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:
1. Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing position.
2. Grasp each barrel firmly. Move the barrels closer together or farther apart until you see a single
circular field. Always reset your binoculars
to this position before using.
Focusing Your Binoculars
1. Rotate the independent right diopter eyepiece* to its index mark and sight on a fixed distant object.
2. Cover the right objective (front) lens with your hand, then rotate the central focusing knob until
the image in the left eyepiece is sharp.
3. Cover the left objective (front) lens with your hand, then rotate the independent right diopter
eyepiece
until the image is sharp. (Note this setting for future use.)
4. Image should now be focused to your individual eye strength.
*Not all binoculars have independent right diopter focusing.
If your binocular does not have this
feature, simply focus using the center focus knob.

CARSON®
Roll-Down/ Twist-Up Eyecups
Many binoculars are fitted with eyecups designed to exclude extraneous light. Position the eyecups
in the uppermost position to help reduce extraneous light and external glare. If you wear eyeglasses,
you may choose
to roll/twist down the eyecups. For eyeglass wearers, rolling/twisting down the
eyecups will bring your eyes close to the binocular lenses, thus providing an improved field of view.
Instructions For Care
Like any fine instrument, your binoculars should be given sensible care. Always store your binoculars
in protective case when not in use. Do not drop or violently jar your binoculars. This may cause the
internal optical components
of your binoculars to become misaligned resulting in a double image
when looking through them.
Do not expose to excessive moisture.
Cleaning
Cleaning must be done safely and carefully to avoid scratching the lenses and permanently damaging
your binoculars.
Safe cleaning can be accomplished by following the procedure below:
1. Blow away any dust and debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a microfiber 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, photographic type lens cleaning fluid may be used. Always apply
the fluid to the cleaning cloth, never directly on the lens.
4. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clean your binoculars internally or try to take them apart.
