Tripod Adaptability
PRAKTICA binoculars feature a built-in thread that allows the binoculars to
be attached to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter. This thread can
be accessed by unscrewing the logo plate found on the front of the hinge.
To attach the binocular to a tripod, thread the adapter into the binoculars
and attach the other end of the adapter to a photographic tripod. Mounting
the binoculars on a tripod allows for added stability and comfort during
prolonged viewing.
Neck Strap Attachment
Thread the ends of the neck strap through the strap lugs on each side of the binoculars, then back through the plastic
buckle. Adjust the position of the binoculars on your chest as they hang around your neck by changing the length of
the strap portion which passes through the lug and buckle (by an equal amount on each side).

Maintenance & Care
Your PRAKTICA binoculars will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give any
fine optical instrument.
1) Avoid sharp impacts. Set the binoculars down gently on hard surfaces.
2) Tug on the strap after attaching it to make sure it is securely fastened to the binoculars before placing it around
your neck.
3) Protect the optics of your binoculars by putting on all lens caps when not in use.
4) Store your binoculars in a cool, dry place whenever possible.
5) When storing for an extended period of time, place the binoculars in a plastic bag or airtight container with a
desiccant.
6) Do not leave the binoculars in a car on a hot/sunny day or near anything that generates heat as this may cause
damage.
7) Clean any dust, dirt or water that may get on the binoculars or inside moving parts as soon as possible to prevent
any unforeseen damage.
Cleaning
We have designed all elements and surfaces to require little care. To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your
binoculars, you should keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease. When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger
particles with an optical lens brush. For the subsequent thorough cleaning we recommend breathing onto the lens
surface to form a coat of condensation and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth. The housing is best cleansed with
a soft, moist cloth (don't use the lens-cleaning cloth). In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups can
be unscrewed and cleaned very easily.
