Assemble the Razor HD
How to attach the eyepiece
Before putting the scope and eyepiece
together, remove the covers from the
bayonet-mount end of the eyepiece
and the spotting scope. Keep other
covers handy to protect exposed lenses
1. Attach the eyepiece:
• Line up the red line on
the eyepiece with the red dot
on the bayonet fitting, insert
eyepiece and rotate clockwise.
2. Detach the eyepiece:
whenever you’re not viewing through
the Razor HD.
Remove the covers before attaching the eyepiece to the
scope body.
How to attach the Razor HD to a tripod
• Release the eyepiece
by holding down the lock
while rotating the eyepiece
counter-clockwise.
5
Mount the 85mm Razor HD spotting scope on
a sturdy tripod or car window mount for steady
viewing. Simply secure the tripod foot on the tripod
head or quick-release plate of a standard camera or
camcorder tripod.
Rotate until you hear a “click” as
eyepiece locks in place.
Hold down lock as you rotate eyepiece
to the left.
The tripod foot attaches to any tripod or car window mount that uses 1/4”
x 20 screw threads.

Customize How You Use the Razor
Adjustable 20–60x zoom eyepiece
The Razor HD comes with a versatile 20–60x
eyepiece that brings distant details into view.
• Increase magnification by turning the adjustment ring
to the left (counter-clockwise).
• Decrease magnification by turning the adjustment ring
to the right (clockwise).
Adjust the magnification with a simple turn of the
adjustment ring. Twist the eyecup down for viewing with
eyeglasses or sunglasses.
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.
Turn the adjustment ring so that the number for the
desired magnification setting lines up with the red
line on the eyepiece.

Fine-tuning with the dual focus dial
Adjusting the focus does more than allow you to see critical details. Fine-tuning the focus
also ensures fatigue-free viewing. Some refocusing is usually required when you change the
magnification—handle the coarse and fine adjustments with just the tip of a finger.
Step 1
1. Set the magnification by turning the magnification adjustment ring.
2. Slowly turn the coarse focus dial until the subject is nearly in focus.
3. Turn the fine focus dial to fine-tune the details.

Flexible viewing angle
Rotate the tripod mounting collar for greater flexibility in the field.
1. Loosen the mounting collar by turning the thumbscrew to the left.
2. Rotate spotting scope body to the most comfortable viewing position.
3. Turn the thumbscrew to the right to secure the mounting collar and hold
the scope body in the preferred viewing position.

Tips for Care and Handling
Protect your spotting scope by keeping it in the
padded view-through case while in use. If the Razor
HD gets wet, be sure to let it dry before packing it
away.
Keeping the lenses clean
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Razor HD:
1. Remove dust or grit with pressurized air, or use a soft
camel hair or optical brush.
2. Fog lenses with your own breath.
3. Wipe off smudges, fingerprints, and eyelash oil with a
non-abrasive cloth, chamois, or silk. Never use facial tissue,
heavy cotton or flannel clothing—these materials can scratch
the lenses!

Choose a dark, well-ventilated place for storage.
Caution: Never look directly into the sun—or any other
intense light—with your Razor HD spotting scope. This could
damage the retina and cornea of your eyes to the point of
causing blindness.
