for short-term use. Attach the shoulder strap and adjust
the strap length until the carry case is in a comfortable
position.
Some Meade ED binoculars include a case harness
designed for carrying your binoculars on your chest, mak-
ing it more comfortable for long-term carry. To use the
carry case harness, attach the two quick release buckles
to the top of the carry case by snapping them in position.
Then place your head thru the connected straps. With the
bottom straps around your shoulders, connect the lower
quick release buckles to the bottom of the carry case.
Adjust all four case straps until the carry case is secured
in place and located where it is most comfortable for you.
Some users prefer the case to be mounted high on the
chest, where other prefer a lower position near the stom-
ach. Tighten the straps until it is secured comfortably in
place. The binoculars should be easy to access and out
of the way when stored in the case.
CARE AND CLEANING
Meade binoculars have been designed for use in rugged
field conditions. By following these simple guidelines,
your Meade binocular will provide optimal performance
for many years:
1. Keep binocular lenses clean and free of moisture and
dirt.
2. When not in use, do not expose your binoculars to
direct sunlight for long periods of time (e.g. on the
dashboard of your vehicle).
3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place. Always
store your binocular in its carrying case when not in
use.
4. Binoculars are precision instruments — handle them
with care. Do not drop, shake, bump or rattle your
binocular. Its precision optics can become mis-
aligned (out of collimation) as a result of rough
treatment, which can render the instrument virtually
unusable. Collimation problems usually require repair
by a trained technician, and are generally
not
cov-
ered by the Warranty.
To clean your binocular, follow these simple steps:
1. Before attempting to clean any of the lenses, care-
fully remove all grit, sand, dirt, dust, or other sub-
stances which may scratch the surface of the optics.
Avoid touching lens surfaces with fingers or coarse
materials. Removal of foreign substances is best
accomplished with a soft lens brush, lens cleaning
tissue, a lint-free cotton cloth, a clean cotton swab,
or “canned” air.
2. For materials that remain on the lenses, use a liquid
substance designed to remove grease (e.g., com-
mercial lens cleaner, household window cleaner or
rubbing alcohol).
CAUTION: Do not apply liquid
directly onto a lens, which may result in the
liquid seeping into the barrel of the binocular.
Apply the solution onto a cloth or swab, and use the
cloth or swab to remove the foreign substance with
circular motions. Lens cleaning should not rub away
anti-reflectant lens coatings; however, excessive,
repeated pressure on dirty lenses or rubbing dirt into
the lens surfaces will damage the coatings.
Use a
light touch.
3. Once the foreign substances have been removed
from the lens surface, simply breathe onto the lenses
to apply vapor. Before the moisture evaporates, pol-
ish the lens surface with a clean cotton cloth or lens
cleaning cloth.
4. For a more thorough cleaning of your binocular:
Remove dirt or liquid from under the eyecup flange
(next to the lens surface) by removing the eyecup (by
gently lifting it up) and carefully cleaning the entire
lens surface as described above. When the lenses
are fully cleaned, carefully replace the eyecups and
avoid touching the surface of the lens with your fin-
gers.
