CAUTION: Do not use scented or lotioned tissues or
damage could result to the optics.
Your spotting scope is water resistant:That is, it is designed
to be used by the sportsperson, boater or casual user in an
environment in which exposure to water, such as rain, mist,
splashing and so forth, might be a possibility. It is intended to
be resistant to accidental exposure to water, but it is not
designed for intentional submersion or extended use in water.
If your spotting scope is intentionally immersed in water for any
significant length of time, you risk voiding the warranty in
doing so.
Also note that although your spotting scope may be used near
a water environment, water on the lens will cause images to be
distorted.Wipe off water from the entire device with a soft cloth
when you leave the water environment.

Terrestrial Observation
When viewing land objects, you will be observing through heat waves
on the earth surface.You may have noticed these heat waves while
driving down a highway during the summer.Heat waves cause a loss
of image quality.
If heat waves interfere with your viewing, try focusing at low power to
see a steadier, higher-quality image.Observe in early morning hours,
before the earth has built up too much internal heat.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your spotting scope is a precision optical instrument designed for a
lifetime of rewarding viewing. It will rarely, if ever, require servicing or
maintenance.Follow these guidelines to keep your spotting scope in
the best condition:
Avoid cleaning the spotting scope’s lenses. A little dust on the
front surface of the spotting scope’s lens will not cause loss of
image quality.
When absolutely necessary, dust on the front lens should be
removed with very gentle strokes of a camel hair brush or
blown off with an ear syringe (available at most pharmacies).
Fingerprints and organic materials on the front lens may be
removed with a solution of 3 parts distilled water to 1 part
isopropyl alcohol. You may also add 1 drop of biodegradable
dishwashing soap per pint of solution. Use soft, white facial
tissues and make short, gentle strokes. Change tissues often.
