The interpupillary distance, or the distance
between the pupils, varies from person to
person. The binocular must be correctly aligned
(adjusted) to the distance between your pupils
to achieve a single, clear image. To adjust
this distance, lift the binocular up to your eyes
(using both hands) and look through them
at an object in the distance. Move the two
barrels (halves) of the binocular closer together
or further apart until you see a single, clear
image (Fig. 2). Check that the interpupillary
distance is set correctly every time you use your
binocular.

SETTING THE DIOPTER / FOCUSING
To ensure a crisp, sharp image the focusing
system of the binocular must be set to
compensate for any differences in your eyesight.
This is achieved by setting the diopter (located
on the right eyepiece) before use. To set the
binocular to your eyesight follow the instructions
below.
1. View an object in the distance through the
binocular.
2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand
or the objective lens cap.
3. Rotate the focus wheel until the image
viewed with your left eye is clear and sharp.
4. Cover the left objective lens with your hand
or objective lens cap.
5. Viewing the same object, adjust the diopter
ring until the image viewed with your right
eye is clear and sharp.
6. Your binocular is now adjusted to your eyes
and focusing on any object can now be
achieved by simply turning the focus wheel.
TIP: Eyeglasses worn for nearsightedness should be worn when using
binoculars as you may not be able to obtain focus at infinity without
them.

The TrailSeeker features twist-up eyecups to
accommodate both eyeglass and non-eyeglass
wearers. If you do not wear eyeglasses, twist
the eyecups counterclockwise until they reach
the up position. If you wear eyeglasses, make
sure that the eyecups are in the down position
to obtain the maximum field of view. The
eyecups can be set at positions between fully
up and down which may suit some users better.

TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY
WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF
The TrailSeeker binoculars feature built-in
threads that allow the binocular to be attached
to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter.
These threads can be accessed by unscrewing
the logo plate found on the front of the hinge
(Fig. 5). To attach the binocular to a tripod,
thread the adapter into the binocular and attach
the other end of the adapter to a photographic
tripod. Mounting the binocular on a tripod
allows for added stability and comfort during
prolonged viewing.

The TrailSeeker series binoculars are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the
housing from fogging internally.

CARE AND STORAGE
1. Protect the binocular from impact and do not
force any of the moving parts beyond their
limits.
2. Protect the optics of your binocular by
putting on all lens caps when not in use.
3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place
whenever possible.
4. When storing for an extended period of time,
place the binocular in a plastic bag or airtight
container with a desiccant.
5. Do not leave the binocular in a car on a hot/
sunny day or near anything that generates
heat as this may cause damage.
6. Clean any dust, dirt or water that may get
on the binocular or inside moving parts as
soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen
damage.
Your Celestron binocular will provide you years of dependable service if it is cared for and
stored properly.

CLEANING
SERVICE AND REPAIR
Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential
to maintaining the optical integrity of your
binocular. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of
light transmitted through the binocular and your
overall viewing experience.
1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft
lens brush or can of pressurized air.
2. Remove any fingerprints, stains or smudges
from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens
cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular
motion. Start in the middle of the lens and
work your way to the edges. Breathe lightly
on the lens to provide moisture if needed.
3. For a more thorough cleaning we recommend
the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available
at most photo or optical shops. Follow the
directions supplied with the cleaning kit for
best results.
If warranty problems arise or repairs are
necessary, contact the Celestron customer
service department if you live in the United
States or Canada. If you live outside of
these countries, please contact the dealer
you purchased your binocular from or the
Celestron distributor in your country. A list of
our distributors can be found on our website.
