PRISM SYSTEM:
Your Carson 3D binoculars
feature a roof prism system.
The prisms overlap closely
allowing the objective
(front) lenses to line up
directly with the eyepieces.
The result is a slim,
streamlined shape in which
the lenses and prisms that
magnify and correct the
image are in a straight line.

EYE ADJUSTMENTS: HOW TO ADJUST FOR DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR EYES
The distance between the eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person.To achieve perfect alignment
of lens to eye, follow these simple steps:
t alignmen o ey w these simple steps:
1. Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing
position.
2. Grasp each barrel firmly. Move barrels
closer together or further apart until you see
a singular circular field. Always reset your
binoculars to this position before using.
FOCUSING YOUR BINOCULARS:
Carson 3D binoculars have a center focus wheel and
an independent right diopter eyepiece to account for
small differences in the strength of each eye. Please
follow the steps below to focus properly:
1. Adjust the interpupillar distance.
2. Rotate the right eyepiece to its index mark
and sight on a fixed distant object.
3. Cover the right objective (front) lens with
your hand, then rotate the central focusing
wheel until the image in the left eyepiece is
sharp.
4. Cover the left objective (front) lens with your
hand then rotate the right eyepeice until the
image is sharp. (Note this setting for future
use.)
5. Image should now be focused to your
individual eyestrength.
TWIST-UP EYECUPS:
Your Carson 3D binocular features twist-up eyecups
designed to exclude extraneous light.If you do not
wear eyeglasses, you may choose to twist the
eyecups out to block stray light and reflections from
your view. If you are an eyeglass wearer, lowering the
eyecups will bring your eyes closer to the binocular
lenses, providing an improved field of view.

WATERPROOFING:
All Carson 3D binoculars are nitrogen purged and o-ring
sealed to protect your binocular from water damage.They
are designed to protect against accidental splashing, rain
or even full submersion in up to 1 meter of water for up to
5 minutes.
OPTICAL COATINGS:
All 3D binoculars featuer fully multi-coated optics, meaning
that all glass surfaces have multiple coatings applied to them
to prevent internal reflection and light loss.This results in
images that are brighter, shaper and higher in contrast.
As light travels through a roof prism binocular, it becomes
slightly out of phase.This affects the color balance and
fidelity.Your 3D binoculars are phase coated to correct this
problem, forcing the light back into phase and therefore
resulting in more accurate color reproduction.
All 3D binoculars come with both a neck strap and a shoulder harness.You can choose either accessory to hold your binocular
depending on your personal preference.
ATTACHING THE NECK STRAP:
1.Thread the end of the strap up through the strap clip on
the side of your binocular.
2.Thread the strap through the first loop of the plastic
strap piece.
3. Continue to thread the strap through the second loop of
the plastic strap piece.
4. Adjust the strap to the desired length and pull tight.
5. Slide the plastic cuff over the loose end of the neck
strap.
ATTACHING THE SHOULDER HARNESS:
1. Remove the security buttons from the quick release hooks
on your binocular harness.
2. Slide the security button loop upward through the strap
clips on each side of your binocular.
3. Feed the security button through the loop and tighten.
4. Attach quick release hook onto loop.
5. Slide security button into center of quick release hook.

USE OF A TRIPOD ADAPTER:
All Carson 3D binoculars are compatible with most
standard binocular tripod adapters.To attach a tripod
adapter to your binoculars:
1. Twist the tripod adapter cap (located at the hinge in
between the binocular barrels) counterclockwise and
remove it.
2. Attach the binocular tripod adapter into the threaded
hole in the binocular turning it clockwise until tight.
3. Attach the bottom of the tripod adapter to your tripod.
NOTE: Tripod and adapter are not included with your 3D
binoculars

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE:
Cleaning must be done safely to avoid scratching the
lenses.This can be accomplished with the following
procedure:
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft
brush.)
2.To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a soft
cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a
coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the
lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, use a Carson C6®lens
cleaning product.
4. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clean your binoculars
internally or try to take them apart.
5. Keep binoculars in case when not in use.
