positioned just above the pupil of
your eye. The nosepads on the
frame will be adjusted to align the
bottom of the eyepiece with the top
of the pupil.

When looking below the Falcon,
the telescope will have an upward
tilted position. The red arrow
shows the user looking beneath
the Falcon.

dip the head down and look up into
the eyepiece. The viewing angle of
the telescope will be adjusted by the
prescriber to be parallel with your
line of sight (red arrow) while
looking through the telescope.
4. The power cable should not be
disconnected from the telescope

the Micro-USB cable provided. Use any
USB charging port to charge the battery.
The Falcon will operate for approximately
8 hours on a full battery charge. To turn
off the Falcon, simply remove the USB
cable from the battery.
7. Your prescriber will adjust the eyepiece
focus to set it for your prescription and
lock it in place. If your prescription is
high, a special eyepiece correction may
be required.

On occasion the autofocus will not focus
as the user might expect. This may occur
when looking at an unusually reflective
target or when looking through a window.

briefly (red arrow), the focus will hold at
the distance it was focused. By pressing
the button again, the autofocus will
reactivate. By pressing the override
button twice, the Falcon will automatically
shift focus to infinity and hold. By pressing
the button again, the autofocus will
reactivate.
• Single Press: the focus will hold at the
current distance.
• Double Press: the focus will change to
optical infinity.
• Restart autofocusing: pressing the button
again will reactivate autofocusing.
