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 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.
Retractable rubber eyecups and wearing glasses
Opticron Explorer WA ED-R monoculars 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 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 warranty.
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 will 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.
