WARNING NOTES
Attention: Never look directly at the sun or other bright sources of light through your Leica optics! Doing so may seriously damage your eyes!
Warning: Make sure the weapon is not loaded before doing any work or changing settings on the rifle scope and before changing batteries.
- Make sure that the weapon is not loaded before working on the rifle scope.
- The rifle scope should be mounted with the interocular distance provided to prevent injury to the brow.
- Only the battery type stated in this manual must be used. Any improper use of this battery or the use of unapproved battery types may result in an explosion!
- Do not expose the battery to sunlight, heat, humidity or moisture for prolonged periods of time. It must not be placed in a microwave oven or a high-pressure container as this would pose a fire or explosion hazard!
- Never dispose of batteries in fire and never attempt to heat, recharge, dismantle or break open a battery.
- Batteries must always be stored out of the reach of children. Do not leave batteries lying around, as they could be swallowed by children or pets.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- Protect the rifle scope against any kind of shocks that are not caused by the weapon.
- Damaged sealing rings must be replaced.
- Do not attempt to take the device apart yourself. Repairs must only be carried out in authorized workshops.
- Make a note of the serial number of your rifle scope, as this information will be extremely important in case of loss.
- Depleted batteries must never be disposed of in household waste as they contain toxic materials that are harmful to the environment. Battery collection points are provided at most large retail outlets; alternatively you can dispose of old batteries at a local special waste collection point to ensure correct recycling.
- Remove the battery if you will not be using the product for an extended period of time.
- Do not use force when making adjustments via the setting turrets.
CARE/CLEANING
- Your Leica rifle scope requires no special care. Coarse dirt particles like sand should be removed with a soft brush or simply blown off. Fingerprints, etc. on lenses and eyepieces can be precleaned with a damp cloth, and then wiped dry with a clean leather or lint-free cloth.
- The rifle scope should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry and cool place to prevent fungal growth (particularly important in humid climates).
- Do not use alcohol or chemical cleaning solutions on the optics or housing.
- Do not use excessive force when cleaning a severely soiled lens surface. The coating is abrasion-resistant but is not impervious to sand or salt crystals.
- The housing should be cleaned using a damp leather cloth only. Using a dry cloth may cause friction, which may result in a static discharge.
