3. Binocular Operation   
Adjusting the Pupil Distance   
Hold the two barrels of the binocular in each hand.    Pull the barrels 
together or apart until you see a single circular field with both eyes. This is 
the best inter-pupillary distance for observation.
  
Focusing the Binocular 
1. Close your right eye and look through the binocular at an object. 
Rotate the Center Focus Knob until the object is sharp and clear to 
your left eye. At this point the object is in focus for your left eye .  
2. Close your left eye and look through the binocular at the same object 
with your right eye. Rotate the  Diopter ring until the object is sharp 
and clear. At this point the object is  in focus for both eyes. 
After the diopter setting is made, you may focus upon any object using 
the Center Focus Knob.
 
Rubber Eyecups 
Without eyeglasses, place your ey es against the rubber eyecups while 
observing through the binocular. For best results with eyeglasses, fold 
down the rubber eyecups and place y our glasses directly against the 
rubber eyepieces while observing through the binocular.
 
Caution: Never observe or shoot into the Sun.
