Cleaning
Cleaning must be done safely and carefully to avoid scratching the lenses and permanently damaging
your binoculars. Safe cleaning can be accomplished using a Carson LensPen™ lens cleaning device.
If you do not own a Carson LensPen™, please follow the procedure below:
1. Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
2. To remove dirt, grease or ngerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth rubbing in a circular motion.
Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause
permanent damage.
3. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic type lens cleaning uid may be used. Always apply
the uid to the cleaning cloth, never directly on the lens.
4. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clean your binoculars internally or try to take it apart.
Basic Binocular Terminology
Binoculars are commonly identied using two sets of numbers. The most common size is 8x21mm.
The “8” is the magnication, and “21” is the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters.
Magnication: Typically binoculars range from 5x to 12x power. A 5x binocular means that the image
you see through the binocular is 5 times larger than it would be when viewed with the naked eye.
