ARNING! Never use a Meade
®
 binocular to look at the
Sun!  
Looking at or near the Sun will cause inst
ant and irre-
versible damage to your eye. Eye damage is of
ten p
ainless,
so there is no warning to the observer that damage has oc-
curred until it is too late. Do not point the binocular at or near
the Sun. Children should always have adult supervision while
observing.
