How to Use and Focus
(1) Eyepiece
If you wear glasses or sunglasses when using
StabilEyes binoculars, turn the turn-slide-type
eyecup to its fully retracted position. For users
with normal eyesight, turn the eyecup to its fully
extended position.
(2) Adjusting the interpupillary distance
Grasp either eyepiece and rotate it towards or
away from the center of the binocular (the other
eyepiece will move equally in the opposite
direction.)
Adjust the interpupillary distance to match the
distance between your eyes until you see just one
perfectly round image.
(3) Diopter adjustment
There are two steps to focusing: Close your right
eye and use only your left eye as you adjust the
focus control knob. When the image is sharp,
close your left eye and open your right eye. Twist
the right eyepiece, to focus for the right eye. Now
open both eyes and the binoculars should be
perfectly focused. You can do this with the
StabliEyes turned on with stabilizing activated or
with the power off completely.
When you view a different subject, adjust the
focus control knob until you obtain a sharp image.
(4) Stabilization feature
When you press the Power button the first time,
the LED lights in orange, and the binoculars go to
Standby mode. Your StabilEyes binoculars go
through an internal system check and take about
five seconds to stabilize their performance.
Then, turn the stabilization lever to the ON
position. The LED turns green, indicating that the
stabilization feature is active.
As long as you keep the VR PAUSE button
pressed, stabilization is paused, so you can
minimize image instability while panning, switching
among objects in view, or viewing moving objects.
Use this function to search among objects using
the binoculars.
Setting the stabilization lever back to the OFF
position turns the stabilization feature off, and the
LED turns orange again, indicating Standby mode.
Set the stabilization lever as you wish.
Stand by mode conserves battery power.
When finished, turn the stabilization lever to the
OFF position and press the Power button to turn
off.
If you leave your StabilEyes binoculars in either
Standby or Stabilization mode for a few minutes
without using them, the stabilization lever will
return to the OFF position, and the binoculars will
shut off automatically.
