Additional Cleaning Information

1. Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air.

 

Procedure for Stubborn Dirt

 

Use this procedure particularly when there is greasy dirt on the

 

lens:

 

 

CA UT I O N

Only use water if you are sure that your device does not corrode.

 

Do not use hot water as this can lead to mechanical stress, which can

 

damage your device.

 

Make sure that your liquid soap has no abrasive properties or perfume

 

in it, because they can scratch and damage your device.

 

Do not use normal washing-up liquid as sometimes an iridescent film

 

remains.

 

 

1.

Moisten the lens or the mirror with water.

 

 

2.

Put a little liquid soap on the surface and gently spread the liquid

 

 

over the whole area.

 

3.

Wash off the emulsion with water, being careful to remove it all,

 

 

as any remaining streaks can impair measurement accuracy.

 

4.

Take a new, dry soft-tissue and remove the water, by rubbing

 

 

gently over the surface using a small circular movement.

 

5.

Blow away remaining lint with compressed air.

Alternative Procedure A

To clean lenses that are extremely sensitive to mechanical stress or pressure you can also use an optical clean polymer film. This procedure is time-consuming, but you avoid scratching or destroying the surface.

1.Put the film on the surface and wait at least 30 minutes to make sure that the film has had enough time to dry.

2.Remove the film and any dirt with special adhesive tapes.
