The Display Appears Blurry
To focus to your exact eyesight, you need to adjust the focus using the adjustable eyepiece. The scope features +/- 2 diopters of adjustment. Start by rotating the eye piece ring all the way in, then back it out one complete revolution. From there, experiment with rotating in or out until you reach focus of the display and the visual scene.
You can also make adjustments to the brightness levels. In dim light if the display is set to a high brightness this can cause the display to appear blurry.
