Cleaning And General Care - Bushnell FORGE Owner's Manual

Turn the coarse and/or fi ne focus knob in either direction until your subject appears as sharp as possible. To reduce the need
to readjust focus when zooming, set the zoom to its highest power and focus on your subject. When you zoom back down
to lower powers, it will stay in focus.

USING THE TWIST-UP EYECUP AND SLIDING SUN SHADE
If you are not wearing glasses, twist the rubber eyecup (A) counter-clockwise to extend it. If you experience glare or lens fl are
due to the angle and direction of the sun relative to the objective lens, pull the sun shade (F) out to extend it.
WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF
Getting caught in a heavy downpour of rain with your spotter won't be a problem. Forge spotting scopes are manufactured
and tested to withstand water exposure to IPX7 standards. Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that
removes all internal air, which can retain moisture.
All exterior lens surfaces have our new EXO Barrier™ coating (in addition to full multi-coating). EXO Barrier, quite simply,
is the best protective lens coating technology Bushnell has ever developed. Added at the end of the coating process, EXO
Barrier molecularly bonds to the lens and fi lls the microscopic pores in the glass. The result is an ultra-slick coating that repels
water, oil, fog, dust and debris - rain, snow, fi ngerprints and dirt will not stick. EXO Barrier is built to last: the bonded coating
will not fade with the passage of time or normal wear and tear.

CLEANING AND GENERAL CARE

The lenses of your Bushnell Prime spotting scope are fully multi-coated for highest light transmission. As with any multi-
coated optics, special care must be taken in cleaning the lenses. Follow these tips for proper lens cleaning:
• Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
• To remove dirt or fi nger prints, clean with the supplied micro-fi ber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse
cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. The included
washable microfi ber cleaning cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to
provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfi ber cloth.
• For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fl uid or isopropyl alcohol
may be used. Always apply the fl uid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
Never disassemble your spotting scope. Irreparable damage can result from unauthorized service attempts, which also void
the warranty.
