Focusing and Diopter Adjustment
Individual vision can differ between the left and right eyes, necessitating diopter adjustment on one of the eyepieces. Follow this procedure:
- Look through the binoculars at a distant object.
- Close your right eye and rotate the central focusing wheel until the view is sharp.
- Now, close your left eye and observe with your right eye. Slowly rotate the diopter adjustment ring on the right eyepiece until the view is focused again.
Once focused, only the central focusing wheel is needed for subsequent observations.
Care and Maintenance
Exercise necessary precautions when the device is used by children or individuals who have not read or fully understood these instructions. Do not attempt to disassemble the device for any reason. For repairs and cleaning, please contact your local specialized service center. Protect the device from sudden impacts and excessive mechanical force. Avoid touching optical surfaces with fingers. Clean lens surfaces with compressed air or a soft lens cleaning wipe. For external cleaning, use only recommended special cleaning wipes and tools for optics.
