Veuillez vérifier le contenu de votre colis pour vous assurer que tous les articles sont présents :
- Eschenbach Viva 6x15 Binoculars (black)
- Dragonne
- Flat belt bag
3. Installation
3.1 Fixation de la dragonne
- Locate the strap lugs on the side of the binoculars.
- Thread the hand strap through the lugs according to the instructions provided with the strap. Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent accidental drops.
3.2 Adjusting Pupillary Distance
The pupillary distance (the distance between your pupils) varies from person to person. To achieve a single, clear circular field of view:
- Tenez les jumelles près de vos yeux.
- Grasp each barrel firmly and move them closer together or further apart until you see a single, perfectly round image without any dark edges.

4. Utilisation des jumelles
4.1 Holding the Binoculars
Hold the binoculars steady with both hands. For best stability, rest your elbows against your body or on a stable surface.
4.2 Mise au point
The Eschenbach Viva 6x15 Binoculars feature a center focus system for quick and easy adjustment:
- Choose an object to view at a moderate distance.
- Look through the binoculars and rotate the central focus wheel until the image is sharp and clear.
4.3 Réglage dioptrique
The binoculars allow for diopter adjustment to compensate for differences in vision between your left and right eyes (range: +/-5 diopters). This model does not feature specific eyepieces for spectacle wearers, meaning you may need to remove your glasses for optimal viewing.
4.4 Champ de View
Les jumelles offrent un large champ de vision view of 153 meters at 1,000 meters, allowing you to observe a broad area without constantly moving your head.

5. Entretien
5.1 Nettoyage des lentilles
To clean the lenses, use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical surfaces. Gently wipe away dust or smudges. For stubborn dirt, a small amount of optical cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid using abrasive materials or excessive force, as this can scratch the lens coatings.
5.2 Stockage
When not in use, store your binoculars in the provided flat belt bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This protects them from dust, moisture, and physical damage.
5.3 Résistance à l'eau
The Eschenbach Viva 6x15 Binoculars are waterproof. While they can withstand exposure to moisture, it is recommended to wipe them dry immediately after contact with water to prevent water spots and ensure longevity. Do not submerge the binoculars.
6. Dépannage
- L'image est floue : Adjust the central focus wheel. Ensure the pupillary distance is correctly set for a single, circular field of view. If you wear glasses, try removing them.
- Cannot achieve a single image: Adjust the pupillary distance by moving the barrels closer or further apart until the two images merge into one.
- Bords sombres dans le champ de view: This indicates incorrect pupillary distance. Adjust the barrels until the dark edges disappear and you see a full, clear circle.
- Dust on lenses: Reportez-vous aux instructions de nettoyage de la section 5.1.
