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 Explorer monoculars provide the full field of view when wearing glasses. To
maximise field of view with glasses on, turn the 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.
User Instructions

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 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 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 monocular. If you have any
problems or damage it in any way our Service Department is on hand to help you.
