WARNING
Never look at the Sun while using your binocular. Looking at the Sun can cause permanent eye damage.
Adjusting thE intErpupillAry distAncE
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.
sEtting thE dioptEr / Focusing
To ensure a crisp, sharp image, the binocular’s focusing system 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, adjust the diopter ring 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 Granite features twist-up eyecups to accommodate both
eyeglass and non-eyeglass wearers. If you do not wear eyeglasses,
twist the eyecups counterclockwise until they reach the up position.
If you wear eyeglasses, make sure that the eyecups are in the down
position to obtain the maximum field of view. The eyecups can be
set at positions between fully up and down which may suit some
users better.
tripod AdAptAbility
The Granite binoculars feature built-in threads that allow the binocular
to be attached to a tripod using a binocular tripod adapter. 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.

WAtErprooF / FogprooF
The Granite series binoculars are waterproof and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the housing from
fogging internally.
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.
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.

AVERTISSEMENT
Ne jamais regarder le soleil pendant l’utilisation de vos jumelles. Regarder vers le soleil peut causer des
lésions oculaires permanentes.
rÉglAgE dE l’ÉcArt intErpupillAirE
L’écart interpupillaire, ou la distance entre les pupilles, varie d’une
personne à l’autre. Les jumelles doivent être correctement alignées
(ajusté) à la distance entre vos pupilles afin de créer une seule image
claire. Pour régler cette distance, soulevez les jumelles jusqu’à vos
yeux (en utilisant les deux mains) et regardez à travers eux un objet
distant. Déplacez les deux barillets (moitiés) des jumelles le plus
près possible ou éloigné jusqu’à ce que vous voyiez une seule
image claire (Fig. 2). Vérifiez que l’écart interpupillaire soit défini
correctement chaque fois que vous utilisez vos jumelles.
rÉglAgE du dioptrE/FocAlisAtion
Afin d’assurer une image nette, le système de focalisation de jumelles
doit être réglé pour compenser les différences éventuelles de votre
vision. Ceci est réalisé en réglant le dioptre (situé sur l’oculaire droit)
avant utilisation. Pour régler les jumelles à votre vision, suivez les
instructions ci-dessous.
1. Visualisez un objet distant à travers les jumelles.
2. Couvrez la lentille droite avec votre main ou le capuchon
d’objectif.
3. Tournez la molette de focalisation jusqu’à ce que l’image avec
votre œil gauche soit claire et nette.
4. Couvrez la lentille gauche avec votre main ou le capuchon
d’objectif.

5. Visualisez le même objet, ajustez la bague de réglage dioptrique
jusqu’à ce que l’image avec votre œil droit soit claire et nette.
6. Les jumelles sont maintenant réglé pour vos yeux et la focalisation de n’importe quel objet peut
maintenant être obtenue en tournant simplement la molette de focalisation.
Astuce: Les lunettes de vision pour la myopie devraient être portées
lors de l’utilisation de jumelles puisque vous ne pourrez peut-être
pas être en mesure d’obtenir la mise au point à l’infini sans celles-ci.
rÉglAgE dEs ŒillEtons
Le Granite dispose d’œilletons pour accommoder à la fois les
porteurs de lunettes et ceux qui n’en portent pas. Si vous ne
portez pas de lunettes, tournez les œilletons à gauche jusqu’à ce
qu’ils atteignent la position relevée. Si vous portez des lunettes,
s’assurer que les œilletons sont en bas afin d’obtenir un champ
de vision maximum. Les œilletons peuvent être réglés dans des
positions entre complètement relevées et complètement abaissées
qui peuvent mieux convenir à certains utilisateurs.
AdAptAbilitÉ du trÉpiEd
Les jumelles Granite disposent de filetages intégrés qui permettent
aux jumelles d’être fixées sur un trépied à l’aide d’un adaptateur de
trépied de jumelles. Ces filetages sont accessibles en dévissant la
plaque de logo située à l’avant de la charnière (Fig. 5). Pour fixer les
jumelles sur un trépied, vissez l’adaptateur dans les jumelles et fixez
l’autre extrémité de l’adaptateur sur un trépied photographique. Fixer
les jumelles sur un trépied permet une meilleure stabilité et plus de
confort pendant un visionnement prolongé.
