maintenance and care
Lens-cleaning cloth
You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with
the enclosed special cloth made of micro-fibres. It
is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and eye-
glasses.
Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage
the lens surface. If the cloth gets dirty, it can be
washed in luke-warm soapy water and air-dried.
Please use it exclusively for cleaning lens surfaces!
cleaning
On account of the functional principle of all exten-
dable spotting scopes from any manufacturer, an
exten-dable spotting scope never can be tight. When

pulling out, air must enter into the instrument.
A built-in filter protects the interior against dirt.
When closing the instrument, particular attention
should be paid that possibly no dirt or humidity will
remain on the extension tubes.
This assists the cleaning function of the built-in
sealing rings. Despite these precautions, the inte-
rior may show, after long year of use, dirt on the
optical surface. For such rare cases, SWAROVSKI
OPTIK is providing a cleaning service.
With large temperature changes, the objective may
show – when pulling out the spotting scope – some
condensation on the inside surface. Normally,
such a condensation should disappear after a
short while. If not, it is recommendable to pull out/
push in the spotting scope several times at normal
room temperature.
This will make the condensation to disappear. If
not, please consider this to be a hint for a neces-
sary cleaning service as aforementioned.
We have designed all elements and surfaces to
require little care. To ensure the long-lasting opti-
cal brilliance of your spotting scope, you should
keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease.
When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger parti-
cles with an optical lens brush. For the subsequent
thorough cleaning we recommend breathing onto
the lens surface to form a coat of condensation
and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth.
The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist
cloth (don't use the lens-cleaning cloth). Please do
not oil the extension tubes.
