pulling it up

. Avoid over-turning or forcing the diopter mechanism. If you are unable to bring the object
into focus for your right eye by adjusting the diopter ring, make sure the left side is still in focus (repeat steps #2-4 if
necessary). The diopter adjustment essentially provides “fine focus” on one side of the binocular (right only) to allow
for slight differences in the vision of your left and right eyes.
6. Your binocular should now be adjusted for your eyes. Focusing for any distance can now be done simply by turning
the center focus knob. Make a note of your diopter setting (position of plus and minus marks on diopter ring relative
to index mark on binocular below the ring) for future reference in case the ring is moved accidentally or by another
person using your binocular. The diopter ring can be pushed down to lock it in place on the 10x42 model.
NECKSTRAP ATTACHMENT
To attach the neckstrap, thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap lug
(Fig. 5)
on each side of the binocular, then back through the plastic buckle on
the strap
(Fig. 6)
. Adjust the position of the binoculars on your chest as they hang
around your neck to your preference, by changing the length of the strap section
which passes through the strap channel and buckle by an equal amount on each
side. If you prefer to use an aftermarket strap that has metal O-rings, attach them
to a plastic zip tie placed on the strap lugs rather than installing them directly on
the lug, to avoid damaging the finish on the binocular via contact with the rings.
TRIPOD MOUNTING (10x36 and 10x42 models only)
To attach the binocular to a tripod or monopod, unscrew or pull off the cap which covers the
threaded socket at the far end of the center hinge
(Fig. 7)
, and set it aside in a safe place. Use
a compatible binocular tripod adapter accessory (90
o
angle bracket), such as the Bushnell
#161002CM, to attach your 10x36 or 10x42 Nitro binocular to any standard tripod in a
horizontal position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.
WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF
Getting caught in a heavy downpour of rain, or accidentally splashing your Nitro binocular during a boating excursion
won’t be a problem. The binocular is manufactured and tested to withstand water exposure up to IPX7 standards. Fogproof
protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal air, which can retain moisture.
All exterior lens surfaces have our new EXO Barrier™ coating (in addition to full multi-coating). EXO Barrier, quite simply,
is the best protective lens coating technology Bushnell has ever developed. Added at the end of the coating process,
