Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell® Spectator Sport® binoculars.
This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how to set up and use the binocular, and
how to care for it. Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular.
Eyecup Adjustment
Your Bushnell Spectator Sport binocular features twist-up eyecups (8x25 model has roll-
down eyecups) that provide a comfortable view of the full image and help to exclude
extraneous light. For use without eyeglasses or sunglasses, twist the eyecups up,
rotating the eyecups counterclockwise until they are in the fully “up” position (Fig. 1).
If you are wearing glasses, use the eyecups in the “down” position- this will bring your
eyes closer to the binocular’s ocular lenses, allowing you to see the full eld of view. To
lower the eyecups from the full“up”position, rotate them clockwise (Fig. 2). The eyecups
may also be set to a position midway between fully up and fully down, which may better
suit some users.
IPD (Interpupillary Distance) Adjustment
The spacing between the pupils of your eyes, called“interpupillary distance,”varies from
person to person. To match your binoculars to your IPD:
1. Point them at a white wall or blank area of the sky (away from the sun). Hold the
binoculars and view through them as you normally would.
2. Grasp each side of the binocular rmly. Move the left and right sides closer
together or farther apart (Fig. 3, next page) until you see a single image with no
shaded areas. Fig. 2 Eyecup in “Down”Position

Focus Free
Your Spectator Sport binocular is specically designed for viewing subjects at long distances, even when they are
fast moving. They are ideal for all stadium sports, hunting game and distant wildlife observation. No focusing or
diopter adjustment is necessary-the optics are preset and optomized for distances of about 150 feet or greater
(varies with model/magnication). Your eyes will automatically adjust to provide the “ne tuning” for greater
distances. If your distant vision requires correction via eyeglasses or contact lenses, you should wear them when
using your binocular. The Spectator Sport line of optics is not intended or suitable for viewing subjects at close
range such as birds at a backyard feeder. The close focus limit will vary depending on the model and the user’s
eyesight.

Neckstrap Attachment
To attach the neckstrap, thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap lug (Fig. 4) on each side of the binocular
(start at the bottom of the channel and push the strap up through the top), then back through the plastic buckle on
the strap. Adjust the position of the binoculars on your chest as they hang around your neck to your preference, by
changing the length of the strap section which passes through the strap channel and buckle by an equal amount
on each side. If you prefer to use an aftermarket strap that has metal O-rings, attach them to the “D-ring” at the
end of the short strap section rather than installing them directly on the lug, to avoid damaging the nish on the
binocular by contact with the rings.
Tripod Mounting (50mm porro prism models only-see tech specs table)
To attach the binocular to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the “B”logo cap
which covers the threaded socket at the far end of the center hinge (Fig. 5), and set it aside in
a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter accessory, such as the Bushnell model
#161001CM, to attach your Spectator Sport binocular to any standard tripod in a horizontal
position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.
Water Resistant
Your Bushnell Spectator Sport binocular has been designed for water resistance
to protect it from light rain or accidental splashes*. It is not fully waterproof or
“purged”and should not be submerged in water to avoid damage. *Note: BS1430
is not water resistant.
Changing the Color Tiles (Fig. 6)
To personalize your binocular, pry o the black tiles (use a ngernail, key or sm.
screwdriver) and replace them with red, white or blue tiles. Insert the wide end

rst, then gently pull up the rubber above the narrow end to insert it.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-SMALL PARTS. TO BE ASSEMBLED BY AN ADULT. NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS OF AGE.
Care of the Optics
Your Bushnell Spectator Sport binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you
would give any ne optical instrument.
1. Avoid sharp impacts. Set the binocular down gently on hard surfaces.
2. Tug on the strap after attaching it to make sure it is securely fastened to the binocular before placing it around
your neck.
3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place whenever possible.
Cleaning
1. First, blow or brush away any dust or debris on the lens (using “canned air” or a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt or nger prints, clean with the supplied soft storage bag (made of washable micro-ber cloth),
rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth (including paper towels) or unnecessary rubbing may
scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included storage bag/micro-ber cloth
is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of
moisture, then gently rub the lens with the micro-ber cloth.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic lens cleaning uid or isopropyl
alcohol may be used. Always apply the uid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
4. To prevent potential damage to the optical coatings on the binocular’s lens surfaces, never use household
window cleaning liquids, and avoid using facial tissue or clothing that may have bers which can be abrasive
and hold oils or dirt.
