3. Opstelling

3.1 Bevestig die nekband

1. Ryg die punte van die nekband deur die bandnokke aan elke kant van die verkyker se liggaam.
2. Secure the strap by passing it back through the buckle, ensuring it is tightly fastened.
3. Adjust the strap length for comfortable carrying around your neck.

3.2 Verstelling van oogkoppe

The eyecups can be adjusted to provide the optimal eye relief for comfortable viewing.

• Vir gebruikers sonder 'n bril: Rotate the eyecups counter-clockwise until they are fully extended.
• Vir gebruikers met brille: Rotate the eyecups clockwise until they are fully retracted. This allows your eyes to be closer to the eyepieces, providing a full field of view.

3.3 Aanpassing van interpupilêre afstand

The interpupillary distance (the distance between the centers of your pupils) must be set correctly to see a single, circular image.

1. Hou die verkyker teen jou oë.
2. Bend the binocular body at the hinge until you see a single, perfectly circular field of view.

3.4 Dioptrieverstelling

This adjustment compensates for differences in vision between your left and right eyes.

1. Maak jou regteroog toe of bedek die regter objektieflens.
2. Kyk deur die verkyker met jou linkeroog na 'n verafgeleë voorwerp.
3. Rotate the central focus wheel until the image is sharp for your left eye.
4. Maak jou linkeroog toe of bedek die linker objektieflens.
5. Look through the binoculars with your right eye at the same distant object.
6. Adjust the diopter ring (usually on the right eyepiece) until the image is sharp for your right eye.
7. The diopter setting is now calibrated for your eyes. You should only need to use the central focus wheel for subsequent observations.

4. Bedryf

4.1 Fokus

Once the interpupillary distance and diopter are set, focusing is straightforward:

1. Raise the binoculars to your eyes.
2. Locate your desired object.
3. Rotate the central focus wheel until the object appears sharp and clear. The SmartFocus concept allows for quick adjustments with minimal rotation.

5. Onderhoud en versorging

5.1 Skoonmaak van Lense

The lenses of your ZEISS SFL binoculars feature advanced coatings for optimal performance. Proper cleaning is crucial to maintain their quality.

1. Remove loose dust: Use a soft brush or a blower bulb to gently remove any loose dust or particles from the lens surfaces.
2. Clean smudges: For fingerprints or stubborn smudges, breathe lightly on the lens surface to create condensation, then gently wipe with the provided microfiber cleaning cloth. Use circular motions from the center outwards.
3. Vermy harde chemikalieë: Never use abrasive cloths, paper towels, or harsh cleaning solutions, as these can damage the lens coatings.

The ZEISS T* coating ensures brilliant, high-contrast images, especially in challenging light conditions. The LotuTec coating provides a clear view in wet weather by repelling water and dirt from the lens surface.

5.2 Algemene skoonmaak en berging

• Vee die verkyker se liggaam af met 'n sagte, damp lap om vuiligheid of grime te verwyder.
• Store the binoculars in their protective case when not in use to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage.
• Vermy berging in direkte sonlig of uiterste temperature.
• The binoculars are waterproof; however, after exposure to water, dry them thoroughly before storing.
