IPD
Rotate the binocular barrels
inward or outward to align the
ocular lenses with your eyes.
Keep the eyecups fully extended
if you aren’t wearing eyeglasses
or sunglasses. For the best
views when wearing eyeglasses,
twist the eyecups down.

Adjust the eyecups
Enjoy comfortable viewing even if you wear eyeglasses—simply
twist the eyecups up or down to see the full field of view.
Adjust the interpupillary distance
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the
center of your left and right pupil. Your binocular also has an
IPD. To see a single image free of shading, rotate your binocular
until its IPD aligns with your eyes.
The IPD of a binocular is the
distance between the center of
the left and right ocular lens.

Focus your binocular
For the best view, use the center focus and diopter to adjust for
differences in vision in each eye. Choose an object that is about 20
yards away from you and perform this two-step process:
1. Adjust the center focus. Close your
right eye or cover the right objective
lens with your hand. Look at the object
with your left eye and adjust the center
focus wheel until the image is in focus.
Note: Keep the center focus in this
position as you adjust the diopter.
2. Adjust the diopter. Pull the diopter
ring up toward the ocular lens to
unlock its position. Close your left eye
or cover the left objective lens with
your hand and rotate the ring until the
object is in focus. Push the ring back
down to lock the diopter—be sure to
record the setting so you can go back
to it if someone changes the diopter
setting.
After setting the diopter you only need to use the center wheel to
focus your binocular. Note: If your vision changes, you may need to
repeat this process.
Caution:
Binoculars are not intended for looking at the sun or other intense
light sources. Such viewing could damage the retina and cornea of
your eyes—even to the point of causing blindness.

Accessories for the Ranger ED
Use the provided eyepiece rainguard and tethered objective lens
covers to protect the lenses when
you are not using your binocular.
Between viewing sessions, safely
store your binocular in the case.
Neckstrap
Securely attach the padded neckstrap to your binocular. Begin by
attaching the strap to the right barrel of the binocular, then repeat
this three-step process for the left barrel.
1. Thread the end
of the strap from the
bottom up through
the strap attachment
loop.
3. Adjust the overall
length and pull the
strap webbing tight so
it is secure within the
buckle.
2. Hold the buckle
and thread the end
of the strap inside
the buckle.
Note: Please do not thread a metal ring directly onto the strap
attachment loop when attaching rings of clips for other after-market
equipment. Instead, use nylon zip ties according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Care for your binocular’s lenses
Follow this two-step process to gently clean the exterior lenses of
your binocular.
1. Blow away any dust or grit before wiping the lens. Use a
can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or acrylic optical
brush.
2. Gently remove smudges,
fingerprints, and eyelash oil from
the lens. Use a small amount of
water or your breath to moisten the
lens then wipe away smudges with a
clean lens cloth. Use lens cleaning
fluid or isopropyl alcohol to help
remove fingerprints and eyelash oil.
Note: Avoid over scrubbing lenses and always use a clean lens
cloth—replace the dirty lens cloth with a new, clean lens cloth.
Please do not use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel cloth on
the lenses—these materials can scratch the lens surface.
