Addendum 2: Servicing and Maintenance
Your Baader binoviewer does
not
require any special or periodic maintenance. If the
binoviewer should need servicing
please return it to the shop where you
purchased it, directly to Baader Plan-
etarium or to a facility recommended
by the authorised distributor of Baader
products in your country.
Please do not attempt to open the
binoviewer. Doing so will void the
warranty. The optical collimation (align-
ment) of the internal prisms is the most
important technical aspect of a binoc-
ular viewer. Baader Planetarium has
gone to great lengths to produce the
most accurately collimated binoviewer
possible. If your binoviewer has been
accidentally dropped or otherwise
physically damaged, it is possible for it to loose its optical alignment and require ser-
vicing to restore the collimation of its prisms.
If moisture should form inside of the binoviewer,
never try to remove it manually! Store the binoviewer
in a warm and dry place without dust caps. Wait
until it is completely dry before storing it in the box.
Generally the glass surfaces of your binoview-
er will not require anything more than a burst of
clean air from a blower bulb in order to remove
dust. Avoid touching the optical window lens or the
prisms inside the eyepiece holders with your fingers.
Should you touch them, it is advisable to clean
them promptly, since the natural grease of finger-
prints contain weak acids which can corrode the
optical coatings of the lens/prisms. Before cleaning
fingerprints or other dirt spots, first remove dust
with a soft brush and a burst of clean air. To achieve
the best results, we suggest you use a few drops of
Baader Optical Wonder Fluid on a Baader Optical
Wonder Cloth. This combination does not scratch or
damage optics and won't leave a halo, film, chemi-
cal residue or tissue fibres. Additionally, unlike many
cheaper microfibre cloths, Optical Wonder Cloth is
antistatic, inhibiting the attraction of dust onto fresh-
ly cleaned optical surfaces.
Baader Optical Wonder is perfect for cleaning optical surfaces.
It causes no scratches and cleans without leaving residues.
