Using the Bino Glove™ Lens Covers
Each Epoch Zoom binocular comes with a pair of
Brunton’s custom neoprene Bino Gloves and neck-
strap. The Bino Gloves are designed to protect
your binocular’s lenses, and they are made to be
easily removed or replaced in the fi eld. It is rec-
ommended that you attach the female ends of the
neckstrap connectors to the binocular strap hooks
before placing the Gloves on the binocular. These
female ends can then be squeezed through the
strap connector eyelets on each Bino Glove. If
you need to remove the Bino Gloves while in the
fi eld, they can be snapped to the neckstrap, keep-
ing them out of your way, yet easily accessible.

1.
NEVER
look directly into the Sun! Severe and permanent eye damage
could occur.
2.
NEVER
expose the EPOCH protective rubber coating to insect repellant
with DEET! Deet causes deterioration of rubber.
3.
ALWAYS
supervise children using the EPOCH! The neck strap could
cause
strangulation.
4. Avoid extreme temperature changes, and protect the EPOCH lenses from
extreme heat and cold. Do not store in your vehicle.
5. Very carefully remove and replace the eyepieces, when cleaning. The
threads are delicate and could strip if care is not taken.
6. Do not wipe coarse debris off of the lenses. Either blow, or remove it
with a small, bristle brush, in a gentle circular motion.
7. Always wipe moisture off the entire binocular before storing in its
hard
case.
8. Storing the EPOCH in its case will prevent damage from dust, debris,
extreme temperature changes, saltwater and high humidity.

Locking Diopter Adjustment
To correct for the difference of visual acuity between your left and right eyes,
the Epoch Zoom is equipped with a diopter adjustment ring. Adjustment can
be made by pulling down the focus wheel and turning the ring left or right,
depending on your needs. After choosing a suitable diopter setting, push the
focus wheel up to lock the ring, preventing readjustment during use.
Variable Speed Focus
TM
The EPOCH is engineered with a Variable Speed Focus system allowing you
to focus from infi nity to 6 feet in less than one rotation. A varying gear ratio
changes the rate of focus smoothly throughout the rotation of the focus
wheel for quick and precise adjustment.
Left Eye Focus Adjustment
1. Completely cover right objective lens to block all light.
2. Look through binocular at an object at least 100 feet away.
Do not look through a window, or anything that could cause
distortion of light.
3. Rotate center focus wheel until left eye is
focused on the object,
fi gure 5
.
Object should be a sharp, detailed
image.
4. Remove EPOCH from your eyes, and
uncover the right objective lens.
Process should take at least 10
seconds to allow your eyes to readjust.

Very little maintenance is required on the EPOCH. However, to obtain the full
optic brilliance of the binocular, both the ocular and objective lenses must be
free of dirt, debris, oil and grease.
EPOCH lens cleaning
Remove large debris particles by blowing on the lenses, or by using a small,
soft bristle brush in a circular motion. Wipe lenses in a gentle circular mo-
tion, using a dry micro-fi ber, optic cleaning cloth.
To remove oil and/or grease, use the moisture in your breath, then wipe in a
gentle circular motion, using the optic cleaning cloth.
Household glass cleaners and lens cleaning solutions are not rec om mend ed.
They can damage the Hard Coat
