Ventana
™
8x27 WP Binocular
Congratulations on your purchase of a precision Orion binoc-
ular. This rugged, ergonomically-designed compact binocular
is nitrogen-purged and sealed to be completely fogproof and
waterproof. It features a slightly larger aperture than a typical
binocular of its class, for brighter images, while maintaining a
light weight. You’ll find the Ventana an excellent companion
for birding, sailing, camping, kayaking, or other outdoor pur-
suits. With proper care and use, it will provide many years of
superb, enjoyable viewing. To get the most from your binoc-
ular, please read all of the following instructions.
Warning: Never look at the Sun with binoculars or any
other optical instrument! Severe and permanent eye dam-
age could result. On sunny days, children should use this
binocular only with adult supervision.
Adjusting for the Distance
Between Your Eyes
The distance between the eyepiece lenses of the binocu-
lar should be adjusted to match the distance between your
eyes, called the “interpupillary distance.” To adjust the
binocular, hold each barrel firmly; move them together or
apart while looking through the binocular with both eyes
until you see a single, round field. Make this adjustment
before focusing.
