Congratulations on selecting your new Carson binoculars!

With reasonable care, your binoculars will provide you with years of enjoyment.

In order to achieve optimum performance, please read the instructions

carefully on the proper use and care of your binoculars.

Instructions for Care

Like any fine instrument, your binoculars should be

given sensible care. Keep the lens covers (not included with

some models) on the lenses when binoculars are not in use.

Do not drop or violently jar your binoculars. This may cause the internal optical

components of your binoculars to become misaligned resulting in a double

image when looking through them. Non-waterproof models should not be

exposed to excessive moisture.

Cleaning 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 soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. 3.

There are larger power binoculars available, and most higher power binoculars are usually the variable type, also known as zoom binoculars. A 20x–80x zoom binocular, for instance, has a magnification range from 20 to 80 power. Objective lens: The objective lens (front lens) diameter is listed in millimeters. The larger the lens, the more light can enter the binocular and the brighter the image will be. However, binoculars with smaller lenses are more compact and portable.

Zoom binoculars offer the user a range of magnifications. The zoom function can be operated by hand using a lever, or by switch when driven by a motor. Zoom systems vary by model. Waterproof binoculars and fog-proof binoculars should be nitrogen purged and O-ring sealed in order for their internal lenses to be truly resistant to fogging and/or water damage. Use of a Tripod Adapter: Many binoculars can be mounted to a tripod using a standard binocular tripod adapter.

Roof Prism System: the prisms overlap closely allowing the objective (front) lens to line up directly with the eyepieces. The result is a slim, streamlined shape in which the lenses and prisms that magnify and correct the image are in a straight line. eyepiece objective lens Porro Prism Systems: the objective lens is offset from the eyepiece. Light is redirected through the binocular internally. The result is a shorter, stockier shaped binocular.
PAGE 6
Focusing your binoculars: 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. Adjust the interpupillary distance. 2. Rotate the right eyepiece to its index mark and sight on a fixed distant object. 3. Cover the right objective (front) lens with your hand, then rotate the central focusing wheel until the image in the left eyepiece is sharp.
PAGE 7
Others will not have a center focus wheel, and you must turn each eyepiece independently to focus. Never try and force an eyepiece if it was not designed to turn. This may seriously damage your binocular. Roll-Down Eyecups Your binoculars may be fitted with rubber eyecups designed to exclude extraneous light. If you wear eyeglasses, you may be able to roll-down the eyecups. Some binoculars are outfitted with twisting eyecups which raise and lower the eyecups.
