Technical Maintenance

Maintenance should be carried out no less frequently than twice a year, and 
should consist of the following measures:

Wipe the exterior surfaces of metal and plastic parts off dust and dirt 
with a cotton cloth. To avoid damage to the paint coating, do not use 
chemically active substances, solvents, etc.
Clean the electric terminals of the Battery Pack and device's battery slot 
using a grease-free organic solvent.
Check the lenses of the eyepiece, objective and rangefinder. If required, 
remove dust and sand (preferably by a noncontact method). Clean the 
external surfaces of the lenses with products expressly designed for this 
purpose.
