Hand Strap
The padded handstrap can
be positioned on the left
or right side of the Recon
scope according to the user’s
preference.
Objective Lens Cover
Cover and protect the objective lens
with the tethered cover.
Case
The Recon scope comes with a soft case which may
be attached to articles of gear or clothing using
MOLLE straps or the built-in belt loop.
Rain/Dust Hood
The easy slip-fit design helps
keep ocular lenses free of
moisture and dust. To attach
or detach, simply slide
attachment slit over the end of the clip. The hood
can then be pulled off and on over the eyepiece.
Protect Lenses
Maintenance
The neoprene hood protects the ocular lens
from rain and dust when not actively viewing
through the Recon. The Recon carry case
provides extra protection for the scope.
When cleaning lenses, be sure to use products,
like those in Vortex lens cleaning kits, that are
specifically designed for coated optical lenses.
Keep Lenses Clean
Cleaning fluid and optical paper can also be used. However, you
should never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel clothing
on lenses—these materials can scratch the lens surfaces.
Other cleaning options
• Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on
the lenses prior to wiping the surfaces.
• Using your breath, or a very small amount
of water or pure alcohol, can help remove
stubborn things like dried water spots.
If the optics are exposed to moisture, keep the caps off and
allow the optics to dry out completely before putting them
in the case for storage.
