Care & Cleaning
The MMS 160 is waterproof to IPX5 standard and there are no user-serviceable parts inside. As such, the
product casing should not be opened except by trained service personnel. If your device develops a fault, our
Service Department is on hand to help you.
The MMS 160 is rubber armoured and therefore will withstand the typical bumps and knocks that, for
example, a mobile phone or MP3 player would get in normal everyday use. Avoid dropping the device on
hard surfaces and take care not to crush the device if it is packed in a rucksack or case.
In use, if the MMS 160 is subjected to fast downward (or upward) motion such as moving it rapidly from
the horizontal position at your eye to a vertical position at your waist level (or the reverse), the image
stabilisation system will temporarily cause the image to appear to shake strongly from side to side. This effect
will disappear after a couple of seconds.
Avoid subjecting the device to extreme changes of temperature. Also, when taking the unit from a very cold
e.g. outdoor environment to a warmer environment (such as indoors), the lenses may mist over. Once the
device has warmed up, the misting will disappear.
Battery Care
The batteries should be removed from the battery compartment if the device is not going to be used for any
length of time i.e. more than one month.
Cleaning
To clean the outer glass surfaces of eyepieces and objective lenses, gently remove excess dirt and dust using
compressed air or a blower brush. Breathe on exposed glass surface and then wipe with an optical cleaning
cloth in a circular motion until the surface is clean again.
