4. Configuración e uso inicial
4.1 Instalación da batería
- Localice o compartimento da batería no dispositivo.
- Abra a tapa do compartimento da batería.

- Align the dovetail base of the goggle with the corresponding slot on your mounting system.
- Slide the goggle into place until it clicks securely.
- Ensure the goggle is firmly attached and does not wobble.
4.3 Axustes
- Interpupillary Distance (IPD): Adjust the distance between the two optical pods (56 to 72 mm) until you see a single, clear circular image. Use the simplified IP stop design to set your preferred tube positions.
- Axuste de dioptrías: While looking through the eyepiece, rotate the diopter adjustment ring (-6 to +2 diopters) until the reticle or image appears sharp for your individual eyesight.
- Enfoque da lente obxectiva: Rotate the objective lens focus ring to bring distant or close objects into sharp focus (focus range: 0.25m to Infinity).
5. Instrucións de funcionamento
