Product care and storage
Turn on ON the Vibration Control switch. The pilot lamp flashes green when turned on.
Turn on ON the Vibration Control switch to activate image stabilization and have a stable vision
even in vibration-affected locations such as on board of a ship, car, helicopter, etc. This product
has a 10min auto timer off function: after 10 minutes, the Vibration Control turns off and the pilot
lamp goes automatically out. Even if the Vibration Control function turns automatically off, the
switch lever stays on ON unless manually turned on OFF. In this case, to use the Vibration
Control function again you need to turn the switch on OFF and then back to ON.
*The body of these binoculars is equipped with a small sliding shutter to cover the "ON" light
indicator in those dark environments, like during concerts, etc., where this may annoy other
viewers nearby.
Slide the shutter to the right to cover the pilot lamp, or back to the left to uncover it.
Refrain from leaving the pilot lamp covered with the shutter when not necessary.
To turn off the Vibration Control function, turn on OFF the Vibration Control switch.
*Malfunction may occur when the switch lever is not fully in place. Make sure to switch it
correctly in position on the ON or OFF indication.
* This product can be used as standard binoculars whether the Vibration Control function is
switched on or off.
*When switching the lever from ON to OFF or vice versa, the image may skip for a moment.
However, this does not relate to any issue with the horizontal optical axis.
*A blinking pilot light means the battery is running low. In this case, please replace the battery
with a new one. When the battery is running low, the Vibration Control function may stop
functioning properly.

Adjust the eyepoint properly and focus to bring out the product’s best performance. Viewing may vary depending on physical
conditions, the surrounding environment, weather, etc. Please precisely adjust each time before use.
3.Adjust interpupillary distance
By holding the unit with both hands, slowly fold the eyecups until they align with your own
interpupillary distance. The optimal interpupillary distance is when the images seen from each eye
overlaps in a circle, as shown in the image below.
2.Adjusting the eyepoint
These binoculars are equipped with twist-up eyecups. Adjust eyecups into a comfortable position
for your eyes and sight before use.
For those users not wearing eyeglasses, or using contact lenses, we suggest to use the twist-up
eyecups extended. Turn the twist-up eyecups counterclockwise to extend them.
For those users wearing glasses, we suggest to use the twist-up eyecups shortened.
1.Looking through the binoculars
To see your target object correctly, look through the eyepiece side of the binoculars.
*The target object appears smaller when looking from the opposite side (objective lens side).

4.Adjust dioptric power and focus
①Choose a target, like a symbol or letter on a board.
②Close the right eye first and turn the focus wheel until the chosen target can be clearly seen with
only the left eye opened.
③Then close the left eye and turn the focus wheel until the chosen target can be clearly seen with
only the right eye opened.
④The difference in dioptric power on both sides is thus adjusted, and the misadjusted focus on
both eyes is corrected.
From this point, the focus can be immediately adjusted by simply rotating the focus wheel.
*Turn ON the Vibration Control function to adjust the focus more easily.
