4. Ús dels binoculars
4.1 Focusing Procedure
To achieve a sharp image, follow these steps:
- Tanca l'ull dret o tapa la lent de l'objectiu dreta.
- Look through the left eyepiece with your left eye and rotate the center focus wheel until the image is sharp.
- Tanca l'ull esquerre o tapa la lent de l'objectiu esquerre.
- Look through the right eyepiece with your right eye and rotate the diopter adjustment ring (on the right eyepiece) until the image is sharp. Do not use the center focus wheel for this step.
- Once both eyes are individually focused, the diopter setting is correct for your vision. From now on, you will only need to use the center focus wheel to adjust focus for different distances.

5. Cura i Manteniment
- Neteja de lents: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Gently wipe away dust or smudges. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Neteja del cos: Netegeu el cos amb un suau, damp tela. Eviteu productes químics agressius o materials abrasius.
- Emmagatzematge: Store your binoculars in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided case for protection.
- Característica impermeable: While these binoculars are waterproof (JIS Class 6, submersible to 1m), avoid prolonged submersion. If they get wet, wipe them dry with a soft cloth. Do not attempt to open the binoculars, as this will compromise their waterproof seal.
