Product Introduction
Discover The World Around!
Your National Geographic 4x30 binoculars are the perfect companion
for countless outdoor adventures. With these sturdy binoculars, you can
investigate amazing species and sights. Take them on a nature walk to get a
detailed look at birds and other wildlife without disturbing them. Take them
on a hike to navigate your path and view distant landmarks. Most of all, keep
them close by for on-the-go exploration.
Did You Know?
Two numbers are usually used to describe binoculars — such as 4x30. The first
number indicates magnifying power, which determines how much closer an
object will appear, and the second is the aperture of the objective lens, which
determines how much light can enter the device.
Cleaning Instructions
To clean the eyepieces and/or objective lenses, only use a soft, lint-free cloth
like a microfiber cloth. Do not apply excess pressure to the cloth to avoid
scratching the lenses. To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning
cloth with an eyeglass-cleaning solution and wipe the lenses gently being
careful to avoid excess pressure. Protect this device from dust and moisture.
When using in high humidity conditions, let the device acclimatize for a short
period of time before storing so that residual moisture can dissipate.
Determining Eye Distance
The distance between one’s eyes varies from person to person, so it is
essential that you adjust your binoculars before you use them. Take the
binoculars in both hands (Fig. 1) and hold them to your eyes. Fold them so
that you see a single circle when looking through them (Fig. 2).
Adjusting The Focus
To adjust the focus, simply turn the center focus wheel (Fig. 3).
