Lunt SolarSystems has taken your safety very seriously in the design of our systems. With safetybeing the highest priority we ask that you read and understand the operation of yourtelescope or filter system prior to use. NEVER attempt to disassemble the system. DoNOT use your system if it is in someway compromised due to mishandling or damage.Please contact the factory with ANY questions or concerns regarding the safe use ofyour instrument.• Never look at the Sun with your naked eye or with a telescope that is not specificallydesigned to do so. Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.• Check that all filters are installed correctly and are free of any surface contamination thatmay compromise performance and/or potentially damage the surface of the optic whenexposed to the Sun. ie: fingerprints. Perform a routine safety check before each viewingsession.• Never leave the solar telescope unsupervised while pointed at the Sun. People who arenot familiar with the correct operating procedures of the system mayinadvertently replace the diagonal or remove the filter itself not being aware of theintegrated safety features of each.• The Lunt Solar filter/telescopes are NOT interchangeable with competitor products.• Always be aware that you are viewing in direct sunlight. Take necessary precautions toprotect yourself from sunburn and heat exposure.HandlingA Lunt Solar Systems solar filter or telescope houses many optical elements that are all pre-aligned and fixed at the factory. There are no user serviceable parts inside the scope. Thetelescope or filter should NEVER be taken apart. This will not only void your warranty leading tocostly repairs, it can only serve to further damage the instrument and compromise its safety.Most Lunt Solar Systems filters and telescopes house a delicate optical element referred to as anEtalon. These etalons are suspended in the filter housing in an effort to both protect it and isolateit from outside influences, which could de-tune the etalon filter. Extensive research has beendone to assure the best performance of what is essentially the "heart" of the system whileprotecting it from the day-to-day bumps, jarring, and vibrations of normal use. |
