3. Setup and Initial Use
Upon receiving your Carrera 257/S sunglasses, perform the following steps:
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the sunglasses from their branded case.
- Initial Inspection: Check the frame and lenses for any visible damage or defects.
- Fit Adjustment: While these sunglasses are designed for a standard fit, ensure they sit comfortably on your nose and ears. If they feel too loose or too tight, professional adjustment by an optician may be considered.
4. Operating Instructions
To use your Carrera 257/S sunglasses:
- Wearing: Place the sunglasses on your face, ensuring the temples rest comfortably over your ears and the nose pads sit gently on your nose bridge.
- Polarized Lenses: The polarized lenses are designed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water, snow, and roads. This feature enhances visual comfort and clarity, especially in bright conditions.
- UV Protection: The lenses provide 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your sunglasses:
- Cleaning Lenses: Clean lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, use a specialized lens cleaning spray or mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store your sunglasses in the provided branded case when not in use to protect them from scratches and damage.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not leave sunglasses in direct sunlight in a car or other hot environments, as extreme heat can warp the frame or damage the lens coatings.
- Handling: Always hold sunglasses by the frame, not the lenses, to avoid fingerprints and smudges.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your sunglasses, consider the following:
- Loose Screws: If the temples feel loose, the small screws connecting them to the frame may need tightening. Use a small optical screwdriver for this task. Avoid overtightening.
- Scratched Lenses: Minor scratches can sometimes be polished with specialized lens scratch remover kits, but deep scratches may require lens replacement. Prevention through proper storage is key.
- Frame Discomfort: If the frame causes discomfort, an optician can often make minor adjustments to improve the fit.
