• Keep lens covers on when not in use to prevent scratches or dust.

• Clean lenses with a blower brush and microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive materials.

• Store in a dry, padded case to protect against moisture and impact.

• After use in wet or humid conditions, air dry before storage to protect seals and coatings.

• Avoid exposing the scope to sudden temperature changes to minimize internal fogging risk.
