Teleconverter care
• Although you should always keep the teleconverter's lens surfaces clean, rough cleaning must be
avoided. Wipe with a soft, clean cotton cloth moistened with alcohol to remove grease or fingerprints
from the lens surfaces.
• Be careful not to soil or scratch the teleconverter's lens surface.
• Keep both front and rear lens caps in place when you are not using the teleconverter.
• If you do not intend to use the teleconverter for a long time, protect it from rust and mold by storing it
in a cool, dry place. Also, do not store it in direct sunlight, and keep it away from naphthalene or
camphor.
• Be careful not to get the teleconverter wet or drop it in water. Water may cause it to malfunction.
