CARE & CLEANING
While Adventurer Opti's battery compartment is
designed to be highly water-resistant, it is not
waterproof. Avoid submerging Adventurer Opti's
battery compartment end in water.
Adventurer Opti's performance may be adversely
affected by cold weather. In temperatures below
32ºF/0ºC carry the unit close to your body or warm
up batteries before use. If batteries are too cold,
Adventurer Opti's LED indicator may give low
battery signal. Warm up batteries and treat again.
Make sure to wipe dry after each use.
When not in use, Adventurer Opti should be kept in
a safe place that is clean and dry. It should not be
exposed to temperatures above 120°F/49°C or below
-4°F/-20°C. Also, when storing Adventurer Opti
for prolonged periods, remove batteries to avoid
draining them while not in use.
To clean Adventurer Opti, wash with a soft cloth
and a mild soap solution. Rinse soap from device
and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
If Adventurer Opti's bulb is cracked, chipped or
damaged, don't use it. Return it to the store or
contact us for repair. Email us at help@katadyn.com. Do
not try to
fix it yourself.
