Fastening the scope on the tripod

Take the scope out of the packaging and pull out the tripod legs(11) as far as they can go. Place the tripod on an even, stable base, like a table.

Your scope has a normed tripod adaptor thread (5), which can be screwed onto the tripod adapter thread screw (9) on the tripod. After attaching, tighten the fixing screw (10) beneath the tripod head.

Aligning the scope for viewing

Unlock the vertical and horizontal axes (12) by turning the panning handle (13) anticlockwise.
Now you can move scope, attached to the tripod head, on both axes (vertical and horizontal), for optimal positioning. When you have reached the desired observing position, the scope can be locked by turning the panning handle (13) clockwise.

Controls
  • Focus:
    Look into the eyepiece (1) and rotate the focus wheel (3) in either direction to focus on an object. Keep turning the wheel until you can see the image clearly.

  • Zoom:
    Rotate the zoom control (2) to zoom in or out on an object; then use the focus knob (3) to refocus.

  • Moving the main tube:
    This spotting scope has a main tube clamp (6) and fastening screw (7). Turn the screw (7) anticlockwise to unfasten the main tube clamp. You can then turn the entire main tube (4) about its own axis to vary the eyepiece (1) position.

To fasten the main tube in the desired position, turn the fastening screw (7) clockwise.

  • Indoor versus outdoor:
    Although you may casually observe through an open or closed window, observing outdoors ensures optimal viewing conditions. Temperature differences between indoor and outdoor air and the low quality of window glass can blur images seen through the spotting scope.

  • Sun shield:
    ****Extend the sun shield (8) when strong sunshine affects your visibility. Put your hand around the spotting scope aperture ring and simply push the shield out. But you should never look at or near the sun! To find out more, read the warnings in this manual.

Observing land objects

When viewing objects on land, you will be observing through air with varying levels of refractivity due to varying air temperatures. This phenomenon causes things to look wavy, causing a loss of image quality. You may have noticed this phenomenon when driving down a highway on a hot day.

If this optical phenomenon interferes with your viewing, try focusing at low power to see a steadier, higher-quality image. Also, try observing in the early morning, when air temperature is relatively uniform.

NOTES on cleaning

Clean the eyepieces and lenses only with a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microfibre cloth. Do not apply excess pressure to the cloth to avoid scratching the lenses.

To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning cloth with an eyeglass- cleaning solution, and wipe the lenses gently.

Protect the device from dust and moisture. After use, particularly in high humidity, let the device acclimatize for a short period of time before storing so that the residual moisture can dissipate. Remove the dust cover and store it in the included bag during use.

DISPOSAL

Dispose of the packaging materials properly, according to their type, such as paper or cardboard. Contact your local waste-disposal service or environmental authority for information on the proper disposal.

Please take the current legal regulations into account when disposing of your device. You can get more information on the proper disposal from your local waste-disposal service or environmental authority.
