After Use - Canon 10x42L IS WP Instructions Manual

After Use

If there is sand or dirt on the binoculars, wash them with water by
following the procedure below.
Never operate any functions while washing the binoculars with
z z
water. Otherwise water may leak into the binoculars through
movable components, resulting in malfunction.
Make sure that the battery chamber cover is closed before
z z
washing the binoculars.
Use tap water below 30°C/86°F for washing.
z z
Do not wash the binoculars with detergent, hot water, or strongly
z z
running water, as that may result in malfunction.
Do not swing the binoculars in an attempt to shake off water, or use a
z z
hair drier or similar item to dry them, or wash them in a washing machine.
If the binoculars are heavily soiled or large amounts of sand are on the
z z
binoculars, consult with a Canon Service Counter.
1
Wash with running water.
Wash dust, dirt, and sand from the surface
z z
of the binoculars with tap water at about the
same flow as for washing your hands.
Do not rub the objective and eyepiece
z z
lenses if they are still dirty.
2
Soak and wash.
Soak the binoculars in water in a
z z
bucket or other container, and gently
move them back and forth so that dust,
dirt, and sand come off easily.
If they are covered with salt water, soak the
z z
binoculars for one to two hours to remove salt.
3
Wipe the binoculars.
Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe
z z
moisture off the binoculars.
Sometimes moisture remains in gaps between
z z
components, so place the binoculars on a dry,
soft cloth to dry completely in the shade.
After the binoculars are completely dry,
z z
use commercially available lens cleaner
or similar material to clean the lenses.
