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.

6.2 General Care and Storage
- Store the rangefinder in its protective carrying case when not in use.
- Keep the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- The device is water-resistant (IPX4), but avoid submerging it in water. Wipe off any moisture immediately after exposure.
- If storing for extended periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
