Porro Prism Top View Roof Prism EYE RELIEF FOR EYEGLASS WEARERS For best results when viewing an object while wearing eyeglasses, fold down the rubber eyecups and place them against your glasses. For twist or pull down eyecups, keep in the down position. ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECES The distance between your eyes varies from person to person. This distance is known as the interpupillary distance, or IPD. Adjustment of your personal IPD is an important first step in the proper use of your Meade binocular: 1. Hold the binocular up to your eyes in the normal viewing position, using both hands to hold each barrel firmly. Pull the barrels apart or push the barrels together until you see a single circular field with both of your eyes. Set the Diopter Knob (see diagram) at zero. Look at an object that is approximately 100 feet (30m. ) away. With the lens cover or your hand, cover the right Objective Lens so that you will be looking through your left eye only. Rotate the Center Focus Knob until the object you are viewing with your left eye is sharp and clear. [. . . ] Collimation problems usually require repair by a trained technician, and are generally not covered by the Warranty. To clean your binocular, follow these simple steps: 1. Before attempting to clean any of the lenses, carefully remove all grit, sand, dirt, dust, or other substances which may scratch the surface of the optics. Avoid touching lens surfaces with fingers or coarse materials. [. . . ]
