The interpupillary distance, or the distance
between the pupils, varies from person to
person. The binocular must be correctly aligned
(adjusted) to the distance between your pupils
to achieve a single, clear image. To adjust this
distance, lift the binocular up to your eyes (using
both hands) and look through them at an object
in the distance. Move the two barrels (halves)
of the binocular closer together or further
apart until you see a single, clear image (Fig.
2). Check that the interpupillary distance is set
correctly every time you use your binocular.
ADJUSTING THE INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE (IPD)
WARNING: Viewing the Sun may cause permanent eye damage. Do not
view the Sun with your binoculars or even with the naked eye.

To ensure a crisp, sharp image the focusing
system of the binocular must be set to
compensate for any differences in your
eyesight. This is achieved by setting the diopter
(located on the right eyepiece) before use. To
set the binocular to your eyesight follow the
instructions below.
1. View an object in the distance through the
binocular.
2. Cover the right objective lens with your hand
or the objective lens cap.
3. Rotate the focus wheel until the image
viewed with your left eye is clear and sharp.
4. Cover the left objective lens with your hand
or objective lens cap.
5. Viewing the same object, rotate the right
eyepiece (the diopter) until the image viewed
with your right eye is clear and sharp.
6. Your binocular is now adjusted to your eyes
and focusing on any object can now be
achieved by simply turning the focus wheel.
TIP: Eyeglasses worn for nearsightedness should be worn when using
binoculars as you may not be able to obtain focus at infinity
without them.

EYECUP ADJUSTMENT
The Cometron binoculars feature foldable
rubber eyecups to accommodate both eyeglass
and non-eyeglass wearers. If you do not wear
eyeglasses, leave the rubber eyecups in the
up position. If you wear eyeglasses, make sure
that the eyecups are folded down to obtain the
maximum field of view. When done observing,
make sure the rubber eyecups are in the up
position for storage. Fig. 4

TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY
The Cometron binocular series feature built-in
threads that allow the binocular to be attached
to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter
(included with model #71199). These threads
can be accessed by unscrewing the logo plate
found on the front of the hinge (Fig. 5).
To attach the binocular to a tripod, thread the
adapter into the binocular and attach the other
end of the adapter to a photographic tripod.
Mounting the binocular on a tripod allows for
added stability and comfort during prolonged
viewing.

CARE AND STORAGE
Your Celestron binocular will provide you years
of dependable service if it is cared for and
stored properly.
1. Protect the binocular from impact and do not
force any of the moving parts beyond their
limits.
2. Protect the optics of your binocular by
putting on all lens caps when not in use.
3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place
whenever possible.
4. When storing for an extended period of time,
place the binocular in a plastic bag or airtight
container with a desiccant.
5. Do not leave the binocular in a car on a hot/
sunny day or near anything that generates
heat as this may cause damage.
6. Clean any dust, dirt or water that may get
on the binocular or inside moving parts as
soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen
damage.

SERVICE AND REPAIR
If warranty problems arise or repairs are
necessary, contact the Celestron customer
service department if you live in the United
States or Canada. If you live outside of these
countries, please contact the dealer you
purchased your binocular from or the Celestron
distributor in your country. A list of our
distributors can be found on our website.,

CLEANING
Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential
to maintaining the optical integrity of your
binocular. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of
light transmitted through the binocular and your
overall viewing experience.
1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft
lens brush or can of pressurized air.
2. Remove any fingerprints, stains or smudges
from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens
cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular
motion. Start in the middle of the lens and
work your way to the edges. Breathe lightly
on the lens to provide moisture if needed.
3. For a more thorough cleaning we recommend
the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available
at most photo or optical shops. Follow the
directions supplied with the cleaning kit for
best results.
