1. 

If you wear glasses or sunglasses when

using binoculars, fold back the rubber eyecup

on each eyepiece (ocular lens) so you can view

complete images. 

2. 

Next, grasp either eyepiece and rotate it

towards or away from the center of the

binocular (the other eyepiece will move equally

in the opposite direction.)

Adjust the interpupillary distance to match the

distance between your eyes until you see just

one perfectly round image.

3. 

There are two steps to focusing: Close your

right eye and use only your left eye as you

adjust the focus control knob (3). When the

image is sharp, close your left eye and open

your right eye. Twist the right eyepiece, to

focus for the right eye. Now open both eyes

and the binocular should be perfectly focused.

You can do this with the StabliEyes turned on

with stabilizing activated or with the power off

completely.

4. 

The StabilEyes power on/off sequence is

simple. Pressing the POWER ON button (1) the

first time activates an internal system check,

causing the LED 

I

(located between the two

eyepieces) to glow orange. Pressing the

POWER ON button a second time activates

stabilization, and the LED 

I

turns green. 

The stabilization mode default is set for LAND

mode (LED 

II

: green). Pressing the MODE

button changes it to ON BOARD mode (LED 

II

:

orange). Pressing the MODE button causes

StabilEyes to switch modes, from ON BOARD

to LAND, or vice versa. Simply select the

stabilization mode that best suits your viewing

situation.

If you press the same button a third time, the

StabilEyes goes on standby (orange LED 

I

again). Press it again, stabilization is

reactivated. You may repeat this process as

often as you wish. Reverting to standby

conserves battery power. On the other hand, if

you leave the StabilEyes in either standby or

stabilization mode for about three minutes

without using it, it will shut itself off

automatically.
