INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE OF BINOCULARS
Your Bushnell binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you
would give any fine optical instrument. Non-waterproof models should not be exposed to excessive
moisture.
1. If your binocular has roll-down, flexible eyecups, store it with the eyecups up. This avoids
excessive stress and wear on the eyecups in the down position.
2. Avoid banging and dropping.
3. Store in a cool, dry place.
4.
CAUTION
: Looking directly at the sun with your binocular may be very harmful to your
eyes.
5. Never expose your ImageView binocular to any type of excessive of liquid or fluid, as the
binocular is not water/fogproof.
6. Take the batteries out of your ImageView if you are not going to use it for a long period of time.
(Make sure you download any pictures from your camera before you remove the batteries from
the camera.)
CLEANING
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use
of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause
permanent damage. A “microfiber” cleaning cloth (available at most photo dealers) is ideal for
the routine cleaning of your optics.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning
fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never
directly on the lens.
FOCUSING
1. Adjust interpupillary distance. (Figure 1)
2. Set the “diopter setting” (Figure 2) to zero and view a distant object.
3. Keep both eyes open at all times.
4. Using a lens cover or your hand, cover the objective (front) lens of the
same side of the binocular that has the “diopter setting.” This is usually
the right side.
5. Using the center focus wheel, focus on a distant object with fine detail
(e.g., brick wall, tree branches, etc.) until it appears as sharp as possible.
6. Uncover the objective lens on the diopter side, cover the other objective lens, then view the same
object.
7. Using the “diopter setting” adjustment ring, focus the same object being viewed. Caution should
be used as over turning or forcing the diopter eyepiece can cause damage or cause the eyepiece
to break away from the chassis.
8. Your binocular should be adjusted for your eyes. Focus at any far or near distances can now be
attained simply by turning the center focus wheel. Make a note of the diopter setting for your
eyes for future reference.
EYECUPS (Figure 3)
Your Bushnell binocular is fitted with rubber roll-down eyecups designed for
your comfort and to exclude extraneous light. If you wear sun/eyeglasses, roll
down the eyecups. This will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens thus
providing improved field of view.
