Cleaning and Care
Cleaning must be done carefully to avoid scratching the lenses and permanently
damaging your binoculars. Safe cleaning can be accomplished by following the
procedure below:
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a
circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth may scratch the lens surface and eventually
cause permanent damage.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic type lens cleaning fluid may be used.
Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth, never directly on the lens.
4.
IMPORTANT:
Never attempt to clean your binoculars interally or try to take them
apart. This may cause the internal optical components of your binoculars to become
misaligned resulting in a double image when looking through them.
5. Keep the lens covers (not included with some models) on the lenses when binoculars
are not in use.
6. Non-waterproof models should not be exposed to excessive moisture.
CAUTION: VIEWING THE SUN CAN CAUSE PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE.
DO NOT VIEW THE SUN WITH THIS BINOCULAR OR EVEN WITH THE NAKED EYE.
