Care
O
Keeping all optical components clean is
important for maintaining good optical
performance.
O
If any optical surface becomes badly coated
with dust or dirt, flush the surface using a
syringe or by brushing it off with a camel
hair brush before attempting to wipe it
clean.

Optical surfaces should be cleaned using
a lint-free cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab
soaked in ethanol or a commercially availa-
ble glass cleaner. Do not use alcohol.

Avoid excessive use of solvents. The lint-free
cloth, lens cloth or cotton swab should be
soaked with solvent, but not so wet that
solvent runs over the lens.

sive materials and keep chemicals away
from Emspira 3 and its accessories.
