CARING FOR THE LENSES

Maintain the optical brilliance of the Solo monocular by

keeping the lens surfaces free of dirt, dust, and oils.

Protect Lenses While Out in the Field

Store the Solo in its custom carry case.

Keep Lenses Clean

Along with normal use comes the need to clean the

monocular lenses. Follow these guidelines for cleaning:

1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping. Use a

can of pressurized air or soft camel hair brush (acrylic optical

brushes also work well).

2. Clear lens of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil. Fog the

lenses with your own breath and wipe with the non-abrasive

lens cloth included with the Solo monocular.

Other cleaning options:

Cleaning fluid and optical paper can also be used. However,

you should never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel

clothing on lenses—these materials can scratch the lens

surfaces.
