6. OpERATOR LEvEL MAINTENANCE
The operator is limited to replacing battery, as well as cleaning the battery
compartment and outer housing surfaces of the sight.
6.1 REpLACING bATTERIES
See ‘Replacing the Battery’ on page 6. Do not use deteriorated or cor-
roded batteries. Inspect batteries for rips, tears, or cuts in the housing. If
there is any leakage on the battery casing, it could adversely affect opera-
tion of the sight.
6.2 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. The optical system and the window are coated with anti-reflective mate-
rial. When cleaning the glass surfaces, you must first blow away any dirt
and dust. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with lens tissue or
a soft cotton cloth that has been moistened with professional lens cleaner
or glass cleaner; both are sold in most camera stores. Never clean the glass
surface with a dry cloth or paper towel; always dampen the glass surfaces
prior to cleaning.
2. No maintenance is needed on the sight’s surface, although you may
occasionally want to wipe it off with a soft cloth. Only use water-based
cleaners, such as regular glass cleaner, ammonia, or soap and water. Never
use any solvent-type cleaners such as alcohol or acetone. Do not use gun
cleaner to clean or lubricate the Collating Sight.
3. All moving parts of the sight are permanently lubricated. Do not try to
lubricate them.
4. Never disassemble the sight’s optical assembly! Disassembly will void
the warranty and damage the sight.
6.3 CLEANING
To clean the unit’s exterior, brush off surface dirt or sand with a soft brush
to avoid scratching the paint. Wipe the unit down with a damp cloth to re-
move all remaining grime, followed by a dry cloth to remove moisture. For
further protection against dirt and dust, use a silicon-treated cloth to wipe
the outside of the unit (be careful not to touch any of the optical lenses).
The optics can be cleaned using an optical quality lens tissue (similar to
those used to clean glasses or binoculars). The brightness sensor should
also be regularly cleaned with optical tissues.
