Unscrew the small cap bearing the white tripod symbol located at the front of the binocular's center shaft, between the two binocular barrels. Cleaning and Care Although Venture binoculars are rubber covered for water resistance, they are not necessarily waterproof. The lens surfaces of your binocular are vacuum-covered with antireflection coatings, which can be damaged with careless handling. Avoid touching lens surfaces with your fingers or any coarse material. Clean the lenses about twice a year, or more frequently if they get noticeably dirty. The dust that builds up on them promotes mold growth, which could etch the glass and destroy the coatings. Always use lens cleaning tissue and fluid designed specifically for multi-coated lenses. To prevent unnecessary dust build-up, store the binocular in its case and keep the lens covers on whenever possible. To clean the binocular, first puff air on the lens with a blower bulb or compressed air to remove any large particles. Next, put two drops of lens cleaning fluid on a sheet of lens tissue (never directly on the lens). [. . . ] Doing so may disturb the precision optical alignment and will void your warranty.
