Care and Cleaning
Your binocular will provide years of trouble-free
service if it receives the normal care you would
give any fine optical instrument.
• Do not expose non-waterproof models to heavy
rain or other excessive moisture.
• If your binocular has roll-down, flexible eyecups, store
it with the eyecups up. This avoids excessive moisture.
• Avoid sharp impacts. Use the included neckstrap
to avoid accidentally dropping the binoculars to
prevent mis-alignment of the optics.
• When not using them, store your binoculars in the
provided case in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid storing the binoculars in hot places, such as
the passenger compartment of a vehicle on a hot
day. The high temperature could adversely affect the
lubricants and sealants. Never leave the binocular
where direct sunlight can enter either the objective
or the eyepiece lens. Damage may result from the
concentration (burning glass effect) of the sun's rays.
• All moving parts of the binocular are permanently
lubricated. Do not try to lubricate them.
To Clean Your Binoculars Lenses
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use
a soft lens brush).
2. To remove fingerprints or other smears, clean
with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular
motion. A "microfiber"cleaning cloth (available
from camera or computer retailers) is ideal for
the routine cleaning of your optics.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens
tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid
or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply
the fluid to the cleaning cloth –
never directly on the lens.
