Frequently Asked Questions - Passion ED 8x32 GPO

How to adjust the focus?

Turn the central focusing wheel until the image is sharp. To compensate for differences between your eyes, use the diopter compensation wheel located on the right eyepiece after adjusting focus with your left eye.

Can I use the binoculars with glasses?

Yes. Turn the eyecups fully clockwise to adapt them for glasses wearers. The eyecups have two positions: raised position for use without glasses, lowered position for use with glasses.

How to clean the lenses?

Use the supplied optical cloth. Before wiping, gently blow or brush away coarse particles to avoid scratching the coating. Clean by breathing mist onto the lenses, then wipe with the cloth.

What to do if the image is blurry?

First check the central focus adjustment and diopter compensation. Make sure the interpupillary distance is correct (you should see a single circle). If the problem persists, clean the lenses or contact an authorized repairer.

How to adjust the interpupillary distance?

Fold the center hinge of the two halves until you see a single circular image with both eyes open. The interpupillary distance ranges from 56 to 73 mm.

Are the binoculars waterproof?

Yes, the GPO Passion ED 8x32 binoculars are waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent internal fogging. They are weather-resistant but not designed for prolonged immersion.

Can I observe the sun with these binoculars?

No, absolutely not. Direct observation of the sun or intense light sources can cause irreversible eye damage due to the magnifying effect of the optics. Always use the protection caps when not in use.

How to attach the strap?

Thread the neoprene strap through the strap attachments located on each binocular tube, then fold it back on itself. Make sure the strap is securely fastened before wearing the binoculars.

Where to find spare parts?

Contact your specialist dealer or directly GPO GmbH & Co. KG. Repairs must be carried out by authorized repairers to preserve the warranty.

How to store the binoculars?

Store them in the supplied case in a dry, well-ventilated place. In case of high humidity, keep them in a sealed container with a moisture absorbent product to prevent mold.

Safety information

Please carefully read these safety instructions and follow these guidelines when using this product.

Never look directly into the sun, bright light sources or laser based light sources through your binocular. This can cause irreparable eye damage. Optics in binoculars function as a magnifying glass, therefore dramatically increasing the intensity of the light source.

Store the binocular and all accessories included with this product out of the reach of children. Some of our products may contain small parts which could create a choking hazard for small children, or nylon straps which could create a strangulation hazard.

Be cautious when touching metal parts when the product has been stationary and extensively exposed to the sun or to freezing cold, as extremely hot or extremely frozen metal components may cause an injury to exposed skin.

After using this product, always use the protective covers provided to avoid accidental light magnifying, which may create a fire.

Avoid improper shock, such as dropping this product. It is an optical instrument and damage may occur

Eyecup adjustment

The rotary eyecup has two break positions for different applications. The different break positions allow you to custom adjust the distance between your eye and the ocular lens. This beneficial feature allows you to be able to adjust the eye distance to your personal preferences. This adjustment creates additional benefits for use with and without eye glasses.

Use with glasses:

Most frequently, users wearing eye-glasses will need to adjust the rotary eyecups completely down. Twist the eyecups clockwise.

Use without glasses:

Most frequently, users not wearing eyeglasses will need to adjust the rotary eyecup completely up. Twist the eyecup counterclockwise until the eyecup is fully extended. Users not wearing eyeglasses may also find the full field of view more comfortable with the eyecup slightly rotated down. For this purpose, there are additional break positions for your use and your personal preference.

Adjustment of the interpupillary distance (ipd)

Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of the pupils of the two eyes. For a full "field of view", the IPD of the binocular must be adjusted to match the IPD of the user. This can be accomplished by simply opening or closing (buckling) the center hinge of both binocular halves while looking through the binocular. The IPD adjustment is correct when you can see a clear single circular picture with both eyes open.

Adjustment of the diopter

since most users have a minor visual acuity difference between their left eye and right eye, the diopter is an adjustment feature that allows the user to custom focus each side of the binocular to the correct vision of each eye. To compensate for possible imbalances of the vision between both eyes, you can adjust this binocular to your individual needs. The diopter adjustment ring is located on the right ocular below the eyecups. Make sure the interpupillary distance (IPD) is adjusted correctly. See instruction above.

Your binocular is now adjusted to your personal visual acuity in each eye. The diopter is locked in place and will not need further adjustment. You can now view any object at any distance by using the center focus wheel.

Care, cleaning and maintenance

You can clean the optics of your product with the optical micro-fiber cleaning cloth provided with your product, or by using other lens cleaning equipment solely intended for optical cleaning purposes.

Be sure to keep the optical surfaces clean and immediately remove any dirt or oil debris caused by grease (finger prints), oil or water spots to guarantee consistent optical quality.

To clean the exterior lenses of your product, be sure to first remove any granular dirt or debris that may cause scratching during the cleaning process. Be aware that rough granular dirt particles must be removed with either an air bellows or a clean hair brush. Otherwise, this may lead to damage of the optical coating or scratches on your lens. Once large debris is removed, slightly breath onto the optical surfaces to create a damp fog, then use the dry optical cleaning micro-fiber cloth provided to clean the lens surfaces. All other outside mechanical parts, as well as the rubber armor, can be cleaned with a normal soft, clean and slightly damp cloth. Please do not use the optical cleaning micro-fiber cloth to clean the outside parts or the rubber armor. This micro-fiber cloth must remain free of any physical granular debris.

Proper storage

After using the binocular it is recommended to store it dry, in the case that came with your product, in a well-ventilated room, at normal to low humidity levels, in normal room temperatures.

If you use your product in a region with high humidity, store your product in an airtight container with a humidity absorption aid to avoid any exterior fungus adhesion

Spare parts

If you need spare parts or accessories for your binocular, please contact an authorized dealer or GPO GmbH & Co. KG.
