6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Lenses

To clean the lenses, use the provided cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. Gently wipe the lens surfaces. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.

6.2 Storage

Store the monocular in its velvet bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure both dust covers are in place to protect the lenses from dust and scratches.

• Dark Edges (Vignetting) when using Smartphone:

• No Image:
  Confirm that both the objective lens cover and eyepiece cover have been removed. Ensure you are looking through the correct end of the monocular.
• Unstable View:
