The Occer 12x25 binoculars feature adjustable rubber eyecups. If you wear eyeglasses, pull down the rubber eyecups to bring your eyes closer to the lenses, ensuring a full field of view. This also provides comfortable viewing while wearing sunglasses or prescription glasses.
2. Adjusting Eyecups for Non-Eyeglass Wearers
If you do not wear eyeglasses, keep the eyecups in their raised position. This allows for a more focused view and comfortable positioning for your eyes.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Lenses
Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lenses. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid designed for optical instruments can be applied to the cloth, then gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using abrasive materials or excessive force, as this can scratch the lens coatings.

When not in use, store the binoculars in their carrying pouch to protect them from dust, dirt, and minor impacts. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
