NOTES on cleaning
Separate the device from the power supply before cleaning
(remove plug).
Only use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device.
NOTE!
Do not use any cleaning fluid to avoid damaging
the electronics.
Clean the lenses (eyepiece and/or lens) with a soft and lint-free
cloth only (e.g. microfibre).
NOTE!
Do not apply excess pressure to the cloth so as
to avoid scratching the lenses.
To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning cloth with
an eyeglass-cleaning solution and wipe the lenses gently.
Protect the device from dust and moisture! After use - in par-
ticular in situations of high humidity - let the device acclimatize
for a short period of time, so that the residual moisture can
dissipate. Remove the dust cover and store it in the included
bag.

8.3. Troubleshooting: the device isn‘t recognised by the
computer (USB)
1. This occurs in rare cases whith some OEM Windows Vista
or XP versions. The device is not defective. Updating the
notebook or PC USB driver usually suffices.
2. If not, proceed as below. (The maker cannot accept any li-
ability whatsoever in these cases
1
).
Delete ghost devices. These are devices not actually currently
connected to your computer. The reason for this is that Win-
dows generates a system settings entry for each USB device (
e.g USB Stick) on each port. It then seeks that/those device/s
each time it‘s started. This slows down USB device recogni-
tion and Windows booting and causes non-recognition of USB
ports.
Cleaning up the system environment and deleting devices that
are no longer in use helps here. To do so right click WORK-
PLACE (COMPUTER in Vista) and open the PROPERTIES
menu. Then click the ADVANCED tab (ADVANCED SYSTEM
SETTINGS in Vista) and then ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.
Choose the NEW option in ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES. Enter
the following under VARIABLE NAME.
devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
Under VARIABLE VALUE enter „1“.
Confirm your input with OK and then reboot the computer.
Change to the device manager. In the VIEW menu activate the
SHOW DEVICES OPTION. The ghost devices previously not
shown will now be displayed in light grey. Check the various
categories including USB, memory size, etc. Only delete en-
tries for devices you no longer use.
