3. Setup and Initial Fit
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the sunglasses and accessories from their packaging.
- Initial Inspection: Check the frames and lenses for any visible damage or defects.
- Fitting: Place the sunglasses on your face. The temples (arms) should rest comfortably over your ears without pinching, and the nose bridge should sit securely without slipping.
- Adjustments: If minor adjustments are needed for a comfortable fit, it is recommended to visit a professional optician. Avoid attempting significant adjustments yourself to prevent damage. The included screwdriver in the care kit is for tightening loose screws only, not for frame adjustments.
4. Operating Instructions
Your Carrera Grand Prix 2/S sunglasses are designed for daily use to protect your eyes from sunlight and enhance visual comfort.
- Wearing: Always use both hands to put on and take off your sunglasses to maintain frame integrity and prevent misalignment.
- Polarized Lenses: These sunglasses feature polarized lenses, which are designed to reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, snow, and roads. This enhances visual clarity and reduces eye strain, making them ideal for driving, outdoor sports, and general use in bright conditions.
- UV Protection: The lenses provide 100% UV protection, shielding your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your sunglasses.
- Cleaning:
- Rinse lenses under lukewarm water to remove dust and debris.
- Apply a small amount of the provided cleaning spray to both sides of the lenses.
- Gently wipe the lenses with the microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels, clothing, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the lenses or damage coatings.
- Storage:
- When not in use, always store your sunglasses in the provided Carrera protective case to prevent scratches and damage.
- Avoid leaving sunglasses in direct sunlight for extended periods, especially in hot environments like a car dashboard, as extreme heat can warp the frame or damage lens coatings.
- Handling: Avoid placing sunglasses face down on hard surfaces. Do not wear them on top of your head, as this can stretch the frame.
