Monoculars can open up a whole range of new and exciting impressions when traveling on
holiday, taken to sporting and leisure events or used as part of a hobby such as studying fine
art or watching birds and butterflies. To help you get the best results from your equipment
please read the following instructions carefully.
Focusing. To focus at different distances rotate the focusing band until a clear and sharp
image is obtained.
Strap. Packed separately with each monocular the strap is fitted by clipping onto the lug on
the body of the monocular.
Rubber Eyecups are designed to position your eyes correctly to get the maximum
comfortable field of view with or without glasses.
Using glasses. To maximize field of view with glasses on, fold the rubber eyecup to the
‘down’ position - remembering to fold it back up if you or anybody else wants to use the
instrument without glasses.
Close Focus Scale. The body of the Gallery Scope has a printed scale to help with macro
focusing.
Compact Microscope. The Gallery Scope can be converted to a compact microscope by
connecting the 30259 Microstand with LED illuminator (Available to purchase separately).
This useful accessory multiplies basic monocular magnification by a factor of 3.
Care and cleaning. Monoculars 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 instructions carefully.
(i) Gently remove excess dirt and dust using compressed air or blower 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 warranty.
Cold weather. In cold weather, equipment not hermetically sealed and filled with nitrogen
may steam up due to heat transfer from the hands through the casing to the cold air
trapped inside. Try to avoid this by using gloves and leaving the instrument to stand when
transferring from a cool to a warm environment.
WARNING. Never under any circumstances use this monocular 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 Gallery Scope. If you have
any problems or damage it in any way our Service Department is on hand to help you.
