To protect the objective lens from scratches and dust, the
spotting scope has a lens cap over the front of the tube. The
lens cap simply press fits onto the front of the spotting scope
and can be removed by gently pulling it forward.

Your spotting scope comes with a table top tripod to support
it for more stable viewing. To set up the tripod:

•

Spread each tripod leg outward until they come to a stop.

•

With the tripod mounting platform level, lock down the
altitude locking knob.

•

Place the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform and
thread the tripod mounting screw into the hole in the bottom
of the tube.

Your tripod is equipped with slow motion controls and a
central column that can be raised for more comfortable
viewing.

•

To raise the central column, turn the central column locking
ring counter clockwise, then raise the spotting scope to the
desired height. Turn the tightening ring clockwise to lock
into place.

•

To help center objects at high magnification, slowly turn the
two slow motion control knobs located on the mount head.

Turn the focusing knob until the image is sharp. If the
knob will not turn, the focuser has reached the end of its
travel on the focusing mechanism. Turn the knob in the
opposite direction until the image is sharp. Once an
image is in focus, turn the knob clockwise to focus on a
closer object and counterclockwise for a more distant
object.

Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or
with your spotting scope. Permanent and irreversible
eye damage may result.
