Focus Lock - Bushnell CUSTOM GOLD Mode D'emploi

6. Make sure the center focus knob is pulled up, into the unlocked position-it should be
able to rotate freely (Fig 3).
7. Using the center focus knob, focus on a distant object with fine detail (e.g., brick wall,
tree branches, etc.), until it appears as sharp as possible.
8. Uncover the objective lens on the right side, then cover the left objective lens, and view
the same object.
9. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring to focus the same distant object in the right side. Avoid
over turning or forcing the diopter mechanism-if you are unable to bring the object into focus
with the diopter adjustment, make sure the left side is still focused correctly with the center
knob. The diopter adjustment only affects the right side.
10. Your binocular should now be adjusted for your eyes. Focusing for any distance can
now be done simply by turning the center focus wheel. Make a note of the diopter
setting for your eyesight (line on the diopter dial that is lined up with the index mark)
for future reference.

FOCUS LOCK

The Custom Gold also features a special focus lock feature. After focusing on a subject, the setting
can be locked by simply pushing the knob in (down) (Fig.3). This is useful when you will be observing
a subject at a consistent distance for an extended time period, to make sure you don't accidently
shift or bump the focus setting unintentionally, or when you want to pass the binoculars around in a
group that is taking turns viewing the same subject.
WATERPROOF/FOGPROOF
Your Bushnell Custom Gold binocular has been designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof and
fogproof technology. Custom Gold binoculars are O-ring sealed for complete moisture protection.
Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal moisture.
EYECUP ADJUSTMENT (Fig. 4)
Your Bushnell Custom Gold binocular is fitted with twist-up eyecups designed for your comfort and
to exclude extraneous light. For users without eyeglasses, rotate the eyecups counter-clockwise until
they lock into the fully "up" position (Fig. 4). If you wear glasses, make sure the eyecups are in the fully
down position- this will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens, allowing you to see the full field
of view. To lower the eyecups from the full "up" position, rotate them clockwise. It is also possible to set
the eyecups to a middle position "in between" fully up and fully down, which may suit some individuals
better.
NECKSTRAP (Fig. 5)
Thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap lugs on each side of the binocular, then back
through the plastic buckle (Fig. 5). Adjust the position of the binoculars on your chest as they hang
around your neck to your preference by changing the length of the strap portion which passes
through the lug and buckle (by an equal amount on each side).
TRIPOD MOUNT* (Fig. 6)
To attach the Custom Gold to a tripod or monopod, unscrew
(counter-clockwise) the "B" logo cap which covers the threaded
socket inside the center hinge (Fig. 6), and set it aside in a safe
place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter, such as the
Bushnell model #161002CM, (an accessory bracket, shown right,
which goes between the binocular and tripod) to attach your
Custom Gold to any standard tripod in a horizontal position to
provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.
