If the view still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses; they could be foggy or  
dusty.  
Warning!  
After transportation or keeping the device at temperature lower than  
-25°C (-13°F), the device must be warmed up to ambient temperature,  
from -20°C (-4°F) to +40°C (104°F) during 2-3 hours.  
Unit flashes  
It is normal for the unit to flash within the first 2 minutes of activation. If the  
flashing continues afterwards the following is a possible cause: bright  
environment (even with the cap closed!)  
Precaution  
MB-3 is a precision optical instrument equipped with electronics.  
Therefore, it should be handled with due care.  
Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust, moisture, and  
sudden changes of temperatures.  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may damage the  
anti-reflection coating.  
Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional camera lens  
cleaning supplies.  
Condensation accumulates on the parts.  
It is O.K. to use the scope in cold. However, when the unit is brought from the  
cold into a warm environment, it has to warm up for up to 5 hours (not  
minutes!). Only then it is allowed to turn it ON again.  
To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean cloth.  
Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary.  
Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.  
Make sure to switch off the unit during periods of non-operation and  
when storing the device for long period of time.  
Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens assembly, agile elements  
and thread connections.  
Due to considerable optical magnification of the eye-piece some small  
structures inside the tube coating in the form of dark and/or white points  
may be seen in the field of view which does not affect the serviceability of  
the device;  
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause visibility to  
degrade or even completely disappear. Move the scope away from the light  
source immediately. The image should be restored in within 2 minutes.  
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark environments,  
will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.  
The resolving power (resolution) may change in the direction from the  
center towards the perimeter of the field of view. This is an inherent feature  
of the image tube type utilized in the device. We would recommend to  
place the scene of observation in the center of the field of view.
