Solar Warning
- Only observe the Sun with ISO-certified eye protection, such as the filter found in this EclipSmart product. Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or a non-filtered optic. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
- Never tamper with or remove the permanently placed glass filters in this optic. Doing so is dangerous and will void your warranty.
- Never leave your optic unsupervised. Make sure an adult who is familiar with its correct operating procedures is with your optic at all times, especially when children are present.
- Never remove your eye protection when looking directly at the Sun during partial phases of a solar eclipse.
