Setup

Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove the binoculars and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
Attach Neck Strap: Thread the neck strap through the attachment points on the binoculars. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent accidental drops.
Adjust Interpupillary Distance: Hold the binoculars up to your eyes. Adjust the distance between the two barrels by moving them closer or further apart until you see a single, circular field of view.
Diopter Adjustment:
- Close your right eye and look through the left eyepiece. Rotate the central focus wheel until the image is sharp.
- Close your left eye and look through the right eyepiece (which has the diopter ring). Rotate the diopter ring until the image is sharp.
- Now, with both eyes open, the binoculars should be adjusted for your vision. Use only the central focus wheel for subsequent focusing.

Operating Instructions

General Use

Remove all lens caps.
Hold the binoculars firmly and bring them to your eyes.

Using the Phone Adapter

The included phone adapter allows you to connect your smartphone to the binoculars to capture magnified images or videos.

Maintenance

Cleaning Lenses: Use the provided lens cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics. Gently wipe the lens surfaces. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid on the cloth, not directly on the lens.
Cleaning Body: Wipe the rubber armor with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Storage: Store the binoculars in their carrying bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures and high humidity. Always replace lens caps to protect the lenses from dust and scratches.
Waterproofing: While the binoculars are IP67 waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion or exposing them to high-pressure water jets. After exposure to water, wipe them dry with a soft cloth.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Blurred image	Incorrect focus; Diopter not adjusted; Dirty lenses	Adjust central focus wheel; Perform diopter adjustment (see Setup); Clean lenses with lens cloth.
Double image or two overlapping circles	Interpupillary distance not set correctly	Adjust the distance between the barrels until a single, circular field of view is achieved.
