USER GUIDE

Thank you for choosing a Leupold® Tactical binocular.
We trust that all the work we put into it will reward you
with years of enjoyment and trouble-free use.
Using your Leupold Tactical binocular is very simple. However, you must
set them to match your eyesight before use. This is done by adjusting the
interpupillary distance and focusing the binoculars to your own visual acuity.
ADJUSTING INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE
The interpupillary distance is simply the distance between the pupils of your
eyes. To ensure a clear, single image, the binocular must be set so that the
center of each ocular lens is the same distance apart as your own pupils.
TO SET THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE:
1. Hold the binocular up to your eyes in the normal manner.
2. Look through the binocular with both eyes open.
3. Move the two barrels (halves) up or down until you see a single,
circular image.

SETTING THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
Setting the diopter adjustment of your binocular properly is very important,
as properly adjusted binoculars will prevent eye strain and provide you with
a crisp, sharp image.
TO SET THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT ON RIGHT EYEPIECE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
MODELS:
1. View an object about 100 yards in the distance.
2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand.
3. Adjust the center focus wheel (located between the two barrels) until
the image presented to your left eye is clear and sharp.
4. Cover the left objective lens with your hand.
5. Adjust the diopter adjustment dial until the image presented to your
right eye is clear and sharp.
Your binocular is now focused for your eyesight.
TO SET THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT ON CENTER FOCUS DIAL DIOPTER
ADJUSTMENT MODELS:
1. Pull up the lockable diopter adjustment dial on the top of the center
focus dial.
2. View an object about 100 yards in the distance.

3. Cover the left objective lens with your hand.
4. Adjust the center focus wheel (located between the two barrels) until
the image presented to your right eye is clear and sharp.
5. Cover the right objective lens with your hand.
6. Adjust the diopter adjustment dial until the image presented to your left
eye is clear and sharp.
7. Push down the lockable diopter adjustment dial so that it locks into place.
Your binocular is now focused for your eyesight.
To make any adjustments in the field, simply turn the center focus dial while
viewing through both barrels.
BINOCULARS EQUIPPED WITH
A MILLING RETICLE
The reticle is located in the left binocular barrel. The reticle can be rotated
360° by turning the knurled eyepiece. Reticle rotation allows for setting the
reticle parallel with the horizon regardless of the user’s interpupillary distance
or position of observation. Rotation of the reticle will also allow for accurate
range estimation of targets that are not parallel or perpendicular to the
horizon.

To range with the Mil-L reticle, follow the instructions for the Leupold Mil Dot
and TMR reticles listed in the Tactical Milling Reticle instruction manual.
CLEANING
You can clean the fully armored body by simply wiping off any accumulated
dirt or dust.
Clean the lenses as you would a camera lens. For optimal cleaning, use the
Leupold Lens Cleaning System. Begin by using the brush to whisk away dust.
Then use the microfiber cleaning tip, which is impregnated with a special
non-liquid cleaning compound, to clean the glass. If you don’t have a Leupold
Lens Cleaning System, use a standard lens brush to remove dust and then pure
alcohol, high-grade glass cleaner, or pure water on a cotton swab.
A NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WEAR EYEGLASSES
Leupold Tactical binoculars feature eyecups you can adjust to accommodate the
optimal eye relief distance required even when wearing eyeglasses. To adjust,
simply pull the eyecups straight out, or push them in to the optimal eye relief
setting for your eyes.
