Frequently Asked Questions - SLC 8x56 Swarovski

How to attach the carrying strap?

Two methods possible: mounting with the eyepiece protective cap attached on one side (recommended) or with the cap attached on both sides. Follow the illustrations in the manual.

How to adjust the rotating eyecups?

For eyeglass wearers, turn the eyecups clockwise until they stop (position B). Without glasses, turn fully counterclockwise (position A). There are also intermediate positions C and D.

How to adjust the interpupillary distance?

Spread the two tubes of your binoculars until you see a single circular image without disturbing shadows at the edges.

How to adjust the diopter?

If your visual acuity is identical for both eyes, set the diopter scale to 0. Otherwise, first adjust sharpness with the left eye using the focus wheel, then pull out the wheel and adjust for the right eye. Press the wheel back after adjustment.

What is the minimum focusing distance?

The minimum focusing distance is approximately 3.5 meters. Check the technical specification for the exact value.

How to clean the lenses?

Use the provided microfiber cloth. First remove large particles with a brush, then lightly moisten the surface with your breath and wipe with the cloth. For the body, use a soft, damp cloth.

Can I use a tripod with these binoculars?

Yes, remove the cover of the tripod connector with a coin and use the SLC tripod adapter (sold separately).

What safety precautions should I take?

Never look directly at the sun with the binoculars, as this could cause eye damage. Also avoid using them while walking to avoid hitting obstacles.

How to store the binoculars?

Store them in their case in a dry, well-ventilated place. If they are wet, dry them first. In humid areas, use a waterproof case with a silica gel packet.

What does the 10-year warranty cover?

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. For the first 5 years, labor is included. Wear parts (eyecups, strap, case) are excluded. Repairs must be carried out by SWAROVSKI OPTIK.

Operation

Adjustment of the screw-in-type eye cups

Basically, there are three (SLC 42) or four (SLC 56) different adjustment positions available with different distances between the eye and the lens. This allows you to adjust the eye cups individually to your personal preference.

Adjustment of interpupillary distance

To see a single round image, turn the two halves of the binoculars until no irritating shadows can be seen.

Adjustment of focusing

Illustration of hands holding binoculars with a clock on the screen (no text or symbols)

It is possible to bring every subject into focus from the shortest adjustment distance (see technical data sheet) to infinity by turning the focusing wheel.

In the infinity position the little nose of the focusing wheel is at the top.

Dioptric compensation

To achieve optimal image quality, the possibly varying visual acuity between the left and right eye must be corrected.

Use with equal acuity of both eyes:

1. Pull the focusing wheel outwards.
2. By turning the focusing wheel, set the dioptric scale to "0".
3. Push the focusing wheel back in.

2. 1. 3.

Use with varying acuity of both eyes:

1. Look through the left ocular with your left eye and turn the focusing wheel to focus sharply on a selected object.
2. Pull the focusing wheel outwards.
3. Now look at the same object through the right ocular with your right eye and again adjust the focusing wheel to attain optimal clarity.
4. Press the focusing wheel back in again.

TIP: Please note your personal dioptric setting on the dioptric scale. With it you may adjust your individual dioptric setting anytime.

Tripod connector

Remove the covering for the tripod connector thread on the underside of the binoculars using a small coin. To mount the binoculars on a tripod, you will need the tripod adapter for SLC, which is sold separately as an accessory.

Maintenance and care

Lens-cleaning cloth

You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with the enclosed special cloth made of micro-fibres. It

is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and eye-glasses.

Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth gets dirty, it can be washed in luke-warm soapy water and air-dried.

Please use it exclusively for cleaning lens surfaces!

Cleaning

We have designed all elements and surfaces to require little care.

To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your binocular, you should keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease.

When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger particles with an optical lens brush. For the subsequent thorough cleaning we recommend breathing onto the lens surface to form a coat of condensation and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth.

The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist cloth (don't use the lens-cleaning cloth).

In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups can be unscrewed and cleaned very easily.

Storage

You should keep your binocular in its bag in a well-ventilated, dry place.

SLC-Aged

If the instrument is wet, it must be dried prior to storage.

In tropical regions or regions with a high degree of humidity the best place to

store the instrument in is an air-tight receptacle along with a moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).
