VULTURE® HD
BASIC OPERATION
Adjust the Eyecups
The eyecups on a Vulture®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 best 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 your eyes’ IPD to the binocular
so you see a single image free of shading.

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 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. Look
through your right eye and adjust
the diopter ring (found on the center
dial) until the object is in focus.
Make note of this diopter setting in
case you need to set it again. From
this point on, you will only need to
use the center focus wheel.
CAUTION: Binoculars are not intended for looking at the sun, or
any other intense light source. Such viewing can damage your
eyes to the point of causing blindness.
ACCESSORIES
Carry Case
The protective case of the Vulture®HD provides safe storage between
viewing sessions.
Lens Covers
The Vulture®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.
Neckstrap
Securely attach your binocular to the binocular strap:
1. Thread the end of
the strap from the
bottom, then up
through the strap
attachment loop.
2. Hold the buckle
and thread the end
of the strap inside
the buckle.
3. Adjust the overall
length and pull
the strap webbing
tight so it is secure
within the buckle.
NOTE: Please do not thread a metal ring directly onto the strap attachment
loop when attaching rings or clips for other after-market equipment.
Instead, use nylon zip ties according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

LENS CARE
Maintain the Vulture®HD’s optical brilliance by keeping lens surfaces
free of dirt, oils, and dust.
Protect Lenses While Out in the Field
Make use of the provided eyepiece and tethered objective lens covers
to protect the lenses when not viewing. If the optics are exposed to
moisture, keep the caps off and allow the optics to dry out completely
before putting them in the case for storage.
Keep Lenses Clean
In order to enjoy the best views through your 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.
NOTE: Use 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 lens.
