Frequently Asked Questions - EL 10x50 Swarovski

How to adjust the diopter correction on the EL 10x50 binoculars?

Pull out the focusing wheel, then turn it to set the diopter graduation to '0' if your eyesight is identical. Otherwise, focus with your left eye, pull out the wheel, then adjust with your right eye until sharp. Push the wheel back in.

How to clean the lenses of Swarovski binoculars?

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

What is the warranty of the EL 10x50 binoculars?

The international warranty is 10 years from the date of purchase. The first 5 years cover parts and labor. Repairs must be performed by SWAROVSKI OPTIK.

Can the binoculars be used with glasses?

Yes, turn the rotating eyecups clockwise to the stop (position B). You can also use an intermediate position (C or D) depending on your comfort.

How to attach the carrying strap?

Attach the strap by hooking it on one side of the eyepiece protective cover (recommended) or on both sides. Follow the diagrams in the manual.

What are the risks of looking at the sun with the binoculars?

Never point the binoculars directly at the sun, as this can cause serious and irreversible eye damage.

How to store the binoculars?

Store them in their case in a dry, well-ventilated place. If wet, dry them first. In tropical areas, use a waterproof case with a moisture absorber (silica gel).

Is the focusing the same for both eyes?

The central wheel adjusts sharpness for both eyes simultaneously. If your eyes have different visual acuities, use the diopter correction on the right eyepiece to compensate.

Are the binoculars waterproof?

The manual does not specify waterproofing, but high-end Swarovski binoculars are generally nitrogen-filled and waterproof. For more details, check the official website.

Where can I find additional accessories for the binoculars?

Accessories are available on the website www.swarovskioptik.com. You will find eyecups, straps, cases, etc.

Operation

Adjustment of the twist-in eyecups

In principle, you can choose between four different setting positions that provide varying distances between your eye and the lens. You can set the optimal distance according to your personal preference. This is determined by your facial structure and whether or not you wear spectacles.

Pos. A: Initial position without spectacles: For this, twist out the eyecups anticlockwise to the full extent.

Pos. B: Initial position with spectacles: Twist in the eyecups clockwise until they stop.

Pos. C and D: Alternative positions or interim adjustment stages for spectacle-wearers and non-spectacle-wearers.

EN E

Interpupillary distance adjustment

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

Focusing adjustment

To adjust your object focus from the shortest focusing distance (see Technical Data Sheet) to infinity, simply turn the focusing wheel. In the infinity position, the

little nose of the focusing wheel is situated at the top.

Dioptric compensation

To achieve optimal image quality, it is necessary to correct any varying visual acuity between the left and right eye.

Use with equal acuity of both eyes:

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

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.

1. Press the focusing wheel back in again.

Please note your personal dioptic value on the dioptic scale.

Maintenance and care

Lens-cleaning cloth

You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with the enclosed special microfibre cloth. It is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and spectacles.

Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth becomes soiled it can be washed in lukewarm soapy water and left to dry. Please only use 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 binoculars, 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.

EN E

Storage

You should keep your binoculars in their bag in a dry, well ventilated, place.

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).
