Frequently Asked Questions - Primax 8x56 BRESSER

How to adjust the binoculars if I wear glasses?

If you wear glasses, fold down the eyecups (twist-up or rubber) to bring your eyes closer to the lenses. For twist-up eyecups, turn them downwards; for rubber eyecups, fold them sideways. This allows you to get the correct interpupillary distance and a full image.

How to adjust the interpupillary distance?

Fold the binoculars at the central axis (1) until you see a single sharp image circle. The interpupillary distance is correct when you see a single circular image without black areas.

How to focus?

Close your right eye and use the central knob (6) to focus the image for your left eye. Then close your left eye and adjust the diopter ring (3) for your right eye. The image will then be sharp for both eyes.

Can I mount the binoculars on a tripod?

Yes, your binoculars are equipped with a tripod connection thread (9). You will need a tripod adapter (optional, ref. 1916001) to attach them to a Bresser tripod with DIN thread.

How to clean the lenses?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth (microfiber) to clean the lenses. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with lens cleaning liquid and wipe gently. Avoid pressing too hard to prevent scratching the lenses.

What to do if the image is not sharp?

First check the interpupillary distance setting (folding of the central axis). Then refocus with the central knob for the left eye and the diopter ring for the right eye. Make sure the eyecups are correctly positioned depending on whether you wear glasses or not.

What are the risks associated with use?

Never look directly at the sun or near it with the binoculars: risk of irreversible blindness. Do not leave the binoculars exposed to the sun (magnifying effect may cause fire). Keep packaging materials away from children (choking hazard). Maximum operating temperature: 60°C.

What is the warranty period?

The warranty is 5 years from the date of purchase. See full terms at www.bresser.de/warranty_terms. For any repairs, contact your dealer.

Are these binoculars suitable for astronomical observation?

The 8x56 binoculars are mainly designed for terrestrial observation (nature, sports). For astronomy, a higher magnification and a stable tripod are recommended. However, you can observe the Moon or bright star clusters, but the image may lack stability when handheld.

How to store the binoculars correctly?

After use, put the protective caps on the lenses and store the binoculars in the provided pouch. Avoid moisture: if the binoculars have been exposed to high humidity, let them dry at room temperature before storing. Keep them in a dry, dust-free place.

Eyepieces for spectacle wearers P R C

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 eye-cups to achieve the required distance from the pupils.

OR

Rubber Eyecups (2b)

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

Adjusting the eyepiece distance P R C

The distance between the 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 P R C

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

Mounting the binoculars on a tripod P R

Your binoculars have a threaded tripod connection (9) built in. The required tripod adapter is available as an optional accessory (Art. No. 1916001). With this accessory, you are able to mount your binoculars on all BRESSER tripods with a DIN mounting thread (e.g. Art. No. 4922100).

TIPS on cleaning

Lenses (eyepieces and/or object lenses) should be cleaned with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g. microfibre) only. Do not use excessive pressure - this may scratch the lens.

Dampen the cleaning cloth with a spectacle cleaning fluid and use it on very dirty lenses

Protect the device against dirt and dust. Leave it to dry properly after use at room temperature. Then put the dust caps on and store the device in the case provided.
