Monoculars can open up a whole range of new and exciting impressions when travelling on holiday, taken 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.
Focusing. To focus at different distances simply rotate the central focusing band until a clear and sharp image is
obtained.
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 monocular.
Using glasses. Opticron DBA monoculars provide the full field of
view when wearing glasses. To maximise field of view with glasses
on, turn eyecup assembly clockwise into the ‘down’ position -
remembering to return it to the upright position if you or anybody else
wants to use the instrument without glasses.

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 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 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 this monocular to view the Sun. Doing so may cause serious
damage to your eyes.
We hope you will get a great deal of pleasure from your new Opticron DBA monocular. If you have any problems
or damage it in any way our Service Department is on hand to help you.
