Product Usage Instructions
Adjusting for Best Results
To obtain a single picture, adjust the spacing of your eyes by rotating the
two sides of the instrument around the center hinge until a single rounded
picture is obtained when looking through both eyepieces.
Adjusting for Visual Acuity Differences
If you have differences in visual acuity between your eyes, rotate the
eyepiece tubes to different positions to compensate. This can be done within a
few degrees of each other for any given distance.
Wearing Glasses
The Marine-3 binoculars provide a full field of view with or without
glasses. Ensure the fold-down rubber eyecups are in the ‘down’ position when
viewing with glasses for maximum field of view. Return the eyecups to the ‘up’
position when viewing without glasses.
Care and Cleaning
For maintenance, gently remove excess dirt and dust using compressed air or
a lens cleaning brush. Avoid hard rubbing to prevent abrasive scratches. To
clean the glass surfaces, breathe on the glass and wipe with an optical
cleaning cloth in a circular motion. Do not dismantle the instrument to avoid
invalidating the guarantee.
We hope you enjoy your new Opticron binoculars. Contact our Service Department for assistance with any problems or damage.

User Instructions
To help you get the best results from your equipment, please read the
following instructions carefully.
Adjusting to obtain a single picture. To adjust to the spacing of your eyes
simply rotate the two sides of the instrument around the center hinge until a
single rounded picture is obtained when looking through both eyepieces.
Adjusting for maximum sharpness (focusing). Marine-3 binoculars feature individual eyepiece focusing but the large depth of field generated by the 7×50 specification means they deliver focused images from approximately 50 yards to infinity distance. As a rule for general observation over 50 yards, the binoculars can be ‘set’ with zero marks on the eyepiece tubes positioned directly above the vertical line marks on the main body. Focusing at close range (below 50 yards) is facilitated by turning the left and right eyepieces simultaneously anticlockwise.
Adjusting for differences in visual acuity. Some people have differences in
strength or visual acuity between their eyes. To compensate for this the
eyepiece tubes can be rotated to different positions (usually within a few
degrees of each other) for any given distance.
Wearing glasses. Marine-3 binoculars deliver a full field of view with or
without glasses. To ensure the maximum available field of view is obtained,
the fold-down rubber eyecups fitted to each eyepiece housing should be in the
‘down’ position when viewing with glasses. Be sure to return the eyecups to
the ‘up’ position if you or anybody else wants to view without glasses.
Care and cleaning. Marine-3 binoculars require little maintenance but
occasionally the outside surfaces of the eyepieces and objective lenses will
need cleaning. To avoid damaging these surfaces please read the following
carefully.
- Gently remove excess dirt and dust using compressed air or a lens cleaning brush. Caution: Hard and persistentrubbing of dirty surfaces can cause abrasive scratches on the surface of the glass which may distort viewing.
- Breathe on the exposed glass surface and then wipe with an optical cleaning cloth (code 30277) in a circular motion until the surface is clean again.
Do not attempt to dismantle the instrument as this will invalidate the
guarantee.
We hope you will get a great deal of pleasure from your new Opticron
binoculars. If you have any problems or damage the instrument in any way our
Service Department is on hand to help you
