14.7 Cleaning the lens
To minimize the possibility of damage to optical coatings, or scratches to lens surfaces, we have developed
recommendations for cleaning. FIRST, we recommend you try to remove any material from the lens by blowing
it off with clean, dry deionized air. DO NOT use any liquid to clean the lenses.
Necessary tools
Toraysee® cloth (delivered together with the lens kit). Order number : R379058.

4. If smears occur when cleaning lenses, replace the cloth. Smea rs are the first indication of a dirty cloth.

cloth.
