Warning (regarding the binoculars)

1 Never look at the sun with the binoculars. Doing so can cause loss of vision.

2) Do not place the binoculars under direct sunlight. Otherwise, the lens may concentrate the sun's rays and cause a fire.

3) Keep the plastic bags used for packaging out of reach of small children since choking may occur if swallowed.

4) If the strap is mistakenly wrapped around the neck, suffocation may result.

Caution (regarding the binoculars) 5) Do not place the binoculars on an unstable surface. Doing so may

cause the binoculars to fall and could result in a personal injury. 6) Please do not use the binoculars while walking. Doing so may cause

you to collide into objects or fall down and could result in a personal injury.

ENG-3

Precautions for Use (Please be sure to read before use)

Caution (regarding the binoculars (con't)) 7) Please do not swing the binoculars around by the strap. Doing so may

cause others to be hit by the binoculars and could result in a personal injury. 8) Fingers may be pinched when adjusting the width of the binoculars.

Please be aware of this when the binoculars are being used by small children.

9) When used for a prolonged period, the rubber eye cups may irritate the skin around the eyes. If you suspect that this may have occurred, please see a physician.

Caution (regarding the binoculars) 10) Binoculars are precision instruments. Do not drop them or subject

them to shock. Never attempt to disassemble them. 11) The binoculars are not waterproof. Avoid exposing the binoculars to

rain or water spray. 12) High temperatures can cause the binoculars to malfunction. Therefore,

do not store them close to a heater or in a car under direct sunlight. 13) Avoid storing the binoculars in a laboratory or a location where

chemicals are present since this may cause rust or corrosion. Also avoid storage in a chest of drawers.

14) If the lens is dirty, first use a blower brush to remove dust, etc., from the lens surface. Then use a soft, dry cloth and wipe the lens gently without scratching it. Do not use any organic solvent on the body or lenses.

15) Storing the binoculars in a humid location may cause fungus to form on the lenses or cause the lenses to become cloudy. If the binoculars are not to be used for an extended period, clean the lenses and body thoroughly and store in a well-ventilated dry place.

16) If the binoculars are taken from a cold environment to a warm one, condensation may develop on the surface and internal parts due to the sudden change in temperature. To prevent condensation, first put the binoculars into an airtight plastic bag before taking it to a warm environment. Let it gradually adjust to the warmer temperature, then take out the binoculars. Do the same when taking the binoculars from a warm environment to a cold one.

All Canon Binoculars are composed only of Environment Friendly Lead-Free Optical Glass. The design is derived from Canons corporate policy to care about our environment.

Precautions for Use (Please be sure to read before use)

ENG-4

Warning (regarding the batteries) 1) Please carefully check the batteries as well as the package to verify the

nominal voltage rating of the batteries before use. Be sure not to use batteries with a nominal voltage rating of 1.5V or higher or batteries which have no nominal voltage information. Using such batteries may result fire, generation of smoke, or personal injury.

2) In rare cases, some AA-size lithium batteries will reach extremely high temperatures. For your safety, please refrain from using AA-size lithium batteries.

3) Never attempt to disassemble batteries, charge the batteries (except for Ni-MH rechargeable batteries), leave batteries in a hot place, short circuit the contacts, or throw them into a fire. These actions can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or personal injury. (Rechargeable batteries are batteries which can be charged and reused many times.)

4) Always replace both batteries at the same time. In addition, please do not use different brand batteries together or a new battery with an old battery. Doing so can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or personal injury.

5) Please remove the batteries if the binoculars are not to be used for an extended period or if the batteries have been depleted. If the batteries are left inside, they may leak, causing malfunction, corrosion, or fire.

6) Insert the batteries with the + and terminals in the correct directions. Not doing so can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or personal injury.

Caution (regarding the batteries) 7) If any liquid from inside the batteries leaks out and contacts your skin,

be sure to wash the liquid off thoroughly. 8) If the lamp does not light even when you press the Image Stabilizer

button, the battery power is low. Replace the batteries with two new batteries at the same time from the same brand.

zWhen handling batteries, please carefully read " Warning (regarding the batteries)" and " Caution (regarding the batteries)" which are found on page 4 of this manual. z Please use two new batteries of the same brand. Also, always replace both batteries at the same time. z Since the shapes of battery contacts for AA-size batteries other than alkaline batteries* is not standardized, use of certain brand batteries may result in contact failure. * An alkaline battery is a primary cell capable of electrical discharge only and designed to

be used only once and discarded.

Before You Start

4 Adjust the width of the binoculars.

Look through the binoculars and adjust the width until the left and right images converge as shown above.

z Doing the above minimizes eye fatigue during viewing. zWhen adjusting the width of the binoculars to suit the width between your eyes, look at a distant object. z If you are wearing eyeglasses, fold back the eye cups.

5 Adjust the diopter.

First look through the left eyepiece only and adjust the focusing knob until the object looks sharp.

Then look through the right eyepiece only and look at the same object while turning the dioptric correction ring until the object looks sharp.

6 Adjust the focus.

Look through the eyepiece and turn the focusing knob until the object looks sharp.

Using the Image Stabilizer While you look through the binoculars, the image may be shaking and difficult to see since your hands are holding the binoculars. In such a case, the Image Stabilizer can help steady the image. The Image Stabilizer operates as long as you hold down the Image Stabilizer button. It stops operating when you let go of the button.

The lamp lights while the Image Stabilizer is on.

z The Image Stabilizer may not be able to compensate for severe shaking. z In rare cases, images may momentarily appear to move irregularly during rapid panning, etc. z Even without batteries loaded, the binoculars can still be used as is.
