2.10 USING THE SUNSHIELD

The integrated, extendable sunshield keeps away dis- turbing lateral light and protects the objective lens from rain. The sunshield is best slid out and in with a slight rotary motion. It snaps in when extended as well as when retracted. The protective cap for the objective lens can also be used when the sunshield is extended.ATS/STS / DE

The protective cap for the eyepiece is attached to the eyepi- ece with a cord. By loosening the screw on the eyepiece with a screwdriver, you can remove the cord with the cap from the eyepiece. Please reinsert the screw.

You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with the enclosed special microfibre cloth. It is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and eye-glasses. Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth gets dirty, it can be washed in luke-warm soapy water and air-dried. Please use it exclu- sively for cleaning lens surfaces!

We have designed all elements and surfaces to require little care. To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your spotting scope, you should keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease. When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger particles with an optical lens brush. For the subse- quent thorough cleaning we recommend breathing onto the lens surface to form a coat of condensation and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth.ATS/STS / DE

The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist cloth (don’t use the lens-cleaning cloth). In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups can be unscrewed and cleaned easily.

You should keep your spotting scope in a well-ventilated and dark place. A wet spotting scope should to be dried before storage. In tropical regions or regions with a high humidity the best place to store the instrument in is an air-tight receptacle along with a moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).

Eyepieces of the SWAROVSKI OPTIK AT and ST 80 spotting scopes fit mechanically into the bayonet lock of the main bodies ATS/STS and ATM/STM 65/80. But the best optical imaging is ensured if eyepieces of the new series are used.

Never look at the sun with the spotting scope! This leads to injury of your eyes!
