hard storage case (except for the 45-degree model).
MOUNTING
Remove the spotting scope and tripod from the hard
storage carrying case. Screw the tripod attachment
screw into the tripod mount hole located on the base
of the spotting scope. Spread the tripod legs and set
on a solid surface.
FOCUSING
The spotting scope is focused with the focus ring. For
models with a 50mm objective, the eyepiece will move
“in” and “out”, depending on the direction the ring is
turned. When the tube is all the way “out”, the spotting
scope is at the closest focus position.
MAGNIFICATION
To change magnification, grasp and rotate the knurled
portion of the eyepiece. It may be necessary to re-
focus when the magnification is changed.
USING THE TRIPOD
To pan side to side or up and down, unloosen the
tripod control handle by rotating it counterclockwise.
To lock into a desired position, rotate the tripod control
handle clockwise.
SPOTTING SCOPE USE
Remove the dust caps. Point the spotting scope as
desired (as described under FOCUSING).
CAUTION: DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN
THROUGH THIS SPOTTING SCOPE AS SEVERE
DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES MAY RESULT!
