HOW TO USE THE RAZOR HD SPOTTING SCOPE
Attach the eyepiece
Before attaching the eyepiece, remove any covers that would interfere with attaching the
eyepiece to the spotting scope body. Keep exterior lens covers handy to protect exposed
lenses whenever you’re not viewing through the Razor HD spotting scope.
• To attach the eyepiece, line up the red line on the
eyepiece with the red dot on the bayonet fitting, insert the
eyepiece into the body and rotate in a clockwise direction
until you hear a “click”.
• To detach the eyepiece, hold the lock down while
rotating the eyepiece in a counter-clockwise direction.

Mount the Razor HD
Attach the Razor HD to a tripod or car window mount for steady viewing. Simply secure
the tripod mount foot on a quick-release plate or
mounting plate of the tripod head.
The tripod foot attaches to any
tripod or car window mount that
uses 1/4” x 20 screw threads.
The balance support on the base of
the spotting scope body helps keep the
Razor HD in an upright position when
placed on a flat surface.

Adjust the magnification
The versatile magnification of the Razor spotting scope allows you to view a wide field
of view at a lower power, then zoom in on distant details at a higher power. Change the
magnification of your spotting scope by simply turning the magnification adjustment ring:
• Increase the magnification by turning
the adjustment ring in a counter-clockwise
direction.
• Decrease the magnification by turning
the adjustment ring in a clockwise
direction.
Caution: Never look directly into the sun (or any other intense light) with your Razor HD spotting
scope. This could cause damage to the retina and cornea of your eyes to the point of causing blindness.

Adjust the focus
After setting the magnification, some refocusing is usually required. Adjust the focus of
the Razor HD with the tip of a finger:
• Slowly turn the fast focus dial until the subject is nearly in focus.
• Turn the fine focus dial to pick out the finest details.
Not only does this two-step
focusing allow you to see
critical details, it also ensures
fatigue-free viewing.

Adjust the eyecup
The adjustable eyecup on the 65 mm Razor HD spotting scope twists up and down so you
can observe the full field of view if you wear eyeglasses or sunglasses. Fully extend the
eyecup for best viewing without glasses.
Adjust the magnification with a simple
turn of the adjustment ring. Twist the
eyecup down for viewing with eyeglasses
or sunglasses.

Flexible viewing angle
The tripod mounting collar of the Razor allows you to rotate the
spotting scope body for greater viewing flexiblity.
• Turn the thumbscrew counter-clockwise to loosen the
mounting collar.
• Rotate the spotting scope body to a comfortable viewing angle.
• Keep the scope body in the preferred viewing position by securing the mounting collar
with a clockwise turn of the thumbscrew.
Extendable sunshade
Extend this fitted hood to effectively block out
disturbing stray light. The sunshade also shields
the objective lens from mechanical damage
and guards against soiling by fingerprints and
precipitation.

CARE AND HANDLING TIPS
Keep your Razor HD spotting scope in its protective padded case while viewing. If
your spotting scope gets wet, be sure to dry it out thoroughly before packing it away.
For long-term storage, choose a dark, well-ventilated place.
Keep lenses clean
For the best viewing, regularly clean the exterior lenses:
• Remove any dust or grit from the lens before wiping. Use a can of pressurized air,
soft camel hair brush or an acrylic optical brush.
• Clear lenses of smudges, fingerprints or eyelash oil. Fog the lens with your
breath, then use a non-abrasive lens cloth* to clean the lens.
Note: *Never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel fabric—these materials can scratch the
surface of a lens. Use lens cleaning fluid and an optical tissue or cloth to clean lenses.
