Troubleshooting
Image is blurry
Adjust the central focus wheel until the image is sharp. Also, check the diopter setting on the right eyepiece.
Difficulty focusing
Ensure the interpupillary distance is correctly adjusted. Start by looking through the binoculars with both eyes open, then adjust the distance between the eyepieces until the images merge into one.
Fogging inside the lenses
This is unlikely due to the rainproof design, but if it occurs, allow the binoculars to dry out in a well-ventilated area. Avoid sudden temperature changes.
