TRIPODMOUNTING
After setting up your tripod on a stable, level surface, fasten the scope’s mounting base to the
screw on the tripod’s platform, so that the scope is held securely in place (see “Using the Mini
Tripod” on the next page if you are using the included tripod). The scope has a rotating tripod
mounting collar. Loosen the tripod collar knob, then twist the scope to the desired position
(for example, you may prefer to position the focus knob o to one side instead of on top), then
tighten the knob back clockwise in the “Lock” direction.
USINGtheZOOMEYEPIECEandFOCUSING
Remove the protective zoom eyepiece cover by unscrewing it (counter-clockwise), and remove
the objective lens cap by squeezing the release tabs inward. Rotate the zoom ring on the eyepiece
to adjust magnifying power from low (18x) to high (36x). Lower power settings will provide a
brighter image with a wider eld of view; higher powers allow observing smaller details on more
distant subjects. To reduce the need to readjust focus when zooming, set the zoom to its highest
power and focus on your subject. When you zoom back down a lower power, it will stay in focus.
Note: the zoom eyepiece is not interchangeable. Do not attempt to remove it from the scope.
WATERPROOF/FOGPROOF
Your Bushnell Sentry spotting scope has been designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof
and fogproof technology. The scope is O-ring sealed for complete moisture protection. Fogproof
protection is achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal air which can retain
moisture.
