Thank you for choosing a Leupold® binocular. We trust that all the work we put into it will reward you with years of enjoyment and trouble-free use.

Using Your Leupold® Binocular

Using your Leupold binocular is very simple. However, you must set them to match your eyesight before use. This is done by adjusting the interpupillary distance and focusing the binoculars to your own visual acuity.

ADJUSTING INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE

The interpupillary distance is simply the distance between the pupils of your eyes. To ensure a clear, single image, the binocular must be set so that the center of each ocular lens is the same distance apart as your own pupils.

TO SET THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE:

1. Hold the binocular up to your eyes in the normal manner.

2. Look through the binocular with both eyes open.

3. Move the two barrels (halves) up or down until you see a single, circular image.

SETTING THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

Setting the diopter adjustment of your binocular properly is very important, as properly adjusted binoculars will prevent eye strain and provide you with a crisp, sharp image.

TO SET THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT ON RIGHT EYEPIECE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT MODELS INCLUDING ACADIA (EXCEPT ACADIA 32MM):

1. View an object about 100 yards in the distance.
2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand.
3. Adjust the center focus wheel (located between the two barrels) until the image presented to your left eye is clear and sharp.
4. Cover the left objective lens with your hand.
5. Adjust the diopter adjustment dial located around the right barrel, near the eyepiece, until the image presented to your right eye is clear and sharp. Acadia users will make this adjustment using the small lever between the barrels, near the center focus wheel.

Your binocular is now focused for your eyesight. To make any adjustments in the field, simply turn the center focus dial while viewing through both barrels.

TO SET THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT ON CENTER FOCUS DIAL DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT MODELS (EXCEPT CASCADES AND MOJAVE):

1. View an object about 100 yards in the distance.
2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand.
3. Adjust the center focus wheel (located between the two barrels) until the image presented to your left eye is clear and sharp.
4. Cover the left objective lens with your hand.
5. Pull up the the diopter adjustment dial on the top of the center focus dial and adjust the diopter adjustment dial until the image presented to your right eye is clear and sharp.
6. Push down the lockable diopter adjustment dial so that it locks into place. Your binocular is now focused for your eyesight.

To make any adjustments in the field, simply turn the center focus dial while viewing through both barrels.

TO SET THE DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT ON CENTER FOCUS DIAL DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT MODELS (INCLUDING CASCADES AND MOJAVE):

CLEANING

You can clean the fully armored body by simply wiping off any accumulated dirt or dust.

Clean the lenses as you would a camera lens. For optimal cleaning, use the Leupold Lens Cleaning System. Begin by using the brush to whisk away dust.

Then use the microfiber cleaning tip, which is impregnated with a special non-liquid cleaning compound, to clean the glass. If you don't have a Leupold Lens Cleaning System, use a standard lens brush to remove dust and then pure alcohol, high-grade glass cleaner, or pure water on a cotton swab.

A NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WEAR EYEGLASSES

Leupold binoculars feature eyecups you can twist, or push up and down to accommodate the eye relief distance required when wearing eyeglasses.
