6. Make sure the center focus knob is pulled up, into the unlocked position-it should be
able to rotate freely (Fig 3).
7. Using the center focus knob, focus on a distant object with fine detail (e.g., brick wall,
tree branches, etc.), until it appears as sharp as possible.
8. Uncover the objective lens on the right side, then cover the left objective lens, and view
the same object.
9. Rotate the diopter adjustment ring to focus the same distant object in the right side. Avoid
over turning or forcing the diopter mechanism-if you are unable to bring the object into
focus with the diopter adjustment, make sure the left side is still focused correctly with the
center knob. The diopter adjustment only affects the right side.
10. Your binocular should now be adjusted for your eyes. Focusing for any distance can
now be done simply by turning the center focus wheel. Make a note of the diopter
setting for your eyesight (line on the diopter dial that is lined up with the index mark)
for future reference.
FOCUS LOCK
The Excursion EX also features a special focus lock feature. After focusing on a subject, the
setting can be locked by simply pushing the knob in (down) (Fig.3). This is useful when you will
be observing a subject at a consistent distance for an extended time period, to make sure you
don’t accidently shift or bump the focus setting unintentionally, or when you want to pass the
binoculars around in a group that is taking turns viewing the same subject.
WATERPROOF/FOGPROOF
Your Bushnell Excursion EX binocular has been designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof
and fogproof technology. Excursion EX binoculars are O-ring sealed for complete moisture
protection. Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal
moisture.
EYECUP ADJUSTMENT: (Fig. 4)
Your Bushnell Excursion EX binocular is fitted with twist-up eyecups designed for your comfort and
to exclude extraneous light. For users without eyeglasses, rotate the eyecups counter-clockwise
until they lock into the fully “up” position (
Fig. 4
). If you wear glasses, make sure the eyecups are
in the fully down position- this will bring your eyes closer to the binocular lens, allowing you to see
the full field of view. To lower the eyecups from the full “up” position, rotate them clockwise. It is
also possible to set the eyecups to a middle position “in between” fully up and fully down, which
may suit some individuals better.
TRIPOD MOUNT*: (Fig. 5)
To attach the
Excursion EX
to a tripod or monopod, unscrew (counter-clockwise) the “B” logo
cap which covers the threaded socket inside the center hinge
(Fig. 5)
, and set it aside in
a safe place. Use a compatible binocular tripod adapter, such as the Bushnell
model #161001CM, (an accessory bracket, shown below, which goes between
the binocular and tripod) to attach your
Excursion EX
to any standard tripod in
a horizontal position to provide a stable image during prolonged viewing.
