Cautionary Notes
(1) Never use the binoculars to look at the sun or a strong light source.
Doing so may cause eye damage.
(2) If the binoculars are taken from a cold environment to a warm one,
condensation may develop on the surface and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the binoculars into an airtight plastic bag before
taking it to a warm environment. Let it gradually adjust to the warmer
temperature, then take out the binoculars. Do the same when taking the
binoculars from a warm environment to a cold one.
(3) The binoculars are a precision instrument. Do not drop them or subject
them to shock. And do not attempt to disassemble them.
(4) Although the binoculars are waterproof, it should be wiped with a dry cloth
if it gets wet. If it has been exposed to salty air, use a well-wringed damp
cloth to wipe.
(5) Do not put the binoculars in front of a heater or in a car on a sunny day.
High temperatures can cause the binoculars to malfunction.

lens surface. Then use a soft, dry cloth and wipe the lens gently without
scratching it. Do not use any organic solvent on the body or lenses.
