A. Ocular lens
B. Focus wheel
C. Twist-up, multiple-position eyecup
D. Diopter adjustment ring
E. Strap attachment

CAUTION – binoculars should
not be used to look at the sun or any
other bright light – this can
permanently damage your eyes.
FITTING THE BINOCULAR FOR USE
INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD)
The Interpupillary distance or IPD is the distance between the center of your left and
right eyes. To maximize the field-of-view and fit to your eyes you should adjust the
IPD to your face. To do this simply rotate the barrels of the binocular inward together
until both eyes see the image clearly and comfortably.
EYE RELIEF
The eyecups on your Maven binocular twist up so that any viewer can see the full
field-of-view – with or without glasses. For best viewing with glasses twist cups all
the way in. Depending on your facial structure or your angle of viewing, you might like
the eye-cups twisted out one or more clicks.
DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
Everyone has slight differences between strength and focus of their right and left
eyes. Maven binoculars allow you to micro-adjust the diopter adjustment ring to allow
for these differences.
To accomplish this:
1. Focus the binocular on an object more than 50 feet away from you.
2. Cover the right barrel with your hand and bring the left eye into perfect focus with
the center focus wheel.
3. Cover the left objective end with one hand and use the diopter ring to finely adjust
the focus for your right eye.
STRAP CONNECTION
Maven binoculars come with a quick-connect strap system. This allows you to utilize
our padded neckstrap. The quick-connect straps utilize webbing fabric instead of
split-rings or zip ties to protect your binocular while still firmly
connecting the binocular.
To connect the strap:
1. Unclip the quick-connections from the included strap.
2. Place one end of one loop through the binocular
strap attachment.
3. Slide the plastic clip back through the loop.
4. Repeat steps on the other side.
USING YOUR BINOCULAR WITH A TRIPOD
Maven binoculars have the ability to be mounted on a tripod with the
use of our Tripod Adapter (sold separately).
To connect the adapter:
1. Remove the Tripod Adapter Socket Cover.
2. Thread on the Tripod Adapter.
3. Attach Tripod Adapter to Tripod.
DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
Everyone has slight differences between strength and focus of their right and left
eyes. Maven binoculars allow you to micro-adjust the diopter adjustment ring to allow
for these differences.
To accomplish this:
1. Focus the binocular on an object more than 50 feet away from you.
2. Cover the right barrel with your hand and bring the left eye into perfect focus with
the center focus wheel.
3. Cover the left objective end with one hand and use the diopter ring to finely adjust
the focus for your right eye.
CARING FOR YOUR BINOCULAR
To maintain maximum performance of your Maven binoculars, keep the lenses free of
dirt, dust and grit. Protect the lenses with the included lens covers or use a case. It is
best to store your Maven binocular in its carry bag when not in use.
CLEANING
The eyecup can be removed and rinsed with clean water
1. Hold the eyecup and twist counter clockwise until the
eyecup is removed from the binocular frame.
2. Rinse with water.
To clean the lenses:
1. Gently remove any dirt, dust or grit with pressurized air or a soft optical brush.
2. Clean lenses of smudges or oil by using a small amount of liquid (fogging with your
own breath or using optical cleaning fluid) and a micro-fiber lens cloth. The Maven
binocular storage bag makes a good cleaning cloth. Ensure that the cloth is free
from dirt and grit so as to not scratch the lenses. NEVER use a t-shirt, facial tissue
or heavy cotton cloth on your lenses as they can scratch the lenses.
