BUSHNELL ELITE TACTICAL

Lightweight Modular Spotting Scope (LMSS) Model# 780840 / 780841H

Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell® ELITE® 8-40x60mm LMSS, a sturdy, compact 60mm spotting scope with an extended 5:1 magnification ratio (8 to 40 power). This scope is also available as model # 780841H with a special ranging reticle (Horus® H-32™) . Both versions of the ELITE 8-40x60 LMSS share these outstanding features:

• ED Glass (Extra Low Dispersion Glass) provides dramatic improvement in color correction with increased contrast and resolution.

• Fully multi-coated, providing increased light transmission. Rainguard HD™ patented hydrophobic coating prevents exterior fogging, delivering a clear view even under challenging weather conditions.

• Waterproof (IPX7 standard), fogproof scope body, constructed of the finest materials and assembled by highly skilled craftsmen to the highest quality standards.

• Light weight but rugged aluminum chassis, drop-proof and durable.

CHANGING POWER

The variable power zoom eyepiece provides a broad 8x to 40x power range. To change the magnification, grasp the scope body and rotate the Power Change Ring to the desired power as indicated by the number on the ring opposite the index dot on the scope body. As you zoom from low power to high power under low light conditions, you may notice a decrease in the image brightness. This is normal. As magnification is increased, the amount of light transmitted to your eye is decreased proportionately. After zooming from low power to a higher power, a focusing adjustment will normally be necessary.

FOCUSING

Rotate the focus ring until you see a precise defined image. The depth of field (the zone or distance over which the image is seen in sharp focus) and the field of view are greatest at lower powers. If the initial focusing is done at low power, you may find that additional focus adjustment is required as power is increased. You may find it helpful to set or fine tune the focus for your subject with the zoom set to the highest power (40x) before adjusting the power to your final preference.

USE WITH EYEGLASSES

The ELITE® Tactical LMSS eyepiece is designed to provide you with the longest practical eye relief possible. (Eye relief is the distance from the eye to the ocular lens which allows the user to see the full field of view) This provides you with the same field of view with or without eyeglasses. When not wearing eyeglasses, twist the rubber eyecup in a counter-clockwise direction to extend it outwards. There are two click stops which allow for setting the eyecup to intermediate positions, between fully extended and fully retracted.

MOUNTING

The ELITE® Tactical LMSS tripod mount socket provides a convenient means of fastening to any tripod, car window mount or other stable platform. For best results, mount your ELITE® Tactical LMSS on a firm support to prevent any movement of the spotting scope. Movement will make the viewed scene appear to vibrate at high magnification. A firm mount will also help you to locate, track and keep objects in the field of view.

MAINTENANCE

Your Bushnell Elite Tactical LMSS, though amazingly tough, is a precision instrument that deserves reasonably cautious care.

• When cleaning the lenses, first blow away any dry dirt and dust, or use a soft lens brush. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with lens tissue, or a soft clean cloth, moistened with lens cleaning fluid. Microfiber cleaning cloths are also recommended.

• WARNING: Unnecessary rubbing or use of a coarse cloth may cause permanent damage to the lens coatings.

• All moving parts of the scope are permanently lubricated. Do not try to lubricate them.

• No maintenance is needed on the scope’s outer surface, except to occasionally wipe off dirt or fingerprints with a soft cloth.

• Use lens covers whenever it is convenient.

STORAGE

Avoid storing the scope in hot places, such as the passenger compartment of a vehicle on a hot day. The high temperature could adversely affect the lubricants and sealants. A vehicle’s trunk, a gun cabinet or a closet is preferable. Never leave the scope where direct sunlight can enter either the objective or the eyepiece lens. Damage may result from the concentration (burning glass effect) of the sun’s rays.

ABOUT THE HORUS VISION H-32 RETICLE (Model# 780841H Only)

The Horus Vision® H-32™ Reticle is a precisely calibrated reticle and is installed in the internal optics of the spotting scope. It is a powerful tool in range estimation, speed estimation, "2nd shot correction"™ and as a communication aid between spotter and rifleman. The reticle is located in the first focal plane of the scope, therefore calibration and accuracy are unaffected by power changes even though the reticle appears to change size. The H32 has a mil line across the entire field of view for object measurement and target speed estimation. This precisely matches the mil grids of riflescopes with Horus Vision reticles so that spotter and shooter share a common frame of reference for concise communications.

For more detailed information regarding this reticle and its use, please visit www.bushnell.com The H-32 reticle design is used under license, and is protected by patents owned by Horus Vision, LLC.

BUSHNELL ELITE TACTICAL

Lunette terrestre modulaire légère 8 -40 x 60 mm Bushnell (LMSS) Model# 780840 / 780841H

Félicitations ! Vous avez acheté la lunette terrestre modulaire légère 8-40 x 60 mm ELITE® par Bushnell®, une lunette terrestre 60 mm compacte et robuste avec un rapport de grossissement optimal (puissance de 8 à 40). Cette lunette existe aussi en modèle n° 780841H avec une réticule de mesure spéciale (Horus® H-32™). Les deux versions de la lunette terrestre 8-40 x 60 mm ELITE ont en commun les incroyables caractéristiques suivantes :

• Le verre à très faible dispersion (ED) améliore considération la correction des couleurs avec un contraste et une résolution optimum.

• Traitée multi-couches, ce qui offre une transmission optimale de la lumière. Le revêtement hydrophobe breveté Rainguard HD™ est antibuée en extérieur, garantissant une vision nette par tous les temps.

• Surface étanche (norme IPX7) et antibuée, construite à partir des meilleurs matériaux et assemblée par des artisans hautement qualifiés dans le respect des meilleures normes de qualité.

• Châssis en aluminium léger mais robuste, antichoc et durable.

RÉGLAGE DE LA PUISSANCE

L'oculaire du zoom motorisé variable propose plusieurs plages de grossissement compris entre 8x et 40x. Pour modifier le grossissement, saisissez le boîtier de la lunette et tournez la bague de changement de puissance sur la puissance souhaitée, selon le numéro figurant sur la bague en face du point pour l'index, sur le boîtier de la lunette. Lorsque vous zoomez d'un grossissement faible à un grossissement fort avec une faible luminosité, vous remarquerez peut-être que l'image devient moins lumineuse. Ceci est normal. Quand le grossissement augmente, la quantité de lumière transmise à l'œil diminue proportionnellement. Après voir zoomé d'un grossissement faible à un grossissement fort, il vous faudra généralement régler la mise au point.

MISE AU POINT

Tournez la bague de mise au point jusqu'à voir une image bien nette. La profondeur de champ (zone ou distance au-delà de
