Care and maintenance
• Never, under any circumstances, look directly at the Sun through this device without a special
filter, or look at another bright source of light or at a laser, as this may cause PERMANENT RETINAL
DAMAGE and may lead to BLINDNESS.
• Take necessary precautions when using the device with children or people who have not read or who
do not fully understand these instructions.
• Do not try to disassemble the device on your own for any reason, including to clean the mirror. For
repairs and cleaning of any kind, please contact your local specialized service center.
• Protect the device from sudden impact and excessive mechanical force.
• Do not touch the optical surfaces with your fingers. To clean the telescope exterior, use only special
cleaning wipes and special optics cleaning tools from Levenhuk.
• Store the device in a dry, cool place away from hazardous acids and other chemicals, away from heat-
ers, open fire and other sources of high temperatures.
• Replace the dust cap over the front end of the telescope whenever it is not in use. This prevents dust
from settling on the mirror or lens surfaces.
