Cleaning The Eyepiece; Warnings And Cautions; Troubleshooting - ATN Night Storm User Manual

clEANINg ThE EyEpIEcE

You may need to clean the eyepiece of the night Storm from time to time in order to guarantee
top performance. When you receive your night Storm you should check for dust on the
eyepiece of the unit.
First you will need to remove the eyepiece. to do that loosen the screw set that can be found
on the base. then unscrew the eyepiece counter-clockwise to remove it.
NOTE: You do not have to remove the screws set completely, they are very small and easy to
misplace.
CAUTION: Use only Photographic lens cleaning tissue on these surfaces. Be careful not to
scratch or smudge any of these surfaces. When using compressed air to blow dust away, make
sure to avoid inverting the can while spraying. This can cause frozen propellant to exit the can,
which can cause serious problems with the glass and phosphor screen.
