Vortex Razor HD User manual

Objective Lens
Ocular Lens
IPD
The eyecups on a Razor HD binocular twist up and down so any
viewer can see the full field and enjoy comfortable viewing—with
or without eyeglasses.
When not using eyeglasses or
sunglasses, keep the eyecups fully
extended. For the best viewing
when viewing through eyeglasses,
twist eyecups down.
Adjust the interpupillary distance
The interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the centers
of the left and right eye pupils. Match the IPD of your eyes to that of
the binocular so that you see a single image that is free of shading.
BASIC OPERATION

Properly focus the binocular
For the best views, follow this two-step
process to properly adjust the center focus
and diopter. Choose an object that is about
20 yards away from you and stay in the same
spot until you have adjusted the binocular
for your eyes.
1. Adjust the center focus—start by closing your right eye
or covering the right objective lens
with your hand. Focus your left eye
on the object and adjust the center
focus wheel until the image is in focus.
Leave the center focus in this position
as you adjust the diopter.
2. Adjust the diopter—start by closing your left eye or covering
the left objective lens with your hand. Lift the diopter ring to
unlock and, looking through your
right eye, adjust the diopter so that the
object is in focus. Make note of this
diopter setting in case you need to set
it again. Push the diopter ring down to
lock—from this point on, you will only need to use the center
focus wheel.
The Razor HD comes with a rainguard for the ocular lenses and
tethered objective lens covers. Use these covers to protect the
lenses whenever you are not viewing.
Lens Covers
The protective case of the Razor HD provides safe storage between
viewing sessions. The carry strap is already attached to the case.
Carry Case
ACCESSORIES
Attach the padded neckstrap to the Razor HD in three simple
steps. Begin with the right barrel of the binocular and repeat the
process for the left barrel.
Neckstrap
1. Push a few inches
of the strap through
the strap attachment
on the binocular.
3. Adjust the overall
length, then pull tight
until strap secured
within the buckle.
2. Hold the buckle and
thread the end of the
strap through the buckle.
Note: If using another type of strap, never attach metal o-rings directly
onto the strap attachment.

Caution: Binoculars are not intended for looking at the sun, or any
other intense light source. Such viewing could damage the retina and
cornea of your eyes—even to the point of causing blindness.
LENS CARE
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Razor HD binocular by
keeping lens surfaces free of dirt, oils, and dust.
Protect lenses while out in the field
Make use of the provided eyepiece and objective lens covers to
protect the lenses when not viewing. Then, store the Razor HD
in its carry case between viewing sessions.
Keep lenses clean
In order to enjoy the best views through your Razor HD binocular,
take time to regularly clean the exterior lenses:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping. Use a can
of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush, or an acrylic optical brush.
2. Clear lenses of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil. Fog the
lenses with your own breath, then use a non-abrasive lens cloth to
clean the lenses. Alternately, use a lens
cleaning fluid and optical paper to clean
lenses.
Never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or
flannel clothing on lenses—these materials
can scratch the surface of a lens.
