User Instructions
Binoculars can be a useful companion when traveling, going to sporting and
leisure events or used as part of a hobby such as birdwatching or astronomy.
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
binocular around the center hinge until a single rounded picture is obtained
when looking through both eyepieces.
Adjusting for maximum sharpness
Many people have slightly different vision between their eyes. When using
binoculars, this difference can be easily compensated for by setting the
diopter adjustment located above the focusing wheel. To set the binoculars
correctly, close your right eye and look through the left eyepiece with your
left eye and using the center focus wheel – focus on an object of your choice
until it is clear and sharp. Next, close your left eye and look through the
right eyepiece with your right eye. You may find the object being viewed is
not absolutely sharp and this can be corrected by pulling out and rotating the
diopter adjustment wheel (but without turning the center focus wheel) until
the object being viewed becomes sharp. Push down diopter adjustment wheel to
lock in position. The binoculars are now set and a perfectly clear and sharp
image should be attainable when using both eyes together. To focus at
different distances simply rotate the center focus wheel.
Rubber Eyecups are designed to position your eyes correctly to get the maximum
comfortable field of view with or without glasses and are often unique to each
individual binocular.
Wearing glasses
Opticron Natura BGA ED binoculars are designed to provide the full field of
view when wearing glasses. To maximize field of view with glasses on, twist
down the eyecup assemblies – remembering to return them to the upright
position if you or anybody else wants to use them without glasses.
Care and cleaning
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.
(i) Gently remove excess dirt and dust using compressed air or a lens cleaning
brush.
Caution: Hard and persistent rubbing of dirty surfaces can cause abrasive
scratches on the surface of the glass which may distort viewing.
(ii) Breathe on 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.
Cold weather
In cold weather the external lens surfaces may steam up when moving the
instrument from cooler air outside to warmer air inside. If this occurs, leave
the instrument to stand for a few minutes until any condensation evaporates.
WARNING Never under any circumstances use a binocular to view the Sun.
Doing so will cause serious damage to your eyes.
We hope you will get a great deal of pleasure from your new Opticron
binocular. If you have any problems or damage the binocular in any way our
Service Department is on hand to help you.
