WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF
Getting caught in a heavy downpour of rain, or accidentally submerging your Forge binocular in water during a boating
excursion won't be a problem. The binocular is manufactured and tested to withstand water exposure to IPX7 standards.
Fogproof protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal air, which can retain moisture.
All exterior lens surfaces have our new EXO Barrier™ coating (in addition to full multi-coating). EXO Barrier, quite simply,
is the best protective lens coating technology Bushnell has ever developed. Added at the end of the coating process,
EXO Barrier molecularly bonds to the lens and fills the microscopic pores in the glass. The result is an ultra-slick coating
that repels water, oil, fog, dust and debris - rain, snow, fingerprints and dirt will not stick. EXO Barrier is built to last: the
bonded coating will not fade with the passage of time or normal wear and tear.
CARE OF THE OPTICS
1. Your Bushnell Forge binocular will provide years of trouble-free service if it receives the normal care you would give
any fine optical instrument.
2. Avoid sharp impacts. Set the binocular down gently on hard surfaces.
3. Tug on the strap after attaching, making sure it is securely fastened to the binocular before placing it around your neck.
4. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place whenever possible.
CLEANING
1. First, blow or brush away any dust or debris on the lens (using "canned air" or a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt or finger prints, clean with the supplied soft storage bag (made of washable micro-fiber cloth), rubbing
in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth (including paper towels) or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface
and eventually cause permanent damage. The included storage bag/micro-fiber cloth is ideal for the routine cleaning
of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with
the micro-fiber cloth.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may
be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.
4. To prevent potential damage to the optical coatings on the binocular's lens surfaces, never use household window
cleaning liquids. Avoid using facial tissue or clothing that may have fibers which can be abrasive and hold oils or dirt.
