WARNING: Never look at the sun while using your binocular.

Looking at the sun can cause permanent eye damage. Fig 1ENGLISH I 3 The interpupillary distance, or the distance between the pupils, varies from person to person. The binocular must be correctly aligned (adjusted) to the distance between your pupils to achieve a single, clear image. To adjust this distance, lift the binocular up to your eyes (using both hands) and look through them at an object in the distance. Move the two barrels (halves) of the binocular closer together or further apart until you see a single, clear image (Fig. 2). Check that the interpupillary distance is set correctly every time you use your binocular.

ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE

If you don’t wear eyeglasses while using the binocular, keep the folding rubber eye cups in the fully extended position for proper eye relief. If you wish to wear eyeglasses while using the binocular, simply fold the eye edge of the eyecups outward and then down to allow the eyepieces to be placed closer to the surface of your eyeglass lenses for proper eye relief. EYECUP ADJUSTMENT Fig 46 I ENGLISH TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF The Ultima binoculars feature built-in threads that allow the binocular to be attached to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter. These threads can be accessed by unscrewing the logo plate found on the front of the hinge (Fig. 5). To attach the binocular to a tripod, thread the adapter into the binocular and attach the other end of the adapter to a photographic tripod. Mounting the binocular on a tripod allows for added stability and comfort during prolonged viewing. The Ultima series binoculars are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the housing from fogging internally. Fig 5ENGLISH I 7

1. Protect the binocular from impact and do not

force any of the moving parts beyond their limits.

3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place

4. When storing for an extended period of time,

Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to maintaining the optical integrity of your binocular. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of light transmitted through the binocular and your overall viewing experience.

1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft

lens brush or can of pressurized air.

2. Remove any fingerprints, stains or smudges

from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular motion. Start in the middle of the lens and work your way to the edges. Breathe lightly on the lens to provide moisture if needed.

3. For a more thorough cleaning we recommend

the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available at most photo or optical shops. Follow the directions supplied with the cleaning kit for best results.
