Bushnell FX1042AD Binocular F.A.Q.

How do I adjust the focus on my Bushnell FX1042AD Binoculars?

To adjust the focus, use the central focus wheel located between the two eyepieces. Close your right eye and focus with your left eye by turning the wheel. Then, close your left eye, open your right eye, and use the diopter adjustment on the right eyepiece for fine-tuning.

What should I do if my binoculars are foggy inside?

Fog inside the binoculars indicates a seal failure or exposure to moisture. To resolve this, place your binoculars in a dry, warm place with silica gel packs. For severe issues, consider contacting Bushnell support for repair or replacement options.

How can I clean the lenses of my Bushnell FX1042AD Binoculars?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth or lens brush to remove dust. Apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution to a microfiber cloth and gently wipe the lenses in a circular motion. Avoid excessive pressure and ensure the binoculars are dry before storing them.

What is the best way to store my binoculars to ensure longevity?

Store your binoculars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use the provided case to protect them from dust and impacts. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold and internal fogging.

How can I check if my binoculars are properly collimated?

To check collimation, focus on a distant object. If the image appears double or causes eye strain, collimation might be off. This requires professional adjustment, so contact Bushnell support for assistance.

Can I use my Bushnell FX1042AD Binoculars in the rain?

Yes, the Bushnell FX1042AD is designed to be waterproof and can be used in rain. However, ensure they are wiped dry after use to maintain their integrity and prevent water damage.

Why does my view through the binoculars seem blurry even after focusing?

If the view remains blurry, check if the lenses are clean and free from smudges. Ensure both eyepieces are adjusted correctly for your vision. If the problem persists, there may be an alignment issue requiring professional service.

How do I attach a strap to my Bushnell FX1042AD Binoculars?

Locate the strap attachment points on each side of the binoculars. Thread the strap through the attachment loops and secure it by following the strap manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is tightly fastened to prevent accidental drops.

What should I do if the central focus wheel feels stiff or difficult to turn?

If the focus wheel is stiff, check for debris blocking its movement. Gently clean around the wheel with a soft brush. If it remains difficult to turn, a small amount of light oil can be applied to the mechanism. Contact Bushnell if the issue continues.

How do I know if my Bushnell FX1042AD Binoculars need a professional service?

Signs that service is needed include persistent fogging, misalignment, difficulty focusing, or physical damage. Regular maintenance checks can help ensure optimal performance, but contact Bushnell support if any issues arise.
