Cleaning and Care of Binoculars
The lens surfaces of the eView are coated with anti-reflection
coatings that can be damaged with careless handling. Avoid
touching lens surfaces with fingers or any coarse material. All
optics, even if stored, must be cleaned approximately twice a
year or whenever they are dirty. The dust that builds up on coat-
ings promotes mold growth, which etches glass and destroys
coatings. Avoid over-cleaning; it can damage the coatings.
Always use lens cleaning tissue and fluid that are specifically
designed for multi-coated lenses. Do not use fluids or tissue
that is for eyeglasses or household use. Most binoculars and
camera lenses are cared for in a similar manner.
To clean the binocular and camera lenses, first make sure
your hands are clean. Blow off the lens with a blower bulb or
compressed air to remove the larger particles. Have several
pieces of tissue ready. Put two drops of lens cleaning fluid on
a piece of lens cleaning tissue (never on the lens). Gently wipe
the lens. Quickly wipe the excess fluid with a new, dry piece
of lens cleaning tissue. On larger lenses, clean only a small
area at a time, using new tissue each time. On excessively
dirty lenses, wipe across using one stroke for each tissue,
alternating wet and dry. The more fresh, clean lens tissue you
use, the less likely you are to scratch your lenses. Always
avoid excessive pressure or rubbing. It is better to leave a tiny
amount of dirt on the lens than to use too much pressure and
damage the coatings.
Never disassemble the camera or binocular for any reason, or
the warranty will be void.
