Congratulations on purchasing the SIB  

16x50M Stabilized Image Binoculars. 

 

 

Please read carefully the user manual prior to activation 

 
This unique optical instrument utilizes a revolutionary patented mechanical 
system (no need for batteries!) to deliver a stabilized image. An observer can 
use this high power magnification binocular aboard aircraft, land vehicles, 
boats or other moving or vibrating platforms. 
 

PRECAUTIONS: 

 

The SIB 16x50M is a sophisticated mechanical apparatus, and should be 
handled with due care: 

  Never disassemble the unit 

  Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust, permanent 

moisture, and sudden changes of temperatures. 

  Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may damage the 

anti-reflection coating. 

  Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional camera 

lens cleaning supplies. 

  To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean cloth. 

  Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary. 

  Keep away from heating appliances and central heating. 

  Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens assembly, agile 

elements and thread connections. 

 

OPERATION: 

 

 

Unpack the unit from the box. Remove the lens covers (2). 

 

Adjust the distance between the eyes turning both eyepiece assemblies 
in the plane (4) until two images converge into one. This adjustment is 
made tough intentionally to provide enhanced water resistance. 

 

Adjust the focus individually for both eyes using the rotating eyepieces 
until the image is sharp. 

 

To activate the stabilization mechanism, press and hold the button (5) 
with your thumb. The button is located on the left side, at the bottom of 
the unit. 

 

To disengage the stabilization mechanism, release the button.
