Troubleshooting
Image is blurry
Refocus using the center focus wheel and diopter adjustment. Ensure the eyepieces are clean.
Difficulty focusing on close objects
Ensure the focus wheel is turned to the closest focusing distance (1.3 m).
Fogging in the lenses
This is unlikely due to the nitrogen-filled construction, but if it occurs, allow the binoculars to dry in a well-ventilated area.
View is not circular
Adjust the interpupillary distance (IPD) until the image merges into a single circle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Kowa BD II 8x32 XD Binoculars:
- Adjust the interpupillary distance (IPD) by moving the barrels closer or farther apart until a single, circular image is seen.
- Focus by using the center focus wheel to bring distant objects into sharp focus.
- Adjust the diopter on the right eyepiece for any remaining focus differences between your eyes.
Compatibility: These binoculars are designed for use in various weather conditions and are suitable for users with or without eyeglasses, thanks to the twist-up eyecups.
