Precautions for Use (Please be sure to read before use)
z Please be sure to read this section carefully beforehand in order to
use your binoculars correctly and safely.
zThe following safety indications are designed to prevent injury to you
or others as well as damage by identifying safety information for safe,
correct use of the product. Please understand what each indication
means before reading the manual.

Caution Denotes the risk of physical damage from improper handling
if the information is not observed.
Warning (regarding the binoculars)
1） Never look at the sun with the
binoculars. Doing so can cause loss of
vision.
2) Do not place the binoculars under direct sunlight. Otherwise, the lens
may concentrate the sun's rays and cause a fire.
3) Keep the plastic bags used for packaging out of reach of small children
since choking may occur if swallowed.
4) If the strap is mistakenly wrapped around the neck, suffocation may
result.
Caution (regarding the binoculars)
5) Do not place the binoculars on an unstable surface. Doing so may
cause the binoculars to fall and could result in a personal injury.
6) Please do not use the binoculars while walking. Doing so may cause
you to collide into objects or fall down and could result in a personal
injury.
ENG-3
Precautions for Use (Please be sure to read before use)
Caution (regarding the binoculars (con't))
7)
Please do not swing the binoculars around by the strap. Doing so may
cause others to be hit by the binoculars and could result in a personal injury.
8) Fingers may be pinched when adjusting the width of the binoculars.
Please be aware of this when the binoculars are being used by small
children.
9) When used for a prolonged period, the rubber eye cups may irritate the
skin around the eyes. If you suspect that this may have occurred, please
see a physician.
Caution (regarding the binoculars)
10) Binoculars are precision instruments. Do not drop them or subject
them to shock. Never attempt to disassemble them.
11) The binoculars are not waterproof. Avoid exposing the binoculars to
rain or water spray.
12) High temperatures can cause the binoculars to malfunction. Therefore,
do not store them close to a heater or in a car under direct sunlight.
13) Avoid storing the binoculars in a laboratory or a location where
chemicals are present since this may cause rust or corrosion. Also
avoid storage in a chest of drawers.
14)
If the lens is dirty, first use a blower brush to remove dust, etc., from the
lens surface. Then use a soft, dry cloth and wipe the lens gently without
scratching it. Do not use any organic solvent on the body or lenses.
15) Storing the binoculars in a humid location may cause fungus to form on
the lenses or cause the lenses to become cloudy. If the binoculars are
not to be used for an extended period, clean the lenses and body
thoroughly and store in a well-ventilated dry place.
16) If the binoculars are taken from a cold environment to a warm one,
condensation may develop on the surface and internal parts due to the
sudden change in temperature. To prevent condensation, first put the
binoculars into an airtight plastic bag before taking it to a warm
environment. Let it gradually adjust to the warmer temperature, then
take out the binoculars. Do the same when taking the binoculars from
a warm environment to a cold one.
All Canon Binoculars are composed only of “Environment Friendly Lead-Free
Optical Glass”. The design is derived from Canon’s corporate policy to care about
our environment.
Precautions for Use (Please be sure to read before use)
ENG-4
Warning (regarding the batteries)
1) Please carefully check the batteries as well as the package to verify the
nominal voltage rating of the batteries before use. Be sure not to use
batteries with a nominal voltage rating of 1.5V or higher or batteries
which have no nominal voltage information. Using such batteries may
result fire, generation of smoke, or personal injury.
2) In rare cases, some AA-size lithium batteries will reach extremely high
temperatures. For your safety, please refrain from using AA-size lithium
batteries.
3) Never attempt to disassemble batteries, charge the batteries (except for
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries), leave batteries in a hot place, short
circuit the contacts, or throw them into a fire. These actions can cause
battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which may lead to fire or
personal injury. (Rechargeable batteries are batteries which can be
charged and reused many times.)
4) Always replace both batteries at the same time. In addition, please do
not use different brand batteries together or a new battery with an old
battery. Doing so can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions
which may lead to fire or personal injury.
5) Please remove the batteries if the binoculars are not to be used for an
extended period or if the batteries have been depleted. If the batteries
are left inside, they may leak, causing malfunction, corrosion, or fire.
6) Insert the batteries with the + and – terminals in the correct directions.
Not doing so can cause battery leakage, ignitions, and explosions which
may lead to fire or personal injury.
Caution (regarding the batteries)
7) If any liquid from inside the batteries leaks out and contacts your skin,
be sure to wash the liquid off thoroughly.
8) If the lamp does not light even when you press the Image Stabilizer
button, the battery power is low. Replace the batteries with two new
batteries at the same time from the same brand.
