Bushnell 10x50 PowerView 2 Binoculars - Manual (Page 2)

2
Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell® PowerView® 2 binoculars.
This manual will help you optimize your viewing experience by explaining how you can adjust the binocular to your eyes,
and how to care for this instrument. Read the instructions carefully before using your binocular.
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR BINOCULAR,
AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES
EYECUP ADJUSTMENT
Your Bushnell PowerView 2 binocular is fitted with eyecups that provide a comfortable view of the full image and help to
exclude extraneous light. If you need to wear glasses when using binoculars, leave the eyecup in the “down” position (or,
for models with fold down style eyecups, fold them down) (Fig. 1, next page). For use without eyeglasses or sunglasses,
twist up the eyecups (or, for models with fold down style eyecups, simply leave them up) (Fig. 2) . This will place your eyes
farther from the binocular’s ocular lenses, at the correct eye relief distance, allowing you to see the full field of view.
IPD (INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE) ADJUSTMENT
The spacing between the pupils of your eyes, called “interpupillary distance,” varies from person to person. To match your
binoculars to your IPD or “eye to eye” width:
1. Point them at a white wall or blank area of the sky. Hold the binoculars and view through them as you normally would.
Don’t worry about focus yet.
2. Grasp each side of the binocular firmly. Move the left and right sides closer
together or farther apart (Fig. 3, next page) until you see a single image with no
shaded areas.
FOCUS AND DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the eyecups and IPD as described in the previous sections.
2. Using the attached lens cap or your hand, cover the objective lens on the right side
of the binocular.
3. 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 when viewed through
the left side of the binocular.
4. Uncover the objective lens on the right side, and cover the left objective lens while
continuing to view the same object.
