Meade CanyonView ED, Instructions And Warranty

for short-term use. Attach the shoulder strap and adjust 

the strap length until the carry case is in a comfortable 

position.
Some Meade ED binoculars include a case harness 

designed for carrying your binoculars on your chest, mak-

ing it more comfortable for long-term carry. To use the 

carry case harness, attach the two quick release buckles 

to the top of the carry case by snapping them in position. 

Then place your head thru the connected straps. With the 

bottom straps around your shoulders, connect the lower 

quick release buckles to the bottom of the carry case.  

Adjust all four case straps until the carry case is secured 

in place and located where it is most comfortable for you. 

Some users prefer the case to be mounted high on the 

chest, where other prefer a lower position near the stom-

ach.  Tighten the straps until it is secured comfortably in 

place.  The binoculars should be easy to access and out 

of the way when stored in the case.

CARE AND CLEANING

Meade binoculars have been designed for use in rugged 

field conditions. By following these simple guidelines, 

your Meade binocular will provide optimal performance 

for many years:

1.  Keep binocular lenses clean and free of moisture and 

dirt.

2.  When not in use, do not expose your binoculars to 

direct sunlight for long periods of time (e.g. on the 

dashboard of your vehicle).

3. Store your binocular in a cool, dry place. Always 

store your binocular in its carrying case when not in 

use.

4.  Binoculars are precision instruments — handle them 

with care. Do not drop, shake, bump or rattle your 

binocular. Its precision optics can become mis-

aligned (out of collimation) as a result of rough 

treatment, which can render the instrument virtually 

unusable. Collimation problems usually require repair 

by a trained technician, and are generally 

not

 cov-

ered by the Warranty.

To clean your binocular, follow these simple steps:

1.  Before attempting to clean any of the lenses, care-

fully remove all grit, sand, dirt, dust, or other sub-

stances which may scratch the surface of the optics. 

Avoid touching lens surfaces with fingers or coarse 

materials. Removal of foreign substances is best 

accomplished with a soft lens brush, lens cleaning 

tissue, a lint-free cotton cloth, a clean cotton swab, 

or “canned” air.

2.  For materials that remain on the lenses, use a liquid 

substance designed to remove grease (e.g., com-

mercial lens cleaner, household window cleaner or 

rubbing alcohol). 

CAUTION: Do not apply liquid 

directly onto a lens, which may result in the 

liquid seeping into the barrel of the binocular.

Apply the solution onto a cloth or swab, and use the 

cloth or swab to remove the foreign substance with 

circular motions. Lens cleaning should not rub away 

anti-reflectant lens coatings; however, excessive, 

repeated pressure on dirty lenses or rubbing dirt into 

the lens surfaces will damage the coatings. 

Use a 

light touch.

3. Once the foreign substances have been removed 

from the lens surface, simply breathe onto the lenses 

to apply vapor. Before the moisture evaporates, pol-

ish the lens surface with a clean cotton cloth or lens 

cleaning cloth.

4. For a more thorough cleaning of your binocular: 

Remove dirt or liquid from under the eyecup flange 

(next to the lens surface) by removing the eyecup (by 

gently lifting it up) and carefully cleaning the entire 

lens surface as described above. When the lenses 

are fully cleaned, carefully replace the eyecups and 

avoid touching the surface of the lens with your fin-

gers.
