Frequently Asked Questions - OperaView Carson

How do I adjust the binoculars for my eyes?

First, adjust the interpupillary distance by rotating the barrels until you see a single circular field. Then, with your right eye closed, use the center focus wheel to sharpen the left eye image. Finally, with your left eye closed, rotate the independent right diopter eyepiece to sharpen the right eye image.

What should I do if I wear glasses?

If you wear glasses, fold down or twist down the eyecups to bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens. Then follow the normal focusing steps.

How should I clean the lenses?

First, blow away dust or use a soft lens brush. For dirt or fingerprints, clean with a microfiber cloth in a circular motion. For thorough cleaning, use photographic lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, never directly on the lens. Do not use abrasives or chemical cleaners.

Can I view the sun with these binoculars?

No. Do not view the sun with these binoculars as it can cause permanent eye damage.

Are these binoculars waterproof?

These binoculars are not waterproof. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture. Non-waterproof models should not be used in rain or near water.

How do I reset the diopter if I cannot focus?

If you cannot focus, reset the adjustable right diopter by lining up the symbols (triangle, line, circle, etc.) on the diopter eyepiece and barrel. Then repeat the focusing steps with the center wheel and diopter.

What is the independent right diopter for?

The independent right diopter eyepiece compensates for small differences in the strength of each eye, allowing you to adjust the right eye focus independently after setting the center focus.

How should I store the binoculars?

Keep the lens cover on the lenses when not in use (if included). Store in a dry place. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture.

What if I still see a double image?

If you see a double image, first ensure the interpupillary distance is correctly adjusted to a single circular field. If the problem persists, the internal alignment may be off. Do not attempt to open the binoculars; contact customer service.

EYE ADJUSTMENTS: HOW TO ADJUST FOR DISTANCE BETWEEN THE EYES

The distance between the eyes, interpupillary distance, varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eye:

1. Hold binoculars in normal viewing position.
2. Rotate barrels closer or farther apart until you see a single circular field.

INDIVIDUALLY ESTABLISHING LEFT/RIGHT EYE FOCUS:

Most binoculars have a center focus wheel and an independent right diopter eyepiece to account for small differences in the strength of each eye. Please follow the steps below to focus properly:

1. Eyecups should be fully extended if you don't wear glasses. If you wear glasses, twist/roll down eyecups to bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens.
2. With right eye closed, rotate the central focusing kwheel until the image in the left eyepiece is sharp.
3. With left eye closed, rotate the independent right diopter eyepiece until the image is sharp.
4. Image should now be focused to your individual eye strength and will retain setting for future use.
   Note: If you still cannot focus, rotate adjustable right diopter to reset by lining up symbols (triangle, line, circle, etc.) on diopter eyepiece and barrel. Then repeat Focusing Steps 2 and 3.

FOCUSING YOUR BINOCULARS:

While viewing an image, adjust the center focus wheel for distance.

CLEANING AND CARE:

Cleaning must be done safely and carefully to avoid scratching the lenses and permanently damaging your binoculars. Safe cleaning can be accomplished by following the procedure below:

1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt, grease, or fingerprints, clean with a microfiber cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic type lens cleaning fluid may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth, never directly to the lens. Do not use any abrasives, chemical cleaners, or solvents.
4. Never attempt to clean your binoculars internally or try to take them apart. This may cause the internal optical components of your binoculars to become misaligned resulting in a double image when looking through them.
5. Keep the lens cover (not included with some models) on the lenses when binoculars are not in use.
6. Non-waterproof models should not be exposed to excessive moisture.

Caution: Do not view the sun with this binocular. Viewing the sun can cause permanent eye damage.
