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 near the ring) for future reference in case the ring is moved accidentally or by another
person using your binocular.
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 (select full size models only, not available on compact models)
To attach the binocular to a tripod or monopod (feature provided on some full size models),
unscrew or pull off (varies with model) the cap which covers the threaded (1/4-20UNC) 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 full size binocular on any standard tripod in a horizontal position, to provide a stable
image during prolonged viewing, or when using high power models.
ANTI-REFLECTIVE LENS COATINGS (FULLY COATED/MULTI-COATED)
All models have lenses with a microthin layer of anti-refl ective (AR) coating on every air-to-glass surface. Selected models
have multiple layers of these AR coatings on one or more surfaces (“multi-coated”), providing increased light transmission
for a brighter, clearer image. It’s important to take proper care of your binocular to avoid damage to these lens coatings
that could be caused by improper cleaning methods.
