MARINE
BUSHNELL MARINE roof prism binoculars are designed for the boating
enthusiast in particular, but is are also ideal for any demanding environment
or application where rock-solid durability is required. Featuring a liquid-filled
compass built into the viewing optics, compass swing stops immediately
due to an advanced damping design. Bearings are called out in easy-to-read
precise 1° increments, ideal for navigation and locating objects accurately.
A range-finding scale allows the viewer to estimate the range to objects
of a known size. The BUSHNELL MARINE is fully waterproof/fogproof
and shock protected with suregrip rubber armoring, and has twist up/down
eyecups for easy use with sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses. The
optics feature fully multi-coated lenses for excellent light transmission. The
BUSHNELL MARINE comes complete with rugged nylon case and neck
strap. Built to last, it includes a lifetime limited warranty.

HOW TO USE
First, adjust the width (interpupillary distance) of your binoculars so that
when you look through them, you see a single circular image. Then focus
the binocular for one eye at a time by turning the oculars (eyepieces)
until you see an equally sharp image with each eye. If more than one
person will be using the binoculars, you should mark the left and right
eyepieces for your own vision to permit quick readjustment.
USING THE COMPASS
The compass is a precision unit. It has
extremely fast damping so that there is
almost no 'swing' and is corrected for dip
(Latitude). The compass scale is in one
degree increments and is aligned with the
vertical range finding scale. When using
the compass, always keep in mind the
local variation between magnetic and true
north.

ABOUT THE RETICLE
The vertical scale (reticle) visible through the right half of the binocular
allows you to calculate distance to an object if you know its height, or
to calculate the height of an object if you know its distance from you.
Detailed instructions for using the reticle are provided in later pages of
this manual.

USING THE COMPASS ILLUMINATOR
The BUSHNELL MARINE compass model
comes with a built-in LED compass illuminator
for use at night and in low light conditions. The
compass housing is located on the top right side
of the binocular. When the ambient light does
not permit you to see the compass heading
clearly, press the black power button on the top
compass housing. If the light is dim or does not
come on, replace the batteries. If the light does
not operate after replacing the batteries, please contact the Bushnell
dealer nearest you.
HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES
To change the batteries, use a thin coin to remove
the battery compartment cover by turning it
counter-clockwise. Remove the two batteries. The
batteries have a (+) on the front and a (-) on the
back. Be sure to insert the new batteries with (+)
signs in the same direction. Replace the battery
cover by turning it clockwise. The two batteries
should be replaced at the same time. The
batteries should be taken out if the binoculars will
not be used for a long time. Batteries left in the binocular for prolonged
periods of time without being used may leak and cause damage to the
binocular.
Battery Type: Two LR43 1.5 volt alkaline button cell
Equivalent batteries: 1.5v alkaline 386, SR43, AG12, or G12
IMPORTANT
AFTER EXPOSURE TO SALTWATER OR SPRAY, FLUSH THE
BINOCULARS THOROUGHLY WITH FRESH WATER AND WIPE DRY.
AVOID EXTENDED EXPOSURE TO BRIGHT SUNLIGHT AND SEVERE
TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE BINOCULAR
HAS BEEN USED UNDER VERY COLD CONDITIONS, BRINGING IT
INTO A HEATED ENVIRONMENT COULD CAUSE CONDENSATION
BUILD UP. ALLOW TIME FOR GRADUAL CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE.
