After each use, clean and dry the scope to prevent corrosion and long term exposure to

residual chemicals.

1. Clean the scope with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and water. If necessary, use a mild

detergent solution, and then wipe clean with a cloth dampened with water.

2. Clean the glass surfaces in the viewing tip, light guide connector and eyepiece

with a lens tissue or cotton swab moistened in a lens cleaning solution or alcohol.

3. Dry the entire scope completely and replace the protective lens caps.

CAUTION: DO NOT immerse the scope body in water. It is not watertight.

Proper Storage

Store the system in its carrying case away from water, high humidity, high temperature, direct

sunlight, dust, salinity, chemicals, X-rays, vibration and shock.

The following troubleshooting hints may help you to immediately solve some performance

problems. If a problem is not solved using these suggestions, call the Service Center and
