In order to set the binocular up for a clear and relaxing image, the eyepiece 

must be adjusted to compensate for the difference between the user’s left 

and right eye.  Note, that the difference between the eyes is individual for 

everyone.  If there will be more than one user for the binocular, each user is 

likely to have a unique eyepiece setting.
The center wheel adjusts focus for both barrels of the binocular.  In 

addition, there is a separate focus adjustment for the right eye, right 

underneath the rubber eyecup.

HOW TO PROPERLY SET UP THE FOCUS:

 Close the right objective of the 

binocular using an objective cover.  

If the objective lens cover is not 

available, you can cover the objective 

with the palm of your hand or close 

the right eye.  However, this will have 

a detrimental effect on the quality of 

the focus adjustment.

 Keeping both eyes open (the 

right eye will not see anything, 

but keep it open), find a steady 

position, point the binocular at 

some not too distant target (

~

20 

yards is ideal) and, using the center 

focusing knob, take your time and 

bring the target into perfect focus.
