User Instructions
To help you get the best results from your equipment please read the following instructions carefully.
Retractable rubber eyecups and wearing glasses
Opticron Europa BGA 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.
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
People often have slightly different vision between their eyes. When using binoculars, this difference can be compensated for by setting the diopter adjustment ring located on the right hand side of the binocular below the eyepiece.
To set the binoculars, close your right eye and look through the left eyepiece with your left eye and using the center 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 rotating the diopter adjustment ring (but without turning the center focus wheel) until the object being viewed becomes sharp. 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 center focus wheel.
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 compressed air or a soft brush.
(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 mist 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 a binocular to view the Sun. Doing so will cause serious damage to your eyes.
We hope you enjoy using your new binocular. If you have any problems or damage it in any way our Service Department is on hand to help you.
