Maintenance And Storage - Yukon SOLARIS Series User Manual

MOUNTING THE BINOCULARS ONTO A TRIPOD
During periods of extensive observation in a stationary position, it is recommended to mount the binoculars
onto a tripod. To mount them properly, please use the tripod adapter.
Secure the adapter to the tripod.
Remove the protective screw (5) from the 1/4" threaded socket in the base of the binoculars.
Now, screw in the adapter screw into the binoculars' 1/4" threaded socket. The binoculars are now
securely mounted.

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

Aim to keep the lenses free of any dirt accumulation, as much as the conditions allow.
Before cleaning the lenses, blow on them to remove sizable particles of sand and dust.
When wiping optical surfaces, please use the lens cloth which comes standard with the set. If a lens cloth
cannot be found, you can use any soft, clean fabric (soft cotton cloth, flannel, silk, or a cotton swab are best).
Any grease should be removed with a tissue soaked in rubbing alcohol. In field conditions or if you do
not have rubbing alcohol, breathe right onto the surface of the lens and dry the condensation off with a soft,
clean cloth.
Attention!
In order to avoid damaging the lens' coatings, never use paper (dry or wet) to clean the lens nor
apply rubbing alcohol directly onto the lens.
To clean the binoculars' exterior, please use a dry tissue. For sheen, apply a few drops of synthetic cleaning
to the tissue.
The binoculars are a sensitive optical instrument; do not drop them. Safeguard them from any other
physical damage.
Do not subject the binoculars to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
Do not leave near a heater or heating appliances.
When not in use, keep your binoculars in the included carrying case in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated
space.
