1. Do not open the right and left binocular
tubes beyond their limits. Also be careful
not to rotate the diopter ring, focusing ring
beyond their limits. (Fig. 7)
2. Avoid rain, water splashes, sand and
mud. (Fig. 8) With waterproof binoculars,
though some rain or splashed water will

possible.

dropping or getting the binoculars wet,
take them immediately to the shop where
you purchased them.

on lens surfaces. In this case, thoroughly
dry the binoculars at room temperature.

STORAGE
5. Water condensation or mold may occur on
lens surfaces because of high humidity.
Therefore, store the binoculars in a cool,
dry place. After use on a rainy day or
at night, thoroughly dry them at room
temperature, then store in a cool, dry
place.
6. For lengthy storage, keep binoculars in a
plastic bag or an airtight container with a
desiccant. If this is not possible, store in a
clean, well-ventilated place, separate from
the case, as they are easily affected by
moisture. (Fig. 10)

on a hot or sunny day, or near heat
generating equipment. This may damage
or negatively affect them.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
8. After having removed dust with a blower,
clean the body surface using a soft, clean
cloth. After use at the seaside, lightly
soak a soft, clean cloth with water and
wipe off salt that may be on the body
surface. Then wipe the body surface with
a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner,
or other organic agents. (Fig. 12)
9. When removing dust on the lens surface,
use a soft oil-free brush.
10. When removing stains or smudges like
fingerprints, from the lens surfaces, wipe
the lenses very gently with a soft clean
cotton cloth or quality oil-free lens tissue.
Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (not
denatured) to wipe stubborn smudges.
Do not use velvet cloth or ordinary tissue,
as it may scratch the lens surface. Once
the cloth has been used for cleaning the
body, it should not be used again for the
lens surface. (Fig. 13)
11. Remove dust trapped in the focusing unit,
diopter adjustment unit, or other rotating
parts with a soft brush.
