Maintenance And Cleaning - Leica TELEVID 62 Notice D'utilisation

Maintenance / cleaning
Special maintenance is not necessary. However,
to maintain performance over many years, the
optical system should always be carefully
cleaned. Coarse dirt particles, such as sand,
should be removed with a fine hair brush or
blown away.
Marks such as fingerprints on the front lens and
eyepiece lenses can be cleaned with a damp
cloth and then wiped off with a soft, clean leather
or dust-free cloth.
Special cleaning cloths, as used for spectacle
lenses, are not recommended. They are impreg-
nated with chemicals that can damage optical
glass and its coatings (the glass used to make
spectacles has a different composition from the
types of glass used in spotting scopes). Alcohol
and other chemical solutions must not be used to
clean the housing. If necessary, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth.
For excessive soiling, the Televid can be cleaned
simply be rinsing it under running water. Salt
water can be rinsed off in the same way.
Note:
To protect the lens – particularly from severe
environmental influences (salt water) – it makes
sense to use an E 62 screw in filter.
Warning:
The eyepieces are only water-tight when they are
locked in the Televid bayonet fitting.
The Televid spotting scope itself is water-tight
even without an eyepiece attached.
