Never attempt to observe the sun with this device. Eye damage is often painless and irreversible.
Never look directly at the sun or in its proximity. Doing so may result in permanent loss of vision.
Do not place device, particularly the lenses, in direct sunlight. Concentration of light rays could cause a fire.
Children should only use device under adult supervision. Keep packaging materials out of reach of children.
Contains button or coin cell battery. Swallowed battery can cause internal chemical burns and lead to death.
Dispose of electrical or electronic waste separately. Follow local recycling programs for proper disposal.
