Troubleshooting
Image appears blurry or double
Adjust the central focus knob slowly and ensure the diopter adjustment is balanced for both eyes.
Field of view is dark or cut off
Check your interpupillary distance by widening or narrowing the binoculars until the two circular images merge into one clear image.

Use a soft microfiber lens cloth to gently clean the optics; never use paper towels or harsh chemicals that can strip coatings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your binoculars, begin by adjusting the eyecups to fit your eye distance, especially if you wear glasses. Hold the binoculars to your eyes and adjust the center focus knob until the image is sharp. Finally, use the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece to fine-tune the focus for your specific vision. For care, always use a lens cleaning cloth to avoid scratching the coatings. While they are waterproof, avoid submerging them for extended periods and always wipe away moisture before storing them in their included carrying case. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent internal fogging or mold growth.
