CAUTION:
• The monocular is a precision electro-optical instrument and must be handled carefully.
• Do not scratch the external lens surfaces or touch them with your fingers.
• Never wipe the demist shield with wet lens paper or while the shield is wet, as this can damage
the coating.
If necessary, clean the monocular with water and dry them thoroughly.
Clean the lenses with lens paper (and water if necessary,
except
for demist shields).
Demist shields must be dry before being cleaned with dry lens paper.
