5. Operating Your Binoculars
5.1. Axuste da distancia interpupilar (DPI)
The interpupillary distance is the distance between the centers of your pupils. Adjusting this correctly ensures you see a single, clear circular field of view.
- Hold the binoculars with both hands and look through the eyepieces.
- Bend the binocular body at the hinge until you see a single, perfectly round field of view.
5.2. Focalización
Your binocular features a central focus wheel and a diopter adjustment for precise focusing.
- Axuste de dioptrías: Pecha o ollo dereito e mira polo ocular esquerdo. Xira a roda central de enfoque ata que a imaxe sexa nítida e clara.
- Diopter Correction: Pecha o ollo esquerdo e mira polo ocular dereito. Xira o anel de axuste de dioptrías (normalmente no ocular dereito) ata que a imaxe sexa nítida e clara.
- Now, with both eyes open, use only the central focus wheel to focus on objects at varying distances. The diopter setting should remain constant for your eyes.
5.3. Using the Zoom Function
The Gladiator series allows you to change magnification levels seamlessly.
- Locate the zoom lever, typically near the right eyepiece.
- To decrease magnification (zoom out), move the lever towards the lower power setting.
- To increase magnification (zoom in), move the lever towards the higher power setting.
- Refocus slightly with the central focus wheel after changing the zoom level, as the focal point may shift.

5.4. ViewConsellos de ing
- For best results, especially at higher magnifications, use a tripod to stabilize the view.
- Start at the lowest magnification (20x) to locate your subject, then zoom in for more detail.
- Avoid rapid movements when observing at high magnifications.
6. Coidados e mantemento
6.1. Limpeza das lentes
- Use the included lens cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics.
- Gently brush away any dust or debris from the lens surface.
- If necessary, use a small amount of optical lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Wipe the lens in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outwards.
- Evita usar panos abrasivos, toallas de papel ou produtos de limpeza domésticos, xa que poden raiar ou danar os revestimentos das lentes.
6.2. Coidados xerais e almacenamento
- Store your binoculars in the provided carrying case when not in use to protect them from dust, moisture, and impacts.
- Keep the lens caps on when storing.
- Avoid exposing the binoculars to extreme temperatures or sudden temperature changes.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the binoculars, as this will void the warranty and may cause irreparable damage.
