Maintenance and Storage
1. Do not leave stains or fingerprints on the lenses or filters. If they get dirty, blow away dust with a commercially
available blower and gently wipe the lens or filter with a piece of cleaning paper (or clean gauze).
Only when cleaning fingerprints and oil stains, slightly moisten a piece of cleaning paper with commercially
available absolute alcohol and wipe them off with it.
Since the absolute alcohol is highly flammable, it must be handled carefully. Be sure to keep it away
CAUTION
from open flames or potential sources of electrical sparks. For example, the electrical equipment that
is switched on and off may cause the ignition of a fire. Also, always use absolute alcohol only in a
well-ventilated room.
2. Wipe the portions other than lens with a dry soft cloth. If the dirt cannot be removed by dry-wiping, moisten a soft
cloth with diluted neutral detergent and wipe the dirty surface with it.
Do not use the organic solvents because they may deteriorate the coated surface or plastic parts.
