Care Instructions:
- The internal optics of your reflector telescope will rarely requiring cleaning as long as you put the dust cover on when the device is not in use. Small particles of dust that may enter the optical tube assembly during an observing session should not impact image quality. In the rare circumstance that a film of dirt collects on either mirror, you will need to contact Customer Service at (866) 252-3811 or service@explorescientific.com to arrange for the device to be returned to our facility for disassembly, cleaning and collimation. Although the optics inside of the reflector will likely never require cleaning as long as the dust cover is on when the telescope is not in use, eyepieces will need to be kept free of dust and dirt. To clean the eyepiece, use only a photo-grade soft brush or a lint-free cloth to gently remove any particles from the lens. Do not press down hard while cleaning as this might scratch the lens. If the eyepiece lens is exceptionally dirty, it may be necessary to dampen a lint-free cleaning cloth with an optical glass cleaning fluid and then wipe the lens clean using very light pressure. The eyepiece is NOT waterproof so do not spray fluids directly onto the glass or dip it in water. Never use harsh detergents! After you have finished cleaning an eyepiece, allow it to fully dry before storing. Make sure your telescope is always protected against dust and dirt. After use, leave it in a warm room to dry off before storing.

- Choking Hazard – Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
- Contains button or coin cell battery. Hazardous if swallowed – see instructions.
- The lens contains lead that may be harmful. Wash hands after touching.
