Caring for the Scope 

Do not attempt to lubricate the scope. It is sealed from within using  
o-rings and special compounds. All seals are permanent and require  
no maintenance. 
 
Use a lens brush to remove surface dust and loose particles.  
To clean a lens, moisten it with lens cleaning solution and wipe  
it with a clean cloth or lens tissue. 
 
The adjustment screws are permanently lubricated; do not attempt to 
lubricate them. Keep the cover screws and sealing washers in place 
except when the scope is being aligned. 
 

 

For information about the Scope Alignment Test and 
Procedure, see pages 34-37. 

Checking the Screen Display 

The instrument provides a method of verifying the display integrity. For 
more information, see page 14 or page 33. 

Resetting the Factory Default Settings 

To return the Scope Brightness option to its factory default setting, see 
page 20.
