Frequently Asked Questions - Swarovision EL SWAROVSKI OPTIK

How to attach the strap to the EL binoculars?

Press the button inward and turn it 90° counterclockwise to remove it. Remove the pin from the ring, pass the strap through the cap loop if necessary, then push the pin into the strap until it clicks. Insert the button into the designated position, press the pin firmly and turn it clockwise until the second click.

How to adjust the diopter correction?

Unlock the diopter correction lock by turning it 180° counterclockwise. For identical visual acuity: pull out the focusing wheel, set the diopter graduation to '0', push in the wheel, then lock the lock. For different eyes: look with the left eye, adjust sharpness with the wheel, pull out the wheel, look with the right eye and adjust, push in the wheel, lock the lock.

How to clean the binocular lenses?

Use a special brush to remove large particles. For deep cleaning, lightly moisten the surface with your breath and wipe with the supplied microfiber cleaning cloth. Use it only for glass surfaces. Wash the cloth in warm soapy water if necessary.

What is the minimum focusing distance?

The minimum focusing distance depends on the model, but is generally about 2.5 to 3 meters. Check the technical datasheet for the exact value of your version.

How to remove the objective lens protective cap?

Open the cap, then pull it firmly downward. Clip the cover onto the metal ring until it clicks. To put the cap back on, push the cover back with your thumb and repeat the operation.

What to do in case of heavy soiling (sand)?

You can fully unscrew the eyecups to facilitate cleaning. Use a brush to remove particles, then clean with the microfiber cloth. Avoid using chemicals.

Where is the serial number located?

The serial number is located under the focusing wheel. To read it, you must remove the focusing wheel. It is usually in the format T123456789.

What warranty is offered on the Swarovision EL binoculars?

Swarovski Optik offers an international warranty of 10 years from the date of purchase. The first 5 years, labor costs are also covered. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, but not damage due to improper use or natural wear.

Can I use the binoculars with glasses?

Yes, the rotating eyecups offer four adjustment positions. For glasses wearers, turn the eyecups clockwise until they stop (position B) or use an intermediate position (C or D) for optimal comfort.

How to store the binoculars?

Store the binoculars in their functional case in a dry, well-ventilated place. If they are wet, dry them first. In tropical or very humid areas, use a waterproof case with a moisture-absorbing product like Silica gel.

3.3 SECURING AND RELEASING THE DIOPTER LOCK

Abstract diagram with concentric circles and a central lock icon, no text or symbols present

The diopter lock is secured by turning it 180° in a clockwise direction. Turning it 180° in a counterclockwise direction releases it again.

3.4 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:

If the diopter lock is secured, release it as described in section 3.3.

1. 2. 3. 4. A A

1. Pull the focusing wheel outwards.
2. By turning the focusing wheel, set the dioptric scale to "0".
3. Push the focusing wheel back in.
4. Secure the diopter lock (see section 3.3).

Use with varying acuity of both eyes:

If the diopter lock is secured, release it as described in section 3.3.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. A A

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.
4. Press the focusing wheel back in again.
5. Secure the diopter lock (see section 3.3).

3.5 ADJUSTING THE FOCUS

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

6.1 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!

6.2 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).

Illustration of a hand holding a spool with a handle, no text or symbols present

In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups can be unscrewed and cleaned easily.

6.3 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 humidity the best place to store the instrument in is an air-tight receptacle along with a

moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).

7. FOR YOUR SAFETY!
