Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove your sunglasses from their packaging. Inspect them for any visible damage.
- Initial Fit: Place the sunglasses on your face. The temple arms should rest comfortably over your ears, and the nose pads should sit gently on your nose bridge without pinching or slipping.
- Adjustments: If the fit is too loose or too tight, minor adjustments to the temple arms can sometimes be made by a qualified optician. Avoid attempting to bend the frame yourself, as this may cause damage.
Operating Instructions
Using your Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses is straightforward. Follow these guidelines for proper handling:
- Wearing: Hold the sunglasses by the frame, not the lenses, and place them on your face.
- Removing: Use both hands to remove the sunglasses to prevent bending the frame or loosening the hinges.
- Folding: Fold the temple arms inward, ensuring they do not scratch the lenses. Always store them in their protective case when not in use.
- Sun Protection: These sunglasses are designed to reduce glare and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. They are not intended for direct observation of the sun or for use as safety glasses.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the clarity of your sunglasses.
- Cleaning Lenses:
- Rinse lenses under lukewarm water to remove dust and debris.
- Apply a small drop of mild soap (pH-neutral) to each lens.
- Gently rub the lenses with your fingertips.
- Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth specifically designed for eyewear. Avoid paper towels or rough fabrics, which can scratch lenses.
- Cleaning Frames: Wipe the frames with a damp, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
- Storage: Always store your sunglasses in their original protective case when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight (e.g., on a car dashboard) or in extreme temperatures, as this can damage the frame and lenses.
- Handling: Avoid placing sunglasses face down on hard surfaces to prevent scratching the lenses. Do not wear them on top of your head, as this can stretch the frame.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
- Loose Screws: If a hinge screw becomes loose, gently tighten it with a small eyewear screwdriver. Do not overtighten. If you do not have the correct tool, visit an optician.
- Scratched Lenses: Minor scratches may be unavoidable over time. Deep scratches cannot be removed and may require lens replacement. Always use the protective case to minimize scratches.
- Frame Distortion: If the frame becomes bent or distorted, do not attempt to fix it yourself. Take your sunglasses to a professional optician for adjustment.
