This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how to set up and use the binocular, and how to care for it. Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular. Eyecup Adjustment Your Bushnell Spectator Sport binocular features twist-up eyecups (8x25 model has roll- down eyecups) that provide a comfortable view of the full image and help to exclude extraneous light. For use without eyeglasses or sunglasses, twist the eyecups up, rotating the eyecups counterclockwise until they are in the fully “up” position (Fig. 1). If you are wearing glasses, use the eyecups in the “down” position- this will bring your eyes closer to the binocular’s ocular lenses, allowing you to see the full eld of view. To lower the eyecups from the full “up” position, rotate them clockwise (Fig. 2). The eyecups may also be set to a position midway between fully up and fully down, which may better suit some users. IPD (Interpupillary Distance) Adjustment The spacing between the pupils of your eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person. To match your binoculars to your IPD:

1. Point them at a white wall or blank area of the sky (away from the sun). Hold the

binoculars and view through them as you normally would.

2. Grasp each side of the binocular rmly. Move the left and right sides closer

together or farther apart (Fig. 3, next page) until you see a single image with no shaded areas. Fig. 2 Eyecup in “Down” Position (for use with eyeglasses) Fig. 1 Eyecup in “Up” Position (for use without eyeglasses)6 Focus Free Your Spectator Sport binocular is specically designed for viewing subjects at long distances, even when they are fast moving. They are ideal for all stadium sports, hunting game and distant wildlife observation. No focusing or diopter adjustment is necessary-the optics are preset and optomized for distances of about 150 feet or greater (varies with model/magnication). Your eyes will automatically adjust to provide the “ne tuning” for greater distances. If your distant vision requires correction via eyeglasses or contact lenses, you should wear them when using your binocular. The Spectator Sport line of optics is not intended or suitable for viewing subjects at close range such as birds at a backyard feeder. The close focus limit will vary depending on the model and the user’s eyesight.

Adjust the position of the binoculars on your chest as they hang around your neck to your preference, by changing the length of the strap section which passes through the strap channel and buckle by an equal amount on each side. If you prefer to use an aftermarket strap that has metal O-rings, attach them to the “D-ring” at the end of the short strap section rather than installing them directly on the lug, to avoid damaging the nish on the binocular by contact with the rings. Tripod Mounting (50mm porro prism models only-see tech specs table) To attach the binocular to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the “B” logo cap which covers the threaded socket at the far end of the center hinge (Fig. 5), and set it aside in a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter accessory, such as the Bushnell model #161001CM, to attach your Spectator Sport binocular to any standard tripod in a horizontal position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing. Water Resistant Your Bushnell Spectator Sport binocular has been designed for water resistance to protect it from light rain or accidental splashes*. It is not fully waterproof or “purged” and should not be submerged in water to avoid damage. *Note: BS1430 is not water resistant. Changing the Color Tiles (Fig. 6) To personalize your binocular, pry o the black tiles (use a ngernail, key or sm. screwdriver) and replace them with red, white or blue tiles. Insert the wide end Tripod Adapter (Bushnell #161002CM) Fig. 6 Color Tile (wide end)8 rst, then gently pull up the rubber above the narrow end to insert it.

Care of the Optics Your Bushnell Spectator Sport binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give any ne optical instrument.

1. Avoid sharp impacts. Set the binocular down gently on hard surfaces.

2. Tug on the strap after attaching it to make sure it is securely fastened to the binocular before placing it around

3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place whenever possible.

1. First, blow or brush away any dust or debris on the lens (using “canned air” or a soft lens brush).

2. To remove dirt or nger prints, clean with the supplied soft storage bag (made of washable micro-ber cloth),

rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth (including paper towels) or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included storage bag/micro-ber cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the micro-ber cloth.

3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic lens cleaning uid or isopropyl

alcohol may be used. Always apply the uid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

4. To prevent potential damage to the optical coatings on the binocular’s lens surfaces, never use household
