You can also remove stubborn grit and other contaminants by gently flushing 

the surface with distilled water. With these larger contaminants removed, you 
can now gently swab the lenses clean by following the respective lens cleaning 
instructions. 

ZEISS strongly suggests using a clean, lint-free, pre-moistened microfiber 

cleaning cloth or appropriate lens swab and an appropriate lens cleaning 
solution. Starting in the center of the lens, begin swabbing in a circular motion, 
working toward the outside. Once you reach the outer diameter of the lens you 

are cleaning, use a new swab or another portion of the microfiber cloth to avoid 

streaking the lenses with contaminants and grease frequently located where the 
lens comes in contact with the metal lens housing. Make only one pass to the 
edge where the glass meets the metal. Repeat this process as necessary until 
desired results are achieved. TIP: Use only a small amount of cleaning solution 

for the final lens swabbing to prevent streaks. 

Long-Term Storage 

ZEISS suggests you remove the battery if the VRF will not be used for a 

prolonged period of time. Store the VRF in a cool, dry, clean and contaminant-

free location.
