Product care and storage

Turn ON the Vibration Control switch. The pilot lamp flashes green when turned ON. 

Turn ON the Vibration Control function to activate image stabilization, allowing for 

capturing stable images even in vibration-affected locations such as a ship, car, or 

helicopter. This product has a 10min auto timer off function, so the Vibration Control 

turns OFF after 10 minutes have passed, and the pilot lamp goes out automatically. 

Even if the Vibration Control function turns OFF, the switch stays ON, so turn the switch 

OFF again and turn ON the power again. To turn OFF the Vibration Control function, 

turn OFF the Vibration Control switch.

If the lever is not fully in place it will malfunction, so switch firmly between ON and OFF.

* This product can be used as binoculars whether the Vibration Control function  is ON 

or OFF.

* When the power is turned ON or OFF the image skips, but this doesn't indicate a problem with the horizontal optical axis.

* If the pilot lamp is blinking, the battery is dying, so please change the battery. When the battery is dying, the Vibration 

Control function may stop functioning properly.
