5. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring located directly below the right eyecup (Fig. 4), NOT
the center focus knob to bring the object into focus in the right side of the binocular.
On the 10x42 model, be sure to unlock the diopter ring first by pulling it up (see Fig.
4). Avoid over-turning or forcing the diopter mechanism. If you are unable to bring the
object into focus for your right eye by adjusting the diopter ring, make sure the left side is
still in focus (repeat steps #2-4 if necessary). The diopter adjustment essentially provides
"fine focus" on one side of the binocular (right only) to allow for slight differences in the
vision of your left and right eyes.
6. Your binocular should now be adjusted for your eyes. Focusing for any distance can now
be done simply by turning the center focus knob. Make a note of your diopter setting
(position of plus and minus marks on diopter ring relative to index mark on binocular
below the ring) for future reference in case the ring is moved accidentally or by another
person using your binocular. The diopter ring can be pushed down to lock it in place on the 10x42 model.
NECKSTRAP ATTACHMENT
To attach the neckstrap, thread the ends of the neckstrap through the strap lug
(Fig. 5) on each side of the binocular, then back through the plastic buckle on
the strap (Fig. 6). 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 section
which passes through the strap channel and buckle by an equal amount on each
side. If you prefer to use an aftermarket strap that has metal O-rings, attach them
to a plastic zip tie placed on the strap lugs rather than installing them directly on
the lug, to avoid damaging the finish on the binocular via contact with the rings.
TRIPOD MOUNTING (10x36 and 10x42 models only)
To attach the binocular to a tripod or monopod, unscrew or pull off the cap which covers the
threaded socket at the far end of the center hinge (Fig. 7), and set it aside in a safe place. Use
a compatible binocular tripod adapter accessory (90
#161002CM, to attach your 10x36 or 10x42 Nitro binocular to any standard tripod in a horizontal
position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.
