Precautions
BN-5 is a sophisticated precision optical instrument equipped with
electronics. Therefore, it should be handled with due care.
•
Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust,
moisture, and sudden changes of temperatures.
•
Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional camera
lens cleaning supplies.
•
Do not touch optical surface with fingers. Doing so may damage the
anti-reflection coating.
•
To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean cloth.
•
Do not take the covers off the lenses if not necessary.
•
Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.
•
Make sure to switch off the unit during periods of non-operation and
when storing the device for long period of time.
•
Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens assembly, agile
elements and thread connections.
Due to considerable optical magnification of the eye-piece some small
structures inside the tube coating in the form of dark and/or white points
may be seen in the field of view which does not affect the serviceability
of the device
The resolving power (resolution) may change in the direction from the
center towards the perimeter of the field of view. This is an inherent
feature of the image tube type utilized in the device. We would
recommend to place the scene of observation in the center of the field of
view.
