Never look at the sun directly
while using binoculars/
monocular.
Doing so may seriously damage the
eyes. (Fig. 1)
CAUTION!
• Do not leave the binoculars/
monocular in an unstable place.
They may fall and cause injury.
• Do not look through the
binoculars/monocular while
walking. You may walk into
unexpected objects and get hurt.
(Fig. 2)
• Do not swing the binoculars/
monocular by their straps. They
may hit someone and cause injury.
(Fig. 3)
• The soft case, strap, and external
materials utilized on binoculars/
monocular and rubber eyecups
may deteriorate due to aging
and stain clothes. To prevent this,
check their condition before each
use, and consult with a Nikon-
authorized service representative
if such deterioration is found.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• If you use the rubber eyecups for
a long period of time, you may
suffer skin inflammation. If you
develop any symptoms, stop use
and consult a doctor immediately.
• Be careful not to pinch your finger
when adjusting interpupillary
distance or diopter. Be
particularly careful if you let small
children use the binoculars. (Fig.
4)
• Do not leave the polyethylene
bag used for packaging within
small children’s reach. Children
may put it on their mouths and
suffocate. (Fig. 5)

OPERATION AND CONTROLS
1. Do not open the right and left binocular
tubes beyond their limits. Also be
careful not to rotate the diopter ring,
focusing ring and zoom lever (ring)
beyond their limits. (Fig. 7)
2. Avoid rain, water splashes, sand and
mud. (Fig. 8) With waterproof/water-
resistant binoculars, though some
rain or water splash will do no harm,
wipe the water off as soon as possible.
To confirm if your binoculars are
waterproof/water-resistant or not, check
the instruction manual of the product
you purchased.
3. Always protect binoculars/monocular
from shock. If you cannot obtain
a normal image after dropping or
getting the binoculars/monocular wet,
take them immediately to a Nikon-
authorized service representative (Fig. 9)
4. When exposed to sudden temperature
changes, water condensation may occur
on lens surfaces. In this case, thoroughly
dry the binoculars/ monocular at room
temperature.
Fig. 7
Fig. 9
Fig. 8
STORAGE
5. Water condensation or mold may
occur on lens surfaces because of
high humidity. Therefore, store the
binoculars/monocular in a cool, dry
place. After use on a rainy day or at
night, thoroughly dry them at room
temperature, then store in a cool, dry
place.
6. For long term storage, keep
binoculars/ monocular in a plastic
bag or an airtight container with a
desiccant. If this is not possible, store in
a clean, well-ventilated place, separate
from the case, as they are easily
affected by moisture. (Fig. 10)
7. Do not leave the binoculars/monocular
in a car on a hot or sunny day, or near
heat generating equipment. This may
damage or negatively affect them.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
8. Remove dust trapped in the focusing
unit, diopter adjustment unit, or other
rotating parts with a soft brush.
(Fig. 12)
9. After having removed dust with a
blower, clean the body surface using
a soft, clean cloth. After use at the
seaside, lightly soak a soft, clean cloth
with water and wipe off salt that may
be on the body surface. Then wipe the
body surface with a dry cloth. Do not
use benzene, thinner, or other organic
solvent. (Fig. 13)
10. When removing dust on the lens
surface, use a soft oil-free brush.
11. When removing stains or smudges like
fingerprints from the lens surfaces,
wipe the lenses very gently with a
soft clean cotton cloth. Use a small
quantity of pure alcohol (ethanol) or
lens cleaner available in stores to wipe
stubborn smudges, from the center
of the lens to the outside in a circular
motion. Do not use anything hard as it
may scratch the lens surface. (Fig. 14)

Diopter adjustment
(Balancing right and left eyesight)
* With the focus correctly adjusted,
remember the diopter index position

CF: Central focusing binoculars
Binoculars with the diopter
adjustment ring on the right
eyepiece.
Binoculars with the diopter adjustment
ring on the left eyepiece (some models of
zoom binoculars).
IF: Individual focusing binoculars
For individual focusing binoculars,
diopter adjustment is basically
unnecessary.
Note: For zoom binoculars
When viewing the subject at
a different magnification, first
correctly adjust focusing at a higher
magnification. This minimizes
blurring, which may occur when you
change magnification.
* If you change the magnification from
low to high after adjusting focusing
at low magnification, serious image
blurring may occur.
1 Rotate the focusing ring until you
obtain a sharp image of your subject
in the left eyepiece.
2 Rotate the diopter adjustment ring
of the right eyepiece until you obtain
a sharp image of the same subject in
the right eyepiece.
3 Check focusing on both eyes.
4 When you view a different subject,
adjust the focusing ring until you
obtain a sharp image.
2 Rotate the focusing ring until you obtain a sharp
image of your subject in the right eyepiece.
1 Set the zoom lever at the
maximum magnification position.
3 Rotate the diopter adjustment ring of the left
eyepiece until you obtain a sharp image of the
same subject in the left eyepiece.
4 Check focusing on both eyes.
5 When you view a different subject, adjust the
focusing ring until you obtain a sharp image.
1 Focus right and left eyes separately.
2 When the subject changes, focus with
both eyes separately.
