7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Lenses

The optical lenses are delicate and require careful cleaning to maintain clear vision and accurate measurements.

• Use the provided lens cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Gently wipe the lens surfaces to remove dust or smudges.
• For stubborn dirt, a small amount of lens cleaning solution designed for optical instruments can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Avoid using abrasive materials, paper towels, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the lens coatings.
