WARNING! Never use an Aiptek Explorer to look at the Sun! Looking at or
near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage
is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has
occurred until it is too late. Do not point the binocular at or near the Sun. Children
should always have adult supervision while observing.
Congratulations on purchasing the Aiptek® Explorer® 300. Explorer 300 is an 8 x
22mm full-featured binocular. It is integrated with a digital camera that requires no
film to capture pictures or video. This manual is designed to quickly guide you
through the operation details of your Explorer 300. For best results, take a few
moments to become familiar with the operation of your device, and save the manual
for future reference.
Explorer has the following features:
• Fully functional binocular.
• Capture pictures and video, and view them on your PC.
• Transfer pictures and video to your PC for easy printing and editing.
• E-mail pictures to your friends and family.
• LCD display panel indicates status for ease in performing desired operations.
Important Note: Images in the camera will be lost if the batteries are depleted or if the
batteries are removed for more than 60 seconds. Accordingly, change the batteries
when they run low. Images will be maintained in memory for approximately 60 seconds
when changing batteries.
To conserve battery life, remove batteries after downloading images to a
computer. There is continual battery drainage even when Explorer is turned off.
Be sure Explorer is off before changing batteries.

If you want to... Do this...
Adjust Eye Relief If you wear eyeglasses, fold down the
rubber eyecups and hold the
eyepieces up against your glasses.
Adjust the Barrels
You need to adjust the barrels, as the
distance between your eyes is usually
different than the distance between
another person’s eyes.
1. Hold Explorer up to your eyes in the
normal viewing position. Use both
hands to hold each barrel firmly.
2. Pull the barrels apart or push the
barrels together until you see a single
circular field with both of your eyes.

If you want to... Do this...
Focus the Binocular 1. Set the Diopter Scale on underside of
Explorer at its center point between “+”
and “-.”
2. Choose an object (such as a telephone
pole) that is at least 50 feet (15m.)
away.
3. Looking with only your left eye, rotate
the Focus Knob until the object you are
viewing is focused.
4. Looking with only your right eye, rotate
the Diopter Scale until the object you
are viewing is focused.
5. Now, looking with both eyes, rotate the
Focus Knob to focus on both far and
near objects.
