Maintenance
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Gently wipe the lens surfaces. For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
- Body Cleaning: Wipe the monocular body with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the monocular in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always replace the lens caps when not in use to protect the optics from dust and scratches.
- Water Resistance: While the monocular is life waterproof, it is not designed for submersion. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or dropping it into water. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
