ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD) The interpupillary distance, or the distance between the pupils, varies from person to person. The binocular must be correctly aligned (adjusted) to the distance between your pupils to achieve a single, clear image. To adjust this distance, lift the binocular up to your eyes (using both hands) and look through them at an object in the distance. Move the two barrels (halves) of the binocular closer together or further apart until you see a single, clear image (Fig.
SETTING THE DIOPTER / FOCUSING To ensure a crisp, sharp image the focusing system of the binocular must be set to compensate for any differences in your eyesight. This is achieved by setting the diopter (located on the right eyepiece) before use. To set the binocular to your eyesight follow the instructions below. 1. View an object in the distance through the binocular. 2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand or the objective lens cap. 6.
EYECUP ADJUSTMENT The Gamekeeper binoculars feature twist-up eyecups to accommodate both eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers. If you do not wear eyeglasses, twist the eyecups counterclockwise until they reach the up position. If you wear eyeglasses, make sure that the eyecups are in the down position to obtain the maximum field of view. The eyecups can be set at positions between fully up and down which may suit some users better. Fig.
TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY The 42 and 50 mm versions of the Gamekeeper binoculars feature built-in threads that allow the binocular to be attached to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter. These threads can be accessed by unscrewing the logo plate found on the front of the hinge (Fig. 5). To attach the binocular to a tripod, thread the adapter into the binocular and attach the other end of the adapter to a photographic tripod.
CARE AND STORAGE Your Celestron binocular will provide you years of dependable service if it is cared for and stored properly. 4. When storing for an extended period of time, place the binocular in a plastic bag or airtight container with a desiccant. 1. Protect the binocular from impact and do not force any of the moving parts beyond their limits. 5. Do not leave the binocular in a car on a hot/ sunny day or near anything that generates heat as this may cause damage. 2.
CLEANING Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to maintaining the optical integrity of your binocular. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of light transmitted through the binocular and your overall viewing experience. 1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft lens brush or can of pressurized air. 2. Remove any fingerprints, stains or smudges from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular motion.
