How to use

Adjust the interpupillary distance by folding the barrels until both eyepieces align with your eyes. Use the central focus wheel to obtain a sharp image of the subject; start by focusing on a closer object and then tweak for distance. For extended observation, support the binoculars with both hands and, when possible, steady your arms on a stable surface to reduce shake. If wearing eyeglasses, position the binoculars at a comfortable distance from the eyes to achieve the full field of view.

Usage recommendations

Keep the lenses clean using a soft brush or microfiber cloth and avoid aggressive solvents. After exposure to heavy rain or salt spray, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly before storage. Store the binoculars in a protective case in a cool, dry place to preserve waterproof seals and optical coatings.
