Celestron Outland X User manual

Thank you for purchasing Celestron binoculars.
We hope they bring you many years of enjoyment.
To maximize the use of your new binoculars,
please read these instructions on use and care
before using them.
ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD)
ADJUSTING FOCUS
Since the distance between the eyes (specifically,
the distance between the centers of the pupils)
varies among individuals, the two eyepieces of the
binoculars must be correctly aligned (adjusted).
This is called adjusting the interpupillary distance.
To adjust this distance, lift the binoculars up to your
eyes (using both hands) and look through them at
an object in the distance. Move the two halves of
the binoculars about the hinge until you see one
clear circle of image through both eyes.
Since most people have a variance of vision from
their left eye to their right eye, you must adjust the
focusing system. Use the following steps to achieve
focus: (1) Close your right eye and look through the
left side of the binoculars with your left eye at the
subject matter. Rotate the center focusing wheel
until the image appears in sharp focus; (2) Close
your left eye and look through the right eyepiece
(called the diopter). Rotate the right eyepiece until
the image appears in sharp focus. (3) Now look
through both eyepieces with both eyes open. Since
you’ve already adjusted the right eyepiece, use
only the center focusing wheel to refocus on a new
object at a different distance.
Note: Your binocular has a diopter indicator,
please note the setting for later use for faster
focus adjustment.
Hint: Eyeglasses worn for nearsightedness
should be worn when using binoculars, as
you may not be able to reach a sharp focus at
infinity without them.

SET THE TWIST UPRUBBER EYECUPS
Twist the Rubber Eyecups up if you do not wear
eyeglasses and fold them down if you do wear
eyeglasses to obtain the maximum field of view.
Now you are ready to use your binoculars —
enjoy the view!
TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY
The 42 mm size binoculars feature a built-in tripod
adapter fitting which is a threaded screw hole
underneath a cap. To attach a binocular tripod
adapter, remove the cap and then thread the screw
from the binocular tripod adapter into the threaded
screw hole. The other end of the binocular tripod
adapter attaches to a photographic tripod.
Mounting binoculars this way allows for added
stability and comfort.
CARE AND CLEANING
Binoculars do not need routine maintenance
other than making sure that the objective
lenses and eyepieces are kept clean. If repairs
become necessary, they should be serviced by
the manufacturer or a qualified binocular repair
company. Collimation (optical alignment) is the
biggest concern with binoculars. If your binoculars
are roughly handled or dropped, there is a good
chance that the collimation will be out, and
they should be serviced. Dirty objectives and/or
eyepieces mean less light transmission and loss of
brightness as well as unsharp images. Keep your
optics clean! When not using your binoculars, store
them in the case provided. Avoid touching the glass
surfaces, however, if fingerprints (which contain mild
acid) do get on the glass, they should be cleaned as
soon as possible to avoid damaging the coatings.
To clean the optical surfaces, we recommend a
lens/optics cleaning kit available at most photo or
optical shops. Follow the instructions provided with
the kit closely for best results. If you have a lot of
dust or dirt accumulated, brush it off gently with a
camel’s hair brush and/or utilize a can of pressurized
air before using the cleaning kit. Alternately, you
could use the Celestron LensPen (#93575) made
especially for cleaning binoculars. Never attempt
to clean your binoculars internally or try to take
them apart!
CAUTION!
Viewing the Sun may cause permanent eye
damage. Do not view the Sun with your binoculars
or even with the naked eye.
