Handling Cautions

For the Binoculars

(1) The binoculars are waterproof, however they are not for underwater use.

(2) Binoculars are precision instruments. Do not drop them or subject them to

shock. Never attempt to disassemble them.

(3) 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.

(4) If the lens is dirty, first use a blower brush to remove dust, etc., from the lens

surface. Then use a commercially available lens cleaner or similar material to

wipe the lens gently without scratching it. Do not use any organic solvent on

the body or lenses.

(5) 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 the lenses

and body thoroughly and store in a well-ventilated dry place.

(6) Avoid storing the binoculars in a laboratory or a location where corrosive

chemicals are present. Also avoid storage in a chest of drawers.

(7) 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) When the battery power is low, the lamp will not light even when you press

the Image Stabilizer button. Replace both batteries in such a case.

(2) If the lamp lights but the Image Stabilizer does not operate properly, it means

the battery power is low. Replace both batteries in such a case.

(3) In cold temperatures, using size-AA lithium batteries is recommended.

(4) 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 batteries in a warm pocket and alternate them with the batteries in use.

Safety Warnings

Never look at the sun or a bright light with the binoculars. Doing so can cause

loss of vision.

Safety Precautions

1. Never attempt to disassemble the batteries. Never recharge any batteries

other than rechargeable 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 may result in fire or explosion causing injuries.

2. You should never mix different types of batteries. When changing

exhausted batteries, replace them all at once.
