Troubleshooting
The image looks blurry or out of focus.
Verify that you have adjusted the dioptre ring for your right eye and that the objective lenses are clean.
I see two images instead of one.
Adjust the interpupillary distance (the width between the two barrels) until you see a single, circular field of view.
The view is dark or vignetted.
Ensure your eyes are positioned at the correct distance from the ocular lenses; use the twist-up eyecups to find the optimal eye position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your binoculars, first adjust the distance between the barrels to match your eyes. Next, look through the left side with your left eye and focus using the center focus wheel. Then, use the dioptre adjustment ring to calibrate the right eye until the image is crisp. Clean the lenses only with professional optical lens cloths or brushes to avoid scratching the multi-coating. After use in wet conditions, wipe down the body with a dry cloth and ensure the lenses are dry before storing them in the provided carrying case.
