Parts
The following parts are included with the spotting scope:
• The spotting scope optical tube.
• Tripod
• Hard and soft carry cases
How to attach the spotting scope to
the tripod:
1. Spread out the tripod legs and place the tripod on a level
surface. Extend the legs to full height, if necessary.
2. Press the quick mount latch forward, as far as it will go, and
hold it open.
3. Lift to remove the quick mount plate out of the tripod base. Let
go of the latch. Lift the wingnut handle on the bottom of the
quick mount plate so that it stands straight out.
4. On the bottom of the optical tube, thread the quick mount plate
bolt into the tube using the wingnut handle to turn the bolt.
Tighten to a firm feel.
5. Reopen the quick mount latch and slide the quick mount plate
(with optical tube attached) into tripod. Let go of the latch.If the
latch does not close, reorient the plate until the plate lies flat
within the tripod base. Hint: The eyepiece end of the optical
tube should be above the bubble level.
Controls
• Focus Knob: Look into the eyepiece and rotate the focus knob
in either direction to focus on an object.
• Zoom: Rotate the zoom control to zoom in or out on an object;
then use the focus knob to refine the focus.
• Moving the tube: Rotate the pan lever counterclockwise to
unlock and move the tube. Rotate the pan lever
clockwise to lock the tube into place.
• Indoor viewing vs. outdoor viewing: Although you may
casually observe through an open or closed window, the best
observing is always done outdoors. Temperature differences
between inside and outside air, and the low quality of window
glass can blur images through the spotting scope.
