[. . . ] Never use the telescope in the rain or in conditions where it may get wet. The telescope is not designed to be waterproof. If the telescope accidentally gets caught in the rain, immediately wipe off all water using a clean dry soft cloth. If the telescope gets totally soaked in water, immediately contact your Authorized WO Dealer for service instructions. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair your telescope without a written authorization from William Optics Corp. , as this violates the warranty terms under the limited product warranty, and negates any guarantee. The focuser's tension can be adjusted using a 2. 5mm allen wrench if needed. The Focuser Lock Thumb Screw is used to tighten down the focuser's travel while in use to prevent the focuser from accidentally moving. This is most likely when the telescope is pointed upwards and the additional weight of large eyepieces or photography equipment may make the focuser move on its own. Please consult with your consult with your Authorized WO Dealer or WO directly if you have any questions before adjusting the focuser. www. william-optics. com Storage and Cleaning We recommend storing all equipment in an air tight container with desiccate packages to remove unwanted humidity from the air. Never leave the telescope in a humid environment, and avoid leaving the scope in a hot heated environment. If not properly stored, it is possible for the scope to develop mildew growth or other preventable conditions. Be careful after a night of observing when conditions might leave dew on the lens, and allow the scope to air dry in a room temperature environment before storing the telescope. If the front lens surface becomes dusty, smeared, shows fingerprints, or any other surface build up, the following steps can be taken to clean the lens. First, gently blow away any surface dust or particles with a clean air blower (canned or compressed air is not recommended). Second, use a photographic quality optical cleaning solution and cloths to gently wipe the surface clean. A clean cloth should be used every time that cleaning is needed. With proper care, and protection, cleaning should rarely be needed. The Zenithstar has a beautiful high gloss anodized finish that can be easily smudged with fingerprints; however this will not harm the finish. A slightly dampened clean soft cloth with plain water should be enough to clean the surface. Please avoid any harsh chemical cleaners or organic solvents like benzene, alcohol, etc, as these may ruin the finish. Standard Equipment 1.
