Frequently Asked Questions - Compact 10x25 National Geographic

How to adjust the interpupillary distance?

Fold the binoculars at the central hinge until you see a single image circle. This adjustment adapts the eyepiece spacing to your eyes.

How to use the binoculars with glasses?

If your binoculars have twist-up eyecups, fold them down. If they have rubber eyecups, fold them down sideways. This reduces the distance between the eyepiece and your glasses.

How to focus?

Close your right eye, then adjust the central wheel for a sharp image with your left eye. Then close your left eye and turn the diopter ring for sharpness with your right eye. Both eyes should see clearly.

Can I mount the binoculars on a tripod?

Yes, the binoculars have a tripod connection thread (9). Use an optional tripod adapter (ref. 19-16000 or 19-16500) to mount them on any standard tripod.

How to clean the lenses?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber) without pressing too hard. For stubborn stains, moisten the cloth with eyeglass cleaner. Avoid scratches.

What are the risks during use?

Never look directly at the sun through the binoculars – risk of blindness. Avoid pointing the lenses at the sun to prevent fires. Do not disassemble the device.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty is 2 years from the date of purchase. You can benefit from a 5-year extension by registering at www.bresser.de/warranty within 3 months of purchase.

How to contact National Geographic customer service?

Call the hotline at +49 (0) 2872 - 80 74-210. In case of defect, contact customer service first before returning the device.

How to dispose of the binoculars at end of life?

Follow sorting rules for packaging. For the device itself, follow local laws on electronic waste disposal. Contact your municipality or environmental service.

What to do if the image is blurry or double?

First check the interpupillary distance adjustment (should form a single circle). Then refocus with the central wheel and diopter ring. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Eyepieces for spectacle wearers

Depending on the model, your binoculars are equipped with either twist-up eyecups (2a) or rubber eyecups (2b). Since there is a larger distance between the binocular eyepiece and the pupil for those wearing glasses, both eyecup varieties can be adjusted individually.

Twist-up Eyecups (2a)

Screw in the twist-up eyecups (2a) to use the binoculars while wearing glasses. If you are not wearing glasses, unscrew the eyecups to achieve the required distance from your pupils.

OR

Rubber Eyecups (2b)

To use the binoculars while wearing glasses, turn the rubber eyecups (2b) toward the sides and down. If you are not wearing glasses, leave the eyecups in the upright position to achieve the required distance from your pupils.

Adjusting the eyepiece distance

The distance between your eyes differs between individuals. To achieve perfect interaction between your eyes and the eyepieces of your binoculars, set the angle at the centre of the binoculars (1) so that you see a circular image (10). Note this setting for later use.

Adjusting the focus

Look through your binoculars with your right eye closed. Now adjust the image for your left eye by turning the centre wheel (6) until it is sharp and clear. Close your left eye and adjust the image for your right eye by turning the dioptre ring (3) until it is also sharp and clear.

Mounting the binoculars on a tripod

Your binoculars have a threaded tripod connection (9) built in.

The required tripod adapter is available in stores as an optional accessory (Art. No. 19-16000 or

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC™

19-16500). With this accessory, you are able to mount your binoculars on a tripod with a DIN mounting thread (e.g. Art. No. 49-22100).

! NOTES on cleaning

• Clean the eyepieces and lenses only with a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microfi bre cloth. To avoid scratching the lenses, use only gentle pressure with the cleaning cloth.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning cloth with an eyeglass-cleaning solution and wipe the lenses gently.
• Protect the device from dust and moisture. After use, particularly in high humidity, let the device acclimatize for a short period of time, so that the residual moisture can dissipate before storing. Remove the dust cover and store it in the included bag during use.

DISPOSAL

• Dispose of the packaging materials properly, according to their type, such as paper or cardboard. Contact your local waste-disposal service or environmental authority for information on the proper disposal.
• Please take the current legal regulations into account when disposing of your device. You can get more information on the proper disposal from your local waste-disposal service or environmental authority.
