The Spark-X should always be stored in the supplied packaging, particularly in heated and ventilated
rooms. To keep the device operational, please follow the instructions listed previously regarding prep-
arations for storage. The battery should be stored separately from the device and be inserted into the
battery compartment only when the device is being prepared for use. The presence of both acids and
alkalis near the goggles is not recommended.
When stored, your Spark-X should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight or extreme tempera-
tures.
GOGGLES CLEANING PROCEDURES
1) Gently remove any dirt from the goggles using a clean, soft cloth.
2) Wipe external surfaces down (with the exception of optical surfaces) with a clean cloth moistened
with pure water.
3) Dry all wet surfaces with a different clean, dry cloth.
4) Carefully remove any dirt from the optical surfaces using a lens brush.
5) To avoid scratches, optical surfaces must be cleaned using a clean cotton swab that has been slight-
ly dampened with pure alcohol. The glass should be wiped in circular motions starting from the center
and moving out towards the edge, without touching the barrel. Change the cotton swab as soon as it
becomes dirty.
