NOTES on cleaning
Separate the device from the power supply before cleaning
(remove plug).
Only use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device.
NOTE!
Do not use any cleaning fluid to avoid damaging
the electronics.
Clean the lenses (eyepiece and/or lens) with a soft and lint-free
cloth only (e.g. microfibre).
NOTE!
Do not apply excess pressure to the cloth so as
to avoid scratching the lenses.
To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning cloth with
an eyeglass-cleaning solution and wipe the lenses gently.
Protect the device from dust and moisture! After use - in par-
ticular in situations of high humidity - let the device acclimatize
for a short period of time, so that the residual moisture can
dissipate. Remove the dust cover and store it in the included
bag.
