Use and Care

To preserve the optical quality of your Vortex Crossfire 10x42 binoculars, clean the lenses only with the supplied microfiber cloth and avoid any contact with harsh solvents. The central focus wheel allows quick, simultaneous adjustment of both optical tubes; set the diopter value on the right eyecup once according to your vision, then keep this setting for future outings. Store the device in its GlassPak case between uses to protect it from dust and impacts. Thanks to their waterproof, shockproof construction, these binoculars are suitable for occasional use while hiking as well as regular use during hunting or nature outings in Switzerland.
