5.1 General Care and Cleaning

Keep the sight clean from dust and debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior. For lenses, use a lens cleaning pen or a soft brush to remove loose particles, then gently wipe with a lens cleaning cloth and solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lenses.
