Cautionary Notes
(1) Never look at the sun or a bright light with the binoculars. Doing
so can cause loss of vision.
(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) Binoculars are precision instruments. Do not drop them or subject them to
shock. Never attempt to disassemble them.
(4) If the binoculars get wet, wipe them with a dry cloth. If they have been
exposed to salty air, wipe them with a slightly damp cloth.
(5) High temperatures can cause the binoculars to malfunction. Do not store
them close to a heater or in a closed car on a sunny day.
(6) If the lens is dirty, first use a blower brush to remove dust, etc., from the
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.
Storage
(1) Storing the binoculars in a humid location may cause fungus on the
lenses. If the binoculars are not to be used for an extended period, clean
I
the lenses and body thoroughly and store in a well-ventilated dry place.
(2) Avoid storing the binoculars in a laboratory or a location where corrosive
chemicals are present. Also avoid storage in a chest of drawers.
(3) When the binoculars are not to be used for a prolonged period, remove the
batteries. If the batteries are left inside, they may leak, causing corrosion,
malfunction or fire.
Battery Care
(1) Never attempt to disassemble batteries. Never recharge batteries
except Ni-Cd batteries. Do not leave batteries in a hot place or
throw them into a fire. Do not short circuit the contacts. Doing
any of the above is highly dangerous.
(2) You should never mix different types .of batteries. When changing
exhausted batteries, replace them all at once.
(3) Although lithium batteries work well in low temperature, their
performance will drop slightly in temperatures below 0 degrees C. In cold
locations, keep a spare set of
batterie~
in a warm pocket and alternate
them with the batteries in use.
