Bushnell 12x50 Engage Binoculars - Manual (Page 5)

5
Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell® Engage 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.
Eyecup Adjustment
Your Bushnell Engage binocular is fitted with twist-up eyecups that provide a comfortable
view of the full image and help to exclude extraneous light. For use without eyeglasses or
sunglasses, twist the eyecups up, rotating the eyecups counter-clockwise until they lock
into the fully “up” position (Fig. 1) .
If you are wearing glasses, start with the eyecups in the “down” position- this will bring
your eyes closer to the binocular’s ocular lenses, allowing you to see the full field of
view. To lower the eyecups from the full “up” position, rotate them clockwise (Fig. 2) . The
eyecups may also be set to a position midway between fully up and fully down, which
may suit some individuals better.
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:
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.
