Lens cleaning
Do not let dust, fingerprint, etc. get on the lenses. Dirt on the lenses, filters, etc. will adversely
affect the view of image. If any of the lenses get dirty, clean them as described below.
•
Either brush away dust with a soft brush, or else gently wipe it off with a piece of gauze.
•
Only if there are fingerprints or grease on a lens, dampen lightly a piece of soft, clean
cotton cloth, lens tissue, or gauze with absolute alcohol (ethyl or methyl) and gently wipe
off the dirt.
•
Use petroleum benzine to clean off immersion oil.
•
Do not use petroleum benzine to wipe the entrance lens in the eyepiece tube.
•
Absolute alcohol and petroleum benzine are highly flammable. Be careful when handling
it, when around open flames, when turning the power switch on/off, etc.
•
When using petroleum benzine or absolute alcohol, always follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.

Painted component cleaning
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, or paint thinner on painted components,
plastic components, or printed components. Doing so could result in discoloration or in
peeling of the printed characters. For persistent dirt, dampen a piece of gauze with neutral
detergent and wipe gently.
