5. Kiikareiden käyttö
5.1. Pupillien välisen etäisyyden (IPD) säätäminen
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. Keskittäminen
Your binocular features a central focus wheel and a diopter adjustment for precise focusing.
- Diopterin säätö: Sulje oikea silmäsi ja katso vasemman okulaarin läpi. Kierrä keskimmäistä tarkennuspyörää, kunnes kuva on terävä ja selkeä.
- Diopter Correction: Close your left eye and look through the right eyepiece. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring (usually on the right eyepiece) until the image is sharp and clear.
- 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. Zoomaustoiminnon käyttö
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. Viewing Tips
- 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. Hoito ja huolto
6.1. Linssien puhdistaminen
- 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.
- Vältä hankaavien liinojen, talouspaperien tai kotitalouspuhdistusaineiden käyttöä, sillä ne voivat naarmuttaa tai vahingoittaa linssin pinnoitetta.
6.2. Yleinen hoito ja säilytys
- 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.
