cleaning stroke use a fresh applicator. The fewer strokes the better! Any residual “fi lm”
will not effect visual performance.
The star diagonal has a fi rst-surface mirror. It should be cleaned only when abso-
lutely necessary. The Tele Vue 60° and 90° diagonal mirror should be removed for cleaning
by removing the back cover's four screws, lifting the back off the diagonal body and cleaning
the entire mirror surface. First blow loose dust away with a squeeze bulb. CAUTION: Do
not clean mirror with water or water based cleaners such as Windex or any other commer-
cial lens cleaners: this is not a lens. All contain too much water and will leave a residue.
Use a Q-Tip moistened with pure acetone or methanol or Isopropyl alcohol (reagent grade).
Wipe the surface gently. Use very light pressure and never rub. Slight residual stains or
dust spots will have no visible effects in observing.
Clean either the Porro or 45° prism just like the mirror diagonal.
The black anodized surfaces of the Tele Vue-60 can be cleaned with “Windex.”
If you have any questions about the care, operation or performance of your Tele
Vue-60, please call Tele Vue at (845) 469-4551 from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm EST.
