Focusing Your Monocular:

To focus simply twist the outer barrel while holding the eyepiece steady until the object you are viewing is clear and sharp.

Cleaning Your Monocular:

Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).

To remove dirt, grease or fingerprints, clean with a soft microfiber cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage.
