Care and maintenance
A ZEISS spotting scope requires no special maintenance.
Do not wipe off coarse dirt particles (e.g. sand) from the lenses, but blow them off or remove
them with a soft brush.
Fingerprints on the lens surfaces may affect them in the course of time.
The easiest way to keep the lenses clean is by breathing on them and wiping with a soft optical
cleaning cloth or optical cleaning paper.
To avoid a possible fungal coating which is common in the tropics, store the optics in a dry place
and always ensure good aeration of the lens surface.
Safety notes
Never use the spotting scope to look directly at the sun or high-intensity, technical light sources
(e.g. lasers), as this could injure your eyes.
Improper use or pronounced mechanical stress, e.g. a fall or knock, may result in damage to
the spotting scope.
Improper treatment will lead to an impairment of the telescope’s functions, which must be
expertly examined by the manufacturer.
To avoid fire, do not expose the hand spotting scope to direct sunlight in its extended state.
