COMFORTABLE ERGONOMIC EYECUPS.

Your STEINERs are equipped with newly designed, ergono- mic eyecups. They play an important part in creating this unique viewing experience you will have will all XP models. As twist-up / twist-down eyecups they easily adapt to your individual preferences, whether you wear glasses or not.

Eyeglass wearers. Wearing glasses you have already created the necessary distance between the binoculars' oculars and your eyes. Contrary to users without glasses (or with contact lenses) you usually don't need to artificially create this distance and you can use your binoculars with both eyecups fully retracted. To retract the eyecups simply use your thumb and index finger to twist them in the direction indicated by the arrows. Then fold down the side- light screen. When looking through your binoculars you can put your glasses directly onto the eyecups - the soft silicone material prevents scratching.

Different models of eye glasses might vary the distance between the eye and the lens and it's possible that your

eyes are too close to the ocular. You will see some black areas when looking through the binoculars. You need to increase the distance by slightly moving the eyecup (usually just a few Millimeters) until you see a clear image.

Wearing contact lenses or no eye glasses. You need to create a distance between your eyes and the binoculars' ocular lenses. Use the binoculars only with deployed eye- cups. On both sides you will also find small screens that prevent sidelight to enter and increase image clarity.

To turn the eyecups simply use your thumb and index fin- ger and twist the eyecups down in the direction indicated by the arrows. To twist them up, turn them in the other direction until you can feel the noticeable stop limit - after that you will only be able to minimally turn the eyecup. This play is necessary to

adjust the sidelight screen for different users' inter- pupilary distances.
