Notes
• Do not touch the transparent plastic plate of the eyepiece with your fingers.
• Be careful not to let snow or raindrops fall directly onto the plastic plate.
• Use a blower brush to clean any dust, raindrops or snow from the plastic plate. If
moisture remains on the plastic plate, dry it by touching the moisture with a piece of
tissue. When doing so, make sure not to wipe the plastic plate.
• If the plastic plate becomes stained with fingerprints or fogged from very high
humidity, wipe it gently with a soft cloth such as chamois. Make sure you wipe it
gently as strongly wiping the plastic plate may cause scratches on the surface.
• The anti-fogging effect does not deteriorate but the finder image somewhat
deteriorates if the plastic plate becomes scratched.
• The eyepiece may become deformed if it is left in extremely high temperatures such
as near a heater or inside a car in direct sunlight.
• In extreme temperatures or very high humidity, fogging may not be prevented
completely.
• If a stain on the plastic plate cannot be removed by wiping, clean it noting the
following points:
* Wipe the eyepiece gently using a clean soft cloth and a lens cleaner.
* Do not dry the eyepiece using heat, such as with a hairdryer.
* Note that wiping the plastic plate occasionally may cause the anti-fogging effect to
deteriorate.
• Stains on the plastic plate do not affect the anti-fogging capability of the eyepiece.
