and prisms

• Never touch the glass with your fingers.

 

• Use only a clean, soft, lint-free cloth for cleaning. If necessary, moisten the cloth

 

with water or pure alcohol. Do not use other liquids; these may attack the

 

polymer components.

 

 

Fogging of prisms

Reflector prisms that are cooler than the ambient temperature tend to fog. It is not

 

enough simply to wipe them. Keep them for some time inside your jacket or in the

 

vehicle to allow them to adjust to the ambient temperature.

 

 

Damp products

Dry the product, the transport container, the foam inserts and the accessories at a

 

temperature not greater than 40°C / 108°F and clean them. Do not repack until

 

everything is completely dry.

 

 

Cables and plugs

Keep plugs clean and dry. Blow away any dirt lodged in the plugs of the connecting

 

cables.
