Operating Instructions

These sunglasses are intended for general use to protect your eyes from solar radiation and reduce glare. Observe the following guidelines:

• Wear the sunglasses outdoors in bright sunlight conditions to benefit from UV protection and glare reduction.
• Important Safety Information:
  • Do not use these sunglasses for direct observation of the sun.
  • Do not use for driving at night or in conditions of poor visibility.
  • Not suitable for protection against artificial light sources (e.g., solaria).
  • Not suitable for use as eye protection against mechanical impact hazards.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Carrera sunglasses. Follow these recommendations:

Cleaning Lenses and Frame:

• Use a soft, clean microfiber cloth (preferably the one provided with your sunglasses) to gently wipe the lenses and frame.
• For stubborn smudges or dirt, slightly dampen the microfiber cloth with clean water or a specialized eyewear cleaning solution.
• Avoid using abrasive materials, paper towels, or clothing, as these can scratch the lenses.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or alcohol-based cleaners, as they can damage the lens coatings and frame material.
• Avoid contact with saltwater, as it can corrode metal components and damage lens coatings.

Storage:

• Always store your sunglasses in the provided protective case when not in use. This prevents scratches, dust accumulation, and accidental damage.
• Avoid leaving sunglasses in direct sunlight for extended periods (e.g., on a car dashboard), as extreme heat can warp the frame or damage lens coatings.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Loose Temples: If the temples (arms) feel loose or wobbly, they may require adjustment. It is recommended to visit a qualified optician for professional adjustment to prevent damage to the frame. Do not attempt to bend them yourself.
• Scratched Lenses: Minor surface scratches can sometimes be minimized by professional lens polishing. For deep scratches, lens replacement may be necessary. Always use the protective case to minimize the risk of scratches.
• Uncomfortable Fit: If the sunglasses feel too tight, too loose, or cause discomfort, an optician can often adjust the frame for a better, more comfortable fit.
• Reduced Clarity: Ensure lenses are clean. If clarity issues persist after cleaning, inspect for scratches or damage.
