Care and cleaning:

While not in use, we recommend that users store the

SolaREDi alpha telescope with its end caps on, in the provided heavy duty

re-sealable plastic bag with dessicant dehydrating packets; in a climate

controlled environment. The SolaREDi telescope optical filter life expectan-

cy is extended up to 2-3 times by climate controlled storage.

Do not touch the internal, red optical elements of the SolaREDi filter assem-

bly. While the exterior glass surface coatings are durable, they are easily

scratched. A few specks of dust will have no effect on the quality of the

image, and may be gently blown off with a squeeze bulb. Do NOT use

compressed air cans to blow dust off any optical surfaces. Small amounts

of residual 'film' will not affect visual performance. Fingerprints, smudges

and smears must be cleaned off. Preferred cleaning method is to return

the SolaREDi to the DayStar Filters laboratory for proper factory cleaning.

Do not unscrew, open or separate your SolaREDi filter assembly. The optical

elements are held under pressure by design and will become damaged if

opened. Opening the optical filter assembly will void your warranty. The

safest cleaning method is to moisten a very soft, lint-free tissue, cloth or "Q-

tip" with a pure acetone, methanol, or Isopropyl Alcohol (reagent grade)

and gently whisk away the stain. Do not apply solutions directly to the glass

surface. Stroke from the center of the aperture outward only. After each

cleaning stroke, use a fresh applicator. The fewer strokes, the better!

The tube and other parts are powder-coated for durability and can be pol-

ished with any non-abrasive car wax. Red anodized surfaces can be

cleaned with Windex.

Warranty:

The SolaREDi alpha telescope is warranted to be free of manu-

facturing or workmanship defects for 10 years from the date of purchase. If

your SolaREDi alpha telescope requires warranty service, please contact

DayStar Filters to discuss the defect, upon which you will receive a return

authorization. NO RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED WITHOUT PRIOR AUTHORIZATION.

The warranty does NOT include: collimation, defects caused by mis-han-

dling, excessive or inappropriate weather exposure, optical cleaning, or

opening the optical filter assembly, defects of a subjective nature, cover-

age for any telescope purchased through an unauthorized DayStar Filters

dealer.

Warranty work will be performed at DayStar Filter's discretion and may only

be performed at the DayStar Filters laboratory. The telescope must be

shipped in its case with proper inner and outer packaging. Return shipping

and insurance charges are the purchaser's responsibility.

Special note about opening the filter compartment:

Sadly, about 1 out of 10 filters returned for service at DayStar have been

opened by the owner in an attempt to repair the filter themselves. These

opened filters are always damaged by the act of opening the optical

compartment, requiring more expensive repair services than if the unit was

left intact.
