ADJUSTING AND USING YOUR BINOCULAR.

Adjusting the binocular to your individual preferences

begins by setting the interpupilary distance. This is the

distance between the pupils of your eyes. The binocular

tubes pivot on a hinge, moving the tubes closer or further

apart. Pivot the binocular tubes until you see a single

image when looking through the binocular.

In case you have good vision and don't require vision aids

such as glasses, your binocular is ready to use. You only

need to make sure the diopter setting on the left ocular is

on zero.

With their ergonomic eyecups all STEINER XP binoculars
are perfectly suited for eyeglass wearers as well. Simply

twist down the eyecups and turn down the sidelight

screens - no further calibration with the diopter setting is

required. In case you need glasses and prefer using your

binocular without wearing them you need to calibrate the

binocular to your individual eye sight.

FOCUSING YOUR PEREGRINEXP MODEL.
1.) Choose an object like a tree or a house at least 100

yards away while you have good light conditions.

2.) Cover the left objective with the Lens Cap and look

through the binoculars with both eyes open.

3.) Turn the center focus wheel to make the image

appear clear and sharp.

4.) Now cover the other objective (right side) and look

through the binoculars with both eyes open.

5.) Turn the diopter setting wheel on your left ocular until

the image appears clear and sharp.

6.) Your binoculars are now individually calibrated to your

eyes and ready for use.

With both eyes open

you can now use the fo-

cus wheel to focus the

binoculars for different

distances.

COMFORTABLE ERGONOMIC EYECUPS.

Your STEINERs are equipped with newly designed, ergono-

mic eyecups. They play an important part in creating this

unique viewing experience you will have will all XP models.
As twist-up / twist-down eyecups they easily adapt to your

individual preferences, whether you wear glasses or not.

Eyeglass wearers. Wearing glasses you have already

created the necessary distance between the binoculars'

oculars and your eyes. Contrary to users without glasses (or

with contact lenses) you usually don't need to artificially

create this distance and you can use your binoculars with

both eyecups fully retracted. To retract the eyecups simply

use your thumb and index finger to twist them in the

direction indicated by the arrows. Then fold down the side-

light screen. When looking through your binoculars you

can put your glasses directly onto the eyecups - the soft

silicone material prevents scratching.

Different models of eye glasses might vary the distance

between the eye and the lens and it's possible that your

eyes are too close to the ocular. You will see some black

areas when looking through the binoculars. You need to

increase the distance by slightly moving the eyecup

(usually just a few Millimeters) until you see a clear image.

Wearing contact lenses or no eye glasses. You need

to create a distance between your eyes and the binoculars'

ocular lenses. Use the binoculars only with deployed eye-

cups. On both sides you will also find small screens that

prevent sidelight to enter and increase image clarity.

To turn the eyecups simply use your thumb and index fin-

ger and twist the eyecups down in the direction indicated

by the arrows. To twist them up, turn them in the other

direction until you can feel the noticeable stop limit - after

that you will only be able to minimally turn the eyecup.

This play is necessary to

adjust the sidelight screen

for different users' inter-

pupilary distances.

Do not force the diopter

wheel or the diopter setting

beyond the noticeable stop

limits. This could severely

damage your binoculars.

Never turn the eyecups

with force beyond the noti-

ceable stop limits. This can

cause internal damage.
