M24 Binoculars…
Basics
of Binoc
Care
T
he M24 miniature binoculars are lightweight and small enough to fit in your
BDU pocket. But they’re every bit the equal of the larger M22 binoculars when it
comes to magnification, laser protection and reticle features.
ordering.
•
It’s OK to breathe directly on the lens for cleaning. Just wipe the moisture off right
away, especially in freezing weather. If the moisture freezes, it’ll obstruct your vision.
Also, you might damage the lens trying to scrape off the ice.
•
Use lens covers when you take your binoculars from a warm area to a cold area.
That way the lenses cool gradually and you avoid condensation.
•
Never let the binoculars lie
uncovered in direct sunlight. Heat
lets gas escape from inside and can
break down the adhesive that holds
the optical elements in place.
•
If you’re in sandy, dusty areas,
keep the lens covers on and the
binoculars in your pocket and out of
the elements. Blowing sand and
dust scratch the lenses and dirty the
adjusting mechanisms.
Your M24 should never go without lens covers. They’re too important for pro-
tection. Get the eye lens cover with NSN
6650-01-433-3048 and the objective lens
covers with NSN 6650–01-433-3056.
