1. Align the eyepiece to center above the patient’s pupil.
a. Loosen the two bridge screws.
b. Slide the telescope right or left to position the eyepiece directly above the pupil. Once in
position retighten the bridge screws slightly, but do NOT over-tighten.
c. To switch the telescope from one eye to the other,
loosen the two rear bridge screws and slide the telescope off the positioning rod.
Flip the telescope over and slide it back onto
the rod, then re-tighten the screws to keep it in position.
Do NOT over-tighten the bridge screws.
2. Align the vertical position of the telescope eyepiece
a. Adjust the nosepads on the frame to align the bottom of the eyepiece
with the top of the patient’s pupil
b. When looking below the Falcon, the telescope will have an upward
tilted position. The red arrow shows angle of telescope while looking
beneath the Falcon.
c. Ask the patient to dip their head downward to look through the telescope
eyepiece. Adjust the viewing angle tilt of the telescope to be parallel
to the line of sight of the patient. The red arrow shows the straight-ahead
position of the falcon
3. Connect the USB cable to the battery
a. Do not disconnect the cable from the
telescope itself.
b. The battery will turn on automatically when the
USB cable is connected. The Falcon will
automatically run a brief self-check (this
will occur every time the power is turned on).
Press the power status button (red arrow)
to confirm that the battery has adequate
charge to operate the Falcon. The number
of lights illuminated shows the percent
of charge.
The Falcon will operate for approximately
8 hours on a full battery charge.
c. Recharge the battery using the Micro-USB
cable provided.
d. To turn off the Falcon, simply remove the USB
cable from the battery.

4. Adjust the eyepiece focus
Turn on the Falcon.
a. Insert the eyepiece focusing tool into the access port on the side of the telescope closest to
the eyepiece.
Instruct the patient to look through the telescope eyepiece to the center of a flat target that is
wider than the field of view of the telescope and approximately 3-5 feet (1-2m) away.
b. Rotate the focus tool in or out to achieve the sharpest focus.
The eyepiece adjustment will cover refractive error from +8 to -8 Diopters. Before removing the
adjustment tool check to confirm that the telescope focuses accurately at different distances and
refine the eyepiece focus adjustment if needed. The Falcon should focus clearly from optical
infinity to as close as 13” (0.33m).
Prescriptions higher than 8D or 3D cylinder may require eyepiece corrections.
Carefully remove the eyepiece focus tool without turning it.
5. When dispensing the Falcon tighten the setscrew to fix eyepiece focus adjustment in place.
BE CERTAIN TO LOOSEN THE SETSCREW BEFORE YOU READJUST THE EYEPIECE FOCUS
6. When dispensing the Falcon to a patient insert the rubber plug to close the eyepiece
focus access port.
When inserting the plug into the access port the line on the head of the plug should be
positioned horizontally.
7. Using the Focus Override button
On occasion the autofocus will not focus as the user might expect. This may occur when looking at
an unusually reflective target or when looking through a window. By pressing the focus override button
briefly (red arrow), the focus will hold at the distance it was focused. By pressing the button again,
the autofocus will reactivate. By pressing the override button for several seconds, the Falcon will
automatically shift focus to infinity and hold. By pressing the button again, the autofocus will reactivate.
• Short Press: the focus will hold at the current distance.
• Long Press: the focus will change to optical infinity.
• Restart autofocusing: pressing the button again will reactivate autofocusing.
8. Use the head-strap to stabilize the Falcon on the head.
The strap should be snug but NOT tight. DO NOT over-tighten the head-strap as this can reduce
wearing comfort.
9. Care and cleaning of the Falcon Autofocus Bioptic
a. DO NOT IMMERSE THE FALCON IN WATER
b. DO USE the provided lens cloth to keep the front window and eyepiece clean and free from fingerprints.
You can lightly moisten the front window and the eyepiece lens with an approved lens cleaner and
Q-tip and then dry with the lens cloth.
c. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any part of the Falcon.
d. DO NOT attempt to reposition the Falcon on the frame or the eyepiece without first loosening
the frame or eyepiece set screws. An experienced individual should only perform this operation.
e. DO NOT share the Falcon with another individual as the device has been carefully fitted and
prescribed for the intended user.
f. DO NOT leave the Falcon in a vehicle or other location where it can be exposed to high heat.
g. DO NOT use the Falcon while driving unless properly trained and licensed.
The Falcon should be set for distance focus and remain off while driving.
