PARTS OF A MONOCULAR

FOCUSING

To focus your monocular, simply view a subject through the monocular’s eyepiece and turn the focus wheel until the image is clear and sharp HINT: Eyeglasses worn for nearsightedness should be worn when using monoculars, as you may not be able to reach a sharp focus at infinity without them.

EYECUP ADJUSTMENT

Twist the eyecup up if you do not wear eyeglasses and fold it down if you do wear eyeglasses to obtain the maximum field of view.
Now you are ready to use your monocular —enjoy the view!

TRIPOD ADAPTABILITY

Your Popular Science™ by Celestron monocular features a built-in tripod adapter fitting, which is a threaded port on the side opposite the focus dial. To attach a tripod,simply thread the bolt from the tripod mounting plate into the threaded port. Mounting your monocular this way allows for added stability and comfort.

CARE AND STORAGE

Your Celestron monocular will provide you years of dependable service if it is cared for and stored properly.

1. Protect the monocular from impact and do not force any of the moving parts beyond their limits.
2. Store your monocular in a cool, dry place whenever possible.
3. When storing for an extended period of time, place the monocular in a plastic bag or airtight container with a desiccant.
4. Do not leave the monocular in a car on a hot/sunny day or near anything that generates heat as this may cause damage.
5. Clean any dust, dirt or water that may get on the monocular or inside moving parts as soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen damage.

CAUTION!

Viewing the Sun may cause permanent eye damage. Do not view the Sun with your monocular or even with the naked eye.

CLEANING

Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to maintaining the optical integrity of your monocular. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of light transmitted through the monocular and your overall viewing experience.

1. Remove any dust on the lens with a soft lens brush or a can of pressurized air.

2. Remove any fingerprints, stains or smudges from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular motion. Start in the middle of the lens and work your way to the edges.
   Breathe lightly on the lens to provide moisture if
   needed.

3. For a more thorough cleaning, we recommend the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available at most photo or optical shops. Follow the directions supplied with the cleaning kit for best results.
   Never attempt to clean your monocular internally or try to take it apart!
