6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning Lenses

The multi-coating lens system is designed to prevent glare, scratches, and fogging. To maintain optical clarity:

• Gently brush off any dust or debris from the lenses using a soft brush or compressed air.
• Use the provided cleaning cloth to wipe the lenses in a circular motion. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the lens).
• Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens coatings.
