CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Only clean the lenses (eyepieces and/or objectives) with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g. microfibre). Do not press the cloth too hard to avoid scratching the lenses.
To remove heavy dirt residues, moisten the cleaning cloth with a glasses cleaning fluid and wipe the lenses with little pressure.
Protect the unit from dust and moisture! After use – especially in humid conditions – allow the unit to acclimatize to room temperature for some time so that the residual moisture can be removed. Replace the dust caps and store the device in a dry and heated place.
