Infinity Binocs 6LIM.indd 5 4/3/07 11:55:10 PM Thank you for purchasing your new Bushnell InfinityTM binocular. This unique precision instrument combines the finest optical materials, craftsmanship, and technology. In addition to Bushnell's exclusive Rainguard® hydrophobic lens coating, the new Infinity features SHR Prism Coating Technology. SHR is a prism coating with super high reflectance that provides a higher level of light transmission efficiency. The new Infinity chassis is constructed with reinforced polycarbonate composite materials for reduced weight without compromising strength. And, a full body rubber coating adds even more durability to your Infinity binocular. This manual will help you optimize performance 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. EYE ADJUSTMENTS How to Adjust for Distance Between Your Eyes The distance between the eyes, called "interpupillary distance," or "IPD", varies from person to person. To achieve perfect alignment of lens to eyes, follow these simple steps. 1. Hold your binocular in the normal viewing position. 2. Grasp each barrel firmly. Move the barrels closer together or further apart (Fig. 1) until you see a single circular field. Always re-set your binocular to this position before using it. Fig. 1 Interpupillary Distance Adjustment How to Adjust for Individual Eye Strength As individual eyesight varies from one person to another, your Bushnell Infinity binocular has a diopter setting feature which allows you to fine-tune the binocular to your vision. Follow the focusing instructions on the next page. Infinity Binocs 6LIM.indd 6 4/3/07 11:55:11 PM FOCUSING 1. Adjust the interpupillary distance (Fig. 1) until you see a single circular image. 2. Keep both eyes open at all times. 3. Using the attached lens cap or your hand, cover the objective (front) lens on the right side of the binocular as you look into the eyepieces. 4. Rotate the center focus knob, focusing on a distant object with fine detail (e.g., brick wall, tree branches, etc) until it appears as sharp as possible on the left side. 5. Uncover the objective lens on the right side, and cover the left objective lens while continuing to view the same object. 6. Pull up the center focus knob to unlock the diopter adjustment (Fig. 2) and bring the object into equally sharp focus in the right side of the binocular. The diopter adjustment provides fine focus for the right eyepiece only. 7. Avoid over-turning or forcing the diopter mechanism. If you are unable to bring the object into focus in the right side by adjusting the diopter ring, make sure the left side is still focused (return to step 3 if necessary). 8. Once the diopter adjustment is set for your eyesight, push the focus knob back down to lock it in place . 9. Your binocular should now be adjusted for your eyes. Focusing for any distance can now be done simply by turning the center focus knob.

For users without eyeglasses, twist the eyecups up, rotating the eyecups counter- clockwise until they lock into the fully "up" position (fig. 3). If you wear glasses, make sure the eyecups are in the down positionthis will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens, allowing you to see the full field of view. To lower the eyecups from the full "up" position, rotate them clockwise while pushing down (fig. 4). The eyecups may also be left at positions "in between" fully up and fully down, which may suit some individuals better. Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Eyecup in "Up" Position Eyecup in "Down" Position Infinity Binocs 6LIM.indd 8 4/3/07 11:55:11 PM NECKSTRAP ATTACHMENT : (Fig. 5 and 6) To attach the short strap adapter, first align the strap with the plastic post positioned as shown in Fig. 5. Push the post straight down onto the release button (white arrow), then slide it up towards the eyepiece (black arrow) as shown in Fig. 5, until it clicks into place. Make sure the release button pops back up. The long neckstrap may be looped through the lugs on the short straps either before or after this procedure. To remove the strap, press the release button, and slide the post back out of the socket (Fig. 6). Fig. 5 Fig. 6 Strap Attachment Socket TRIPOD SOCKET : (Fig. 7) To attach the Infinity to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the "B" logo cap which covers the threaded socket inside the center hinge, and set it aside in a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter, such as the Bushnell model #161001, (an "L" shaped device which goes between the binocular and tripod) to attach it to any standard tripod in a horizontal position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing. Fig. 7 Binocular Tripod Adapter (optional) (Bushnell#161001CM) Infinity Binocs 6LIM.indd 9 4/3/07 11:55:12 PM WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF Your Bushnell Infinity binocular has been designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof and fogproof technology. Infinity binoculars are O-ring sealed for complete moisture protection. Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal moisture. INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE Your Bushnell Infinity binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give any fine optical instrument. 1. Avoid sharp impacts. Set the binocular down gently on hard surfaces. 2. Tug on the strap after attaching it to make sure it is securely fastened to the binocular before placing it around your neck. 3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place whenever possible. CLEANING 1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush). 2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included, washable"microfiber"cleaning cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfiber cloth. 3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth ­ never directly on the lens. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN WITH YOUR BINOCULAR AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES 10 Infinity Binocs 6LIM.indd 10 4/3/07 11:55:12 PM WARRANTY/REPAIR BUSHNELL LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY We are so proud of our Bushnell® InfinityTM Binoculars that their materials and workmanship are warranted to be free of defects for the life of the binocular.

Cet instrument de précision combine les meilleurs des matériaux optiques, du savoir faire et de la technologie. En plus du traitement de lentille hydrophobe Rainguard®, une exclusivité Bushnell, les nouvelles jumelles Infinity bénéficient de la technologie SHR. Il s'agit d'un traitement des prismes à facteur de réfrexion très élevé qui améliore l'efficacité de la transmission lumineuse. Le châssis Infinity est en matériaux composites polycarbonates renforcés pour limiter le poids sans compromettre la solidité. Par ailleurs, le revêtement caoutchouc extérieur intégral renforce également la durabilité des jumelles Infinity. Ce manuel explique comment régler les jumelles en fonction des yeux et comment assurer leur entretien, afin d'obtenir des résultats optimum. Lire ces instructions avec attention avant d'utiliser les jumelles. RÉGLAGES EN FONCTION DES YEUX Réglage de la distance entre les yeux La distance entre les yeux, appelée « distance interpupillaire », ou « DIP », varie d'une personne à l'autre. Pour aligner parfaitement la lentille sur l'oeil, effectuer ce qui suit. 1. Tenir les jumelles en position d'observation normale. 2. Saisir fermement chaque fût. Rapprocher ou écarter les fûts l'un de l'autre (Fig. 1) jusqu'à ne plus voir qu'un champ circulaire unique. Veiller à toujours remettre les jumelles dans cette position avant de les utiliser. Fig. 1 Réglage de la distance interpupillaire Réglage en fonction de l'acuité visuelle Comme l'acuité visuelle varie d'une personne à l'autre, les jumelles Bushnell Infinity comportent une fonction de réglage dioptrique permettant un ajustement fin des jumelles à la vue de chacun.
