Focusing the Binocular
Choose an object that is about 20 yards away from you
and follow this two-step process to properly adjust the
focus. Be sure to stay in the same spot until you have
adjusted both the center focus and diopter.
1. Adjust the center focus
Start by closing your right eye or
covering the right objective lens with
your hand. Adjust the center focus
wheel until the image is in focus.
Leave the center focus in this position
as you adjust the diopter.
2. Adjust the diopter
Start by closing your left eye or covering the left objective
lens with your hand. Look through your right eye and
adjust the diopter until the object
is in focus. Make note of this
diopter setting in case you need
to set it again.
From this point on, you will
only need to use the center
focus dial.
The reticle focus is located on the left ocular as you hold
the binocular. This focus is used to adjust the reticle image
until it is clear and sharp. Focusing the reticle is easiest
when closing the right eye while setting this focus. When
looking at a white wall or the sky, adjust the reticle focus
until the reticle
image is clear
and sharp.
Once set for a
particular user,
the reticle
focus can be
left in place.

Diopter
Binoculars are not intended for looking at the sun, or any other intense light
source. Such viewing could damage the retina and cornea of your eyes—even
to the point of causing blindness.
