Place the diagonal prism (2) to the tube (use the chrome end) and
tighten with the holding screw (3). Place the eyepiece with the
lowest magnification (K-20) into the prism and tighten the screw
(5). Loosen the mount adjustment handle to adjust the direction
where you want to focus, then adjust the focus wheel (9) to get a
clear and sharp view.

Changing the eyepiece will change the power or magnification
(see the EYEPIECE CHART ON NEXT PAGE).
Focus re-adjustment may be required.

Using the 2x Barlow will double the magnification or power.
The Barlow is placed between the telescope and the eyepiece.

conjunction with the diagonal prism. (see diagram below)

2x BARLOW

ASSEMBLY

MAGNIFICATION

USE 2x BARLOW

Always keep your eyepiece lens in the pouch. Use lens cloth or
soft and lintless cloth when cleaning or wiping the lenses. Never
attempt to clean the telescope internally or take it apart.

Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations likely to cause any
dampness in the air to condense on the telescope's lens.
If this phenomenon occurs, place the lens at a moderate distance
away from a heat source and let the dampness evaporate away
progressively.

Warning: To avoid any eye injury never look directly into another
optical instrument through the telescope and never observe the
sun with unprotected eyes!

This product is designed and intended for ages 13 years and older.
