Congratulations

Thank you for purchasing Nikon StabilEyes 12x32. Be sure to read this manual

thoroughly for proper use.

• The StabilEyes 12x32 uses advanced technology in optics, electronics, and

ergonomics.

• The StabilEyes 12x32 is waterproof, can be used in rainy weather, and floats

on water.

• The StabilEyes 12x32's stabilization feature cancels out the effects of external

vibration and shaking that occurs with hand-held use, for stable viewing

without a tripod.

• You can enjoy stable viewing and clear images even from a moving car,

sailboat, motorboat, or airplane.

• When stabilization is activated, you can pause it by pressing the "VR PAUSE"

button to minimize image instability while panning, shifting among objects in

view, or viewing moving objects.

• The lenses are multilayer-coated to give you a wide field of view and reduce

eye fatigue. The prisms are phase correction coated to provide sharp contrast

and bright images.

Precautions and Warnings

w

WARNING:

High level warning against severe personal harm or serious product damage.

w

CAUTION:

Precautions that should be followed in order to prevent damage to the product or injury to those

using it.

w

WARNING:

Never look directly at the sun or any bright light through the binoculars. Serious

harm, including loss of vision, can result.

w

CAUTION:

• StabilEyes binoculars are waterproof, but cannot

be used in water. Although they float on water,
you should pick them up as soon as possible if
they are dropped into water. They can be
damaged if water, dust, sand or other foreign
material get inside. Do not open the battery
compartment in a marine, high-humidity or dusty
environment, as the interior of the binoculars can
be compromised. Whether using internal batteries
or external power, make sure the O-ring and
battery holder or adapter are firmly seated, and
locked in position.

• Do not change batteries or power connections in

wet or dusty conditions.

• Confirm that the battery holder is correctly

attached in position and firmly locked.

• To help prevent impact damage from dropping or

falling, do not place the StabilEyes on slippery or
unstable surfaces. Also, be aware that damage
arising from abuse or misuse can void the
StabilEyes warranty.

• If you plan to leave the binoculars stored for long

periods of time, keep them in a cool, dry location
and remove the batteries or damage could result
from leakage. 

• When batteries must be replaced, replace all at

the same time, using the same type and brand.

• Never attempt to burn batteries in a fire. An

explosion could result.

• While Ni-Cd batteries are rechargeable, never

attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, Never
short circuit the batteries.

• Avoid extreme hot and cold temperatures and

rapid changes. (For example, if the binoculars
have been used in very cold conditions,
bringing them into a heated environment could
cause condensation to build up. Allow time for
a gradual adjustment.)

• If you use the StabilEyes at sea, Nikon

recommends that you rinse them clean by
dipping them in fresh water, without pouring
water onto them directly, following exposure
to salt spray/salt air.

• Avoid leaving the binoculars unattended and

exposed to direct sunlight. Sunlight rays
passing through the lenses could cause a fire.

• Never try to walk and use the binoculars at the

same time; accident and injury could result.

• Do not swing the binoculars by the neckstrap;

the binoculars might strike and injure someone
or be damaged by hitting a solid object.

• Please dispose of any plastic bags that may

come with StabilEyes; such bags could
suffocate or choke a small child.

• Prolonged use with contact of the rubber

eyepieces against the skin can cause irritation.
If such a condition persists, consult you
doctor.

• If you experience any problem with your

StabilEyes binoculars, never attempt to repair
them yourself or have them repaired by
anyone other than NIKON VISION CO., LTD.
Return it to your local dealer or directly to
NIKON.
