OPERATION AND CONTROLS
1. Do not open the right and left
binocular tubes beyond their
limits. Also be careful not to
rotate the diopter ring, focusing
ring beyond their limits. (Fig. 7)
2. Avoid rain, water splashes,
sand and mud. (Fig. 8) With
waterproof binoculars, though
some rain or splashed water will
do no harm, wipe the water off as
soon as possible.
3. Always protect binoculars from
shock. If you cannot obtain a
normal image after dropping or
getting the binoculars wet, take
them immediately to the shop
where you purchased them.
(Fig. 9)

dry the binoculars at room
temperature.

STORAGE
5. Water condensation or mold may
occur on lens surfaces because
of high humidity. Therefore, store
the binoculars in a cool, dry place.
After use on a rainy day or at
night, thoroughly dry them at room
temperature, then store in a cool,
dry place.
6. For lengthy storage, keep
binoculars in a plastic bag or an
airtight container with a desiccant. If
this is not possible, store in a clean,
well-ventilated place, separate from
the case, as they are easily affected
by moisture. (Fig. 10)
7. Do not leave the binoculars in a car
on a hot or sunny day, or near heat
generating equipment. This may
damage or negatively affect them.

MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
8. After having removed dust with a blower, clean the body surface using
a soft, clean cloth. After use at the seaside, lightly soak a soft, clean
cloth with water and wipe off salt that may be on the body surface.
Then wipe the body surface with a dry cloth. Do not use benzene,
thinner, or other organic agents. (Fig. 12)
9. When removing dust on the lens surface, use a soft oil-free brush.
10.When removing stains or smudges like fingerprints, from the lens
surfaces, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft clean cotton cloth or
quality oil-free lens tissue. Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (not
denatured) to wipe stubborn smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or
ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the lens surface. Once the cloth has
been used for cleaning the body, it should not be used again for the
lens surface. (Fig. 13)
11.Remove dust trapped in the focusing unit, diopter adjustment unit, or
other rotating parts with a soft brush.
