Features
Pentax DCF MC is a series of high-performance binoculars rooted in advanced
optical technology and many years of experience.
The optical system incorporates highiy refractive glass prisms. The roof prisms are
coated with phase correction coating to realise bright and sharp Images in every
corner of the field of vision.
Eyepiece rings of the rotational sliding type contribute to compactness. Together
with the long eye relief, they are designed to enable the user to take In the whole

AWARIMINGS
1. To avoid serious eye damage, NEVER look at the sun using the binoculars.
Serious damage to the retina, or total loss of eyesight may occur.
2. Do not leave the binoculars in direct sunlight. Sun rays passing through the
binoculars will be intensified, and should they focus on flammable mate­
rials, fire may occur.
A Safety Precautions
1 . Do not use the binoculars while walking as depth perception and peripheral
vision are dramatically altered.
2. Caution should be taken when adjusting the binocular barrels to avoid fingers
being pinched.
3. Using the binoculars continuously for a long time may cause inflammation of
the skin around the eye where the eyepiece ring come in contact with the skin.
Consult a physician if any symptoms are noticed.
4. Do not swing the binoculars by the neck strap.
5. Be careful with the vinyl bag. Keep the vinyl bag in which the binoculars are
packed for delivery, and all other viniyi bags, out of the reach of children and
infants, as there is a risk of suffocation.
Handling Precautions
1. Do not apply excessive force when adjusting the focusing wheel, diopter
adjusting ring or eyepiece width.
2. Do not drop the binoculars or subject them to strong vibration, impact or
pressure.
3. Never expose the binoculars to high temperature (Over 60 degrees centigrade
or 140 degrees Fahrenheit). Avoid leaving the binoculars for an extended
period of time in a hot humid place such as in a car parked in the sun or near
a heater, as this could cause the binoculars to become deformed.
4. Care should be taken when the binoculars are taken between two places with
widly varying temperatures difference as condensation or, in extreme cases,
icelets may form that could cause rust or other damage. In such circumstances
the binoculars should be covered so that the temperature change will be as
gradual as possible. After the temperatures have stabilized, the binoculars may
be uncovered and used again.
5. Reasonable care should be taken to prevent exposure to dirt, mud. sand,
moisture, toxic gas. water, salt water, or any other substance which may
penetrate the inside of the binoculars, or the mechanisms. These substances
may cause internal damage or render the binoculars inoperable.
6. Keep in mind that the binoculars are not water or weather resistant. If water
splashes onto the binoculars, allow them to dry naturally, then wipe away any
residual dirt with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
7. Binoculars should be stored in a weH-ventllated place to prevent fungas
growth. Never store them in a closet with mothballs or in an environment
