QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

1) Load two AA alkaline batteries into the compartment on the handstrap.

2) Press the Power button (a) to turn on. The electronic system will start up, and the binoculars will go

to Standby mode after about five seconds. (LED indicator stops blinking

3) Adjust the eyepiece spacing (b) to match the distance between your two eyes.

4) Use your left eye as you adjust the focus control knob (c). When the image becomes sharp, use your

right eye and turn the diopter adjustment ring (d) to focus for the right eye. Once you have performed

the diopter correction, use only the control knob (c) to check focus again.

5) Turn the stabilization lever (e) to the ACTIVE position to activate the stabilization feature.

6) Press the power button briefly to change to fine mode, which is more effective at countering hand

shake. Tap the power button again to return to normal mode.

7) When finished, turn the stabilization lever (e) to the HOLD position and press the Power button (a)

to turn off.

CONGRATULATIONS

Thank you for purchasing Bushnell StableView binoculars. Be sure to read this manual thoroughly for

proper use.

Bushnell StableView binoculars use advanced technology in optics, electronics, and ergonomics.

The stabilization feature built into these binoculars cancels out vibration from the outside and the

shake that occurs with hand-held use, offering stabilized viewing without a tripod, even at high

magnifications.

Your Bushnell StableView has an exclusive feature, providing two different stabilization modes in one

binocular for the first time. “Normal” mode is designed to counteract the long, slow motion encountered

in a boat, plane or car, and is also ideal for tracking moving subjects such as a bird in flight. “Fine” mode

compensates for short, rapid external vibration, designed to be very effective against the visible effect of

hand held shake (tremor) that many experience with high power binoculars. The modes are easily set,

and you can quickly switch between them.

The newly designed lenses are multi-coated, provide a wide field of view and reduced eye fatigue. The

prisms are phase-coated to offer sharp contrast and bright images.

Bushnell StableView binoculars are waterproof and airtight, allowing worry-free usage in a boat or rainy weather.

DIGITAL STABILIZING

HOW IT WORKS

• AZ (azimuth) and EL (elevation) piezo gyro

vibration sensors and direct-drive motors

work together to move a gimbaled assembly

with erecting prism to counteract vibration

and keep the image steady, which offers shake-

free viewing even from a moving vehicle.

• The position sensor activates the stabilization

feature as it detects vertical and horizontal

motion.

• The newly designed lenses are multi-coated

for bright images.

• The prisms have a special coating that gives

sharper images than ever before.

• The eyepieces incorporate advanced optical

technology that offers a wide field of view

and reduces eye fatigue. The eyecups can be

twisted up and down for use with glasses.

• Bushnell StableView binoculars are waterproof

and filled with dry nitrogen to prevent internal

fogging of the optical components.

HOW TO ADJUST AND FOCUS

Eyepiece

Rotate the rubber eyecups up or down to adjust the height. If you wear

glasses or sunglasses when using the binoculars, set the eyepcups at their

lowest positions.

Interpupillary adjustment

Use both eyes to look into the eyepieces and adjust the interpupillary

distance to match the distance between your two eyes until you see just

one perfectly circular image.

Diopter adjustment

You should perform the diopter correction before first usage, as the vision

of your two eyes might be different.

Close your right eye and use only your left eye as you adjust the focus

control knob.

Once you get a sharp image, close your left eye and open your right eye.

Turn the right diopter adjustment ring to focus for the right eye. (Do

NOT use the focus control knob.)

Now look through the binoculars with both eyes and make sure the

diopter adjustment is perfect. Only the focus control knob should be

needed for later focusing.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1) Slide the battery compartment release

switch on the handstrap to the Open

position to release the battery holder.

2) Insert two new size AA alkaline batteries.

3) Attach the battery holder to the handstrap

and slide the release switch to the locked

position to secure the compartment.

WARNING

• NEVER slide the stabilization

lever to the ACTIVE position if

you do not have two batteries

installed. Damage could result.

• Use the same type of batteries. Do

NOT mix old and new batteries.

Doing so can cause leakage or

rupture.

• When changing the batteries

outdoors, be sure not to let

any water get into the battery

compartment.

• If you plan to leave the binoculars

stored for a prolonged period,

remove the batteries in order to

prevent natural discharge and/or

leakage.

When the batteries are removed,

keep the battery holder attached

to the handstrap to protect the

internal contact points.

• Keep the contact points away from

any metal. Damage could result.
