Spotting Scope Care

• Store your spotting scope with the protective lens caps in a cool and moisture free environment.
• To clean the lenses, use a soft bristle brush to remove any dust or dirt and then use a soft cloth moisture with alcohol. Wipe lenses from center outward and avoid touching the lens, as fingerprints will smear the lens.
• To clean body parts, use a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap to remove dirt.
• Do not dismantle the spotting scope or the eyepiece. If they need repair or adjustment, please contact BARSKA customer service.

Tripod Care

• When not in use, reduce tripod legs to minimum height with upper and lower locks, reduce center column height and secure in place.
• Store your tripod in a cool dry area.
