5. Onderhoud

5.1 Skoonmaak

Use the provided cleaning cloth to gently wipe the objective lenses and eyepieces. For stubborn smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics onto the cloth, then gently wipe. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens coatings. Keep the body of the binoculars clean with a soft, dry cloth.

5.2 Fog-Resistant Optics

The lenses feature a fog-resistant coating. To maintain its effectiveness, avoid wiping the lenses excessively or with rough materials. If fogging occurs due to temperature changes, allow the device to acclimate to the environment and air dry naturally.

5.3 Batterysorg

To prolong the life of the built-in rechargeable battery, avoid frequent full discharges. Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears. If storing the device for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge it every few months to prevent deep discharge.

5.4 Berging

Store the binoculars in the included carrying pouch in a cool, dry, and dust-free environment. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as these conditions can damage the optics and electronics.
