How to use

Set the eyecups to the appropriate position for use with or without eyeglasses, then adjust the central focusing wheel until the image is sharp. Use the diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece to correct for any difference between your eyes. For steady viewing at 10× magnification, brace your arms against your body or use a stable support such as a railing or tripod adapter if extended observation is required. Store the binoculars in their protective case and wipe the lenses with a microfiber cloth after use to maintain optical performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results in low-light situations such as dawn or dusk, allow your eyes to adapt to darkness before observing and keep the objectives clean and free from dust and moisture. When transporting, use the included strap and protective covers to prevent scratching and impact damage.
