(QBT-1006) QWIK-POINT INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN. INSTANT AND PERMANENT DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES WILL OCCUR.
INTRODUCTION & USE
Qwik-Point uses a beam splitting mirror/lens to combine the scene through the lens
with a red dot projected by
it. The red dot indicates
where your telescope is
pointed. To aim you telescope with Qwik-Point, view the de-
sired object with both eyes. Do not close one. You can also be
any distance behind Qwik-Point. Swing your scope toward the object, allowing one
eye to look through the Qwik-Point lens. When Qwik-Point ‘s dot is on the object,
look through your scope.
COMPONENTS
The QWIK-POINT unit contains the light source, mirror/lens, on-off switch, battery
azimuth and elevation adjustment screws, and clamp screws
for the adapter bar.
The adapter bar permits
mounting Qwik-Point on a variety of
scopes.
MOUNTING
Loosen clamp screws on Qwik-Point
and slide the adapter out toward the back of
the unit.
For Tele Vue Ring Mounts use one or two #10-32 socket head
cap screws for mounting. Ranger models with slotted rear housings require one
#10-32 screw and Ranger models with just a threaded hole in the rear housing
requires a #6-32 button head screw ½” long.
For telescopes with different radius tubes, file or sandpaper the adapter bottom concave to match the tube shape and cement (contact cement) or
screw the adapter to the tube.
Additional adapters (QPA-1004) may be purchased.
ALIGNMENT
With a low power eyepiece in the scope, find a suitable alignment subject and place it in the center of the field. With a Phillips head screw
driver, turn the horizontal and vertical adjustment
screws until Qwik-Point ‘s red dot is pointed to
the subject. Your scope and QwikPoint are now aligned. If you remove
Qwik-Point, check the alignment upon
reinstallation.
CARE
To replace the 3V lithium battery: slide out the battery and install a new battery with
the (+) face down.
Clean the lens by blowing dust off with a puffer brush. Remove grease with a
cotton swab moistened with lens cleaning fluid.
