Setting Up Your
Spotting Scope for Use

To attach the eyepiece to the scope,
remove the lens cover from the eyepiece
and the spotting scope. Align the
magnification
reference mark
(∆) on the eyepiece
with the red dot on
the bayonet fitting
on the scope. Insert
the eyepiece and
turn it clockwise
until you hear a click.

To detach the eyepiece, find the
release tab or lock on the underside
of the eyepiece. Hold down while
turning counter­clockwise. To
prevent scratches
to the lenses or
dust on the lens
surface, replace
both covers.

Mounting the Spotting Scope
to a Tripod

For use in the field or at the range, the
Signature HD can be mounted to a
tripod or car window mount. The tripod
foot is designed to work with any tripod
head or quick-release plate that uses
1/4" x 20 screw threads.

Using Your Spotting Scope

The adjustable eyepiece provides a
wide range of magnification—from 20x
to 60x. The magnification settings are
shown on the Magnification Adjustment
Ring. Turn the ring and set the desired
magnification using the silver arrow on
the eyepiece.

Remember that your field of view is
reduced as magnification is increased.
It might be easier to start with a lower
power and then zoom in for greater
detail.

Viewing Tips:

• To increase magnification, turn
the eyepiece to the left or counter­clockwise.

• To decrease magnification, turn the
eyepiece to the right or clockwise.

• When using eyeglasses or sunglasses,
twist the eyecup down for optimal
viewing.

Focusing Your Spotting Scope

In order to prevent eye fatigue, it
is necessary to adjust the focus as
precisely as possible. This is simple and
easy to do. You will have to refocus
each time you change magnification
but coarse and fine adjustments can be
made with just the tip of your finger.

Here are steps for achieving the
sharpest possible image:

6

• Set the magnification by turning the
magnification adjustment ring

• Slowly turn the coarse focus dial until
the subject is nearly in focus

• Turn the fine focus dial to bring out
critical details

Adjusting the Viewing Angle

For greater flexibility, the Signature HD
can be adjusted for more comfortable
viewing. Whether you are standing,
sitting or prone, adjusting viewing
angle is quick and simple by following
these steps:

7

• Loosen the thumbscrew on the
mounting collar by turning to the left or
counter-clockwise.

• Rotate spotting scope body to the most
comfortable viewing position.

• Hold the scope body in place and
tighten the thumbscrew by turning to
the right or clockwise.

Attaching a FastFire Sight
to the Spotting Scope

The Signature HD has one removable
plate on either side of the scope body,
just in front of the eyepiece. Removing
either plate provides access to an
integrated mount that will accept any
Burris FastFire red dot sight.

When mounted and adjusted to align the
red dot to the center of the scope’s field of
view, the FastFire makes aiming and target

Extendable sunshade

The integrated sunshade can be use to
block stray light and reduce glare. To use
the sunshade, just slide the hood forward.
This also provides some protection from
rain and snow.

Care & Maintenance

The Signature HD spotting scope is fully
waterproof and fogproof. In the event
that the lenses are subjected to dust,
dirt or mud, follow these steps to clean
and protect the lens surface. Failure to
remove grit before final cleaning can
damage lens coatings.

Coarse dirt/debris must be removed
from the lens surface. The most
convenient way to clean a lens surface
is to use a Lens Pen. Position the scope
so particles will fall away from the
lens, and then use the Lens Pen or soft
brush to gently whisk away the debris
while blowing on the lens to dislodge
the particles. For heavy dirt, like dried

acquisition much easier. Just align the red
dot in the FastFire with your target and
the spotting scope will be aimed at the
exact spot you want to view. (The FastFire
is sold separately).

mud, use a spray of clean water or lens
cleaning fluid to remove the dirt.

Your Burris spotting scope will provide
reliable performance given reasonable
care and treatment. All moving assemblies
are permanently lubricated. Only
occasional cleaning of the outside of the
scope and the exterior lenses is required.
Never disassemble your spotting scope.
Disassembly by anyone other than our
factory will void the warranty. If you have
any other problems with your spotting
scope, contact Burris Customer Service.
