Maintenance of your binocular
Your binocular is designed for years of trouble free use.
Following a few service recommendations will insure
years of service.
Binocular Case
A rugged binocular case is provided to protect your unit
when travelling and not in use.
Cleaning your Binocular
Keeping your binocular clean and dry will allow you ma-
ximum enjoyment and trouble free service. Remove dust
and debris with a soft brush or compressed air.
If your binocular is used at sea, or near a salt-water en-
vironment, it is strongly recommended that your rinse
the binocular in fresh water. This removes salt that may
damage your unit.
Lens Cleaning
Dust, salt and the oil left from fingerprint smudges im-
pairs your binoculars’ brightness and should never be
allowed to remain on the lenses because they can harm
the multi-coating applied to the lens surfaces.
Loose dust and debris should be removed by blowing
the debris off, using an optical lens cleaning bush or
compressed air. If fingerprints or smudges remain on the
lens, use optical lens tissue and lens cleaner solution to
clean the lenses. Follow the instructions on the lens
cleaning tissue and cleaner. Lens cleaning supplies are
available from sporting goods or all camera or optical
stores.
Note
Do not “over clean” lenses. Excessive cleaning can da-
mage the multi-coatings. Do not use household cleaners
on the lenses of the binocular.
Serial number
On the bottom of every pair of MINOX binoculars,
you will find an individual serial number. It is of great
importance to record this number in case of loss of your
binoculars.
