SPECIFICATIONS
WARNINGS
• Do not use telescope or finderscope to look at the sun without an
appropriate solar filter. Doing so will cause permanent and irreversible
eye damage.
• Never use an eyepiece filter as a solar filter. Only full aperature solar
filters will completely cover the opening of the optical tube and provide
proper eye protection.
• Make sure no screws are loose before using telescope.
• Do not drop or shake your telescope as doing so may damage the
optics, or harm you or the people around you.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning should be done as little as possible and then only with mild
soap solution and a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not rub elements when
cleaning. Blot optical components gently and allow telescope to air-dry.
Store telescope in its box or in a telescope case when not in use. Do not
use pure alcohol or solvents to clean any parts of the telescope. Do not
remove optical elements from the telescope as doing so may affect the
alignment of optical components when reassembled. If telescope needs
realignment, contact Zhumell or another professional.
1.
Brush telescope optics with camelhair brush or blow off dust with an ear
syringe (can be purchased at any pharmacy). Do not use a commercial
photographic lens cleaner.
2.
Remove organic materials (e.g. fingerprints) with short gentle strokes
using soft white tissue paper and a solution of three parts distilled
water and one part isopropyl alcohol. You may also add one drop of
biodegradable dish soap to one pint of the homemade solution. Do
not use lotioned or scented tissues as they could damage the optics of
your telescope.
3.
Wipe down the outside of your telescope with a dry cloth or let air dry
inside to remove condensation prior to packing up your telescope. Do
not wipe any of the optical surfaces. Instead, allow the optics to dry
naturally in warm indoor air prior to packing up your telescope.
4.
Protect your telescope from excessive heat. For example, do not
store your telescope in a sealed car on a warm day. Excessive storage
temperatures can damage your telescope.
