models may vary
III. WATERPROOF/FOG-PROOF
(select models)
Your binocular may be designed and built utilizing the
latest waterproof and fog-proof technology.
Waterproof models are O-ring sealed for complete
protection. Fog proof protection is achieved from dry
nitrogen purging to remove all internal moisture.
IV. EYECUPS
Your binocular is fitted with either rubber roll-down
or rubber pop-up eyecups designed for your comfort
and to exclude extraneous external light. If you wear
sun/eye glasses, roll down the eyecups. This will
bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens thus
providing improved field of view.
V. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE
If handled with care, this binocular will provide years
of trouble-free service. Like any fine optical
instrument your binocular should be given sensible
care. Non waterproof models should not be exposed
to excessive moisture.
1. Keep the lens covers (that come with your
binocular, except compact models) on the
lenses when binoculars are not in use.
2. Store binoculars with the eyecups up. Thus
avoiding excessive stress and wear on the
eyecups in the down position.
3. Avoid banging and dropping.
4. Store in a cool, dry place.
5. Looking directly at the sun with your binocular
may be very harmful to you eyes.
VI. CLEANING
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or
use a soft lens brush)
2. To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a
soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion.
Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing
may scratch the lens surface and eventually
cause permanent damage.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic
lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning
fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always
apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth-never
directly on the lens.
VERY IMPORTANT
Never attempt to clean your binocular internally or try
to take it apart.
