If there is sand or dirt on the binoculars, wash them with water by
following the procedure below.
Never operate any functions while washing the binoculars with
water. Otherwise water may leak into the binoculars through
movable components, resulting in malfunction.
Make sure that the battery chamber cover is closed before
washing the binoculars.
Use tap water below 30°C/86°F for washing.
Wash with running water.
Wash dust, dirt, and sand from the surface
of the binoculars with tap water at about the
same ow as for washing your hands.
Do not rub the objective and eyepiece
lenses if they are still dirty.
1
Soak and wash.
Soak the binoculars in water in a
bucket or other container, and gently
move them back and forth so that dust,
dirt, and sand come off easily.
If they are covered with salt water, soak the
binoculars for one to two hours to remove salt.
2
Wipe the binoculars.
Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe
moisture off the binoculars.
Sometimes moisture remains in gaps between
components, so place the binoculars on a dry,
soft cloth to dry completely in the shade.
After the binoculars are completely dry,
use commercially available lens cleaner
or similar material to clean the lenses.
3
After Use
Do not wash the binoculars with detergent, hot water, or strongly
running water, as that may result in malfunction.
Do not swing the binoculars in an attempt to shake off water, or use a
hair drier or similar item to dry them, or wash them in a washing machine.
If the binoculars are heavily soiled or large amounts of sand are on the
binoculars, consult with a Canon Service Counter.
