SAFETY PRECAUTIONS About the binoculars WARNING! Never look at the sun directly while using binoculars. Looking directly at the sun or intense light may seriously damage the eyes or cause blindness. CAUTION!

• Do not leave the binoculars in an unstable place. They may fall and cause injury.

• Do not look through the binoculars while walking. You may walk into unexpected objects and get hurt.

• Do not swing the binoculars by their straps. They may hit someone and cause injury.

• The case, strap, and external materials utilized on binoculars and eyecups may deteriorate due to aging and stain clothes. To prevent this, check their condition before each use, and consult with a Nikon authorized service representative if such deterioration is found.

• If you use the eyecups for a long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If you develop any symptoms, stop use and consult a doctor immediately.

• Be careful not to pinch your finger when adjusting interpupillary distance or diopter. Be particularly careful if you let small children use the binoculars.

• Do not leave the polyethylene bag used for packaging within small children’s reach. Children may put it on their mouths and suffocate.

• Be careful that small children do not inadvertently swallow the cap or eyecup. If it does happen, consult a doctor immediately.

• Do not disassemble the binoculars. Repair should be referred to a Nikon authorized service representative.18

About the loss prevention cord for the caps CAUTION! When moving from one place to another, hold the binoculars instead of holding by the loss prevention cord for the caps. About the tripod adapter CAUTION!

• Securely attach to the tripod by firmly tightening the locking screw of the tripod mount. Be sure to also check that the locking screw is not loose during use.

• Use only after securely tightening the attachment screw. If it is loose, parts may become detached and cause damage to the binoculars.

• Do not remove the screw on the top side of the tripod adapter. Also check that the screw is not loose every time before using the binoculars.

• You can store the tripod adapter in the case while it is attached to the binoculars. When moving from one place to another, remove the tripod adapter from the tripod, and store it in the case while it is attached to the binoculars. When storing for long periods, remove the tripod adapter from the binoculars and store it in the specified location in the case.

• We do not recommend that you move places while the binoculars are mounted on the tripod because this may cause unexpected accidents.

• When moving with the tripod adapter attached to the binoculars, be sure to hold the binoculars, not the tripod adapter.19

• Do not open the right and left binocular tubes beyond their limits. Also, do not rotate the “diopter rings” past their limit.

• Avoid rain, water splashes, sand and mud. Furthermore, this product’s performance is not affected even if it is exposed to light rain or sprays of water due to its waterproof capability. However, make sure to wipe off water drops as quickly as possible.

• Always protect binoculars from shock. If you cannot obtain a normal image after dropping or getting the binoculars wet, take them immediately to a Nikon authorized service representative.

• When exposed to sudden temperature changes, water condensation may occur on lens surfaces. In this case, thoroughly dry the binoculars at room temperature. STORAGE

• Water condensation or mold may occur on lens surfaces because of high humidity. Therefore, store the binoculars in a cool, dry place. After use on a rainy day or at night, thoroughly dry them at room temperature, then store in a cool, dry place.

• For long term storage, keep binoculars in a plastic bag or an airtight container with a desiccant. If this is not possible, store in a clean, well-ventilated place, separate from the case, as they are easily affected by moisture.

• Do not leave the binoculars in a car on a hot or sunny day, or near heat generating equipment. This may damage or negatively affect them.20

1. Make sure that sand or debris do not enter the rotating parts of the “diopter rings”, etc.

2. After having removed dust with a blower, clean the body surface using a soft, clean cloth. After use at the seaside,

lightly soak a soft, clean cloth with water and wipe off salt that may be on the body surface. Then wipe the body surface with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other organic solvent. 3. After lightly blowing away debris or dust on the lens surface with a blower or aerosol spray, remove the rest of the dust with a soft, greaseless brush. 4. When removing stains or smudges like fingerprints from the lens surfaces, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft clean cotton cloth. Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (ethanol) or lens cleaner available in stores to wipe stubborn smudges, from the center of the lens to the outside in a circular motion. Do not use anything hard as it may scratch the lens surface.21
