EYE RELIEF FOR EYEGLASS WEARERS
For best results when viewing an object while wearing
eyeglasses, twist down the rubber eyecups and place
them against your glasses.
ADJUSTING THE EYEPIECES
The distance between your eyes is usually different
than the distance between another person's eyes. This
distance is known as the interpupillary distance, or IPD.
Adjustment of your person-
al IPD is an important step
in the proper use of your
Meade binocular:
1. Hold the binocular up
to your face in the nor-
mal viewing position,
using both hands to
hold each barrel firmly.
2. Pull the barrels apart

or push the barrels
together until you see a

both of your eyes.
FOCUSING THE
BINOCULAR
1. Set the Diopter Knob
(see diagram) at zero.
NOTE: Some binocular
models, such as the CanyonView ED Series have
the diopter adjustment below the right rubber eye-
cup. Other models, such as the MasterClass Pro ED
Series have a centrally located diopter adjustment
placed in front of the center focusing wheel.
2. Look at an object that is approximately 100 feet
(30m.) away.
3. With the lens cover or your hand, cover the right
Objective Lens so that you will be looking through
your left eye.
4. Rotate the Center Focus Knob until the object you are
viewing with your left eye is sharp and clear. At this
point the object is in focus.
5. Remove the lens cover (or hand) from the right
Objective Lens and cover the left Objective Lens so
that you will be looking through your right eye only.
6. While looking at the object, rotate the Diopter Knob
until the object you see through your right eye is
sharp and clear. At this point the object is in focus.
7. Now, with a simple turn of the Focus Knob, both far
and near objects can easily be brought into focus.
WATERPROOF / FOG PROOF MODELS
Select Meade binoculars offer protection against internal
moisture condensation, humidity, and dust. Waterproof/
fog proof binoculars have been nitrogen-purged to
expel all internal moisture and atmosphere, and are
then "O-Ring" sealed for the ultimate in protection in all
weather conditions.
USING THE CARRY CASE
The carry case is a great place to store your Meade
binoculars and ideally suited for field use. The included
shoulder strap has quick release buckles that attach to
the top D-rings on the case. This strap allows carry of
the binoculars around your neck or shoulder and is ideal
WARNING! Never use a Meade
ocular to look at the Sun! Looking
at or near the Sun will cause instant
and irreversible damage to your eye.
Eye damage is often painless, so there is no
warning to the observer that damage has
occurred until it is too late. Do not point the
binocular at or near the Sun. Children should
always have adult supervision while observing.
