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 centre 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 dioptre adjustment wheel (but without
turning the centre focus wheel) until the object being viewed becomes
sharp. Push down dioptre 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 centre focus wheel.
User Instructions

Retractable rubber eyecups and wearing glasses. Opticron DBA VHD
binoculars provide the full field of view when wearing glasses. To get
the maximum field of view with glasses on, turn the eyecup clockwise
into the ‘down’ position. Remember 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 a compressed air device 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 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 happens, 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 may cause serious damage to
your eyes.
We hope you will get a great deal of pleasure from your Opticron DBA VHD binocular. If you have any problems or
damage it in any way our Service Department is on hand to help you.
