CARE AND CLEANING
Your Tasco binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give any fine optical instrument.
• Do not expose non-waterproof models to heavy rain or other excessive moisture.
• If your binocular has roll-down, flexible eyecups, store it with the eyecups up. This avoids excessive stress and wear on the
eyecups in the down position.
• Avoid sharp impacts. Use the included neckstrap to avoid accidently dropping the binoculars to prevent mis-alignment of the
optics.
• When not using them, store your binoculars in the provided case in a cool, dry place.
• Avoid storing the binoculars in hot places, such as the passenger compartment of a vehicle on a hot day. The high temperature
could adversely affect the lubricants and sealants. Never leave the binocular where direct sunlight can enter either the objective
or the eyepiece lens. Damage may result from the concentration (burning glass effect) of the sun’s rays.
• All moving parts of the binocular are permanently lubricated. Do not try to lubricate them.
TO CLEAN YOUR BINOCULAR’S LENSES:
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove fingerprints or other smears, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion. A "microfiber"cleaning cloth
(available from camera or computer retailers) is ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be
used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
WARNING: EXCESSIVE RUBBING OR USE OF A COARSE CLOTH MAY CAUSE PERMANENT
DAMAGE TO THE LENS COATINGS.
