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:
1. Hold your binoculars in the normal viewing position
2. Grasp each barrel rmly. Move the barrels closer together
or farther apart until you see a single circular eld.
Always reset your binoculars to this position before using.
Congratulations on selecting your new Carson binoculars!
With reasonable care, your binoculars will provide you with years of enjoyment.
In order to achieve optimum performance, please read the instructions carefully on the
proper use and care of your binoculars.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATION:
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 barrels closer together or further
apart until you see a singular circular field. Always reset your binoculars
to this position before using.
ED GLASS
Your Carson 3D-ED binoculars contain ED Glass (extra low dispersion glass) in their lenses. This ED Glass helps prevent
chromatic aberration (fringes of color that appear around the viewing image).
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.
Waterproong
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 feature fully multi-coated optics, meaning that all glass surfaces have multiple
coatings applied to them to prevent internal reection and light loss. This results in images that are
brighter, sharper and higher in contrast.

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.
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.
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.

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.
