Bushnell Sentry 18-36x50 Owner's Manual - Page 1

Lit # : 91-0094/03-01 Sentry® Spotting Scope Instructions Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell® Sentry® Spotting Scope, a versatile high-performance spotting scope offering a wide range of terrestrial viewing. The Sentry® Spotting Scope features fully coated prisms and lenses for increased light transmission and image brightness, variable power eyepieces, non-reflective armoring and built-in peep sight (straight-thru models only) for ultra fast precision viewing. Complete with non-reflective tripod. All Bushnell® Sentry® models come with a convenient hard storage case (except for the 45-degree model). MOUNTING Remove the spotting scope and tripod from the hard storage carrying case. Screw the tripod attachment screw into the tripod mount hole located on the base of the spotting scope. Spread the tripod legs and set on a solid surface. FOCUSING The spotting scope is focused with the focus ring. For models with a 50mm objective, the eyepiece will move "in" and "out", depending on the direction the ring is turned. When the tube is all the way "out", the spotting scope is at the closest focus position. MAGNIFICATION To change magnification, grasp and rotate the knurled portion of the eyepiece. It may be necessary to refocus when the magnification is changed. USING THE TRIPOD To pan side to side or up and down, unloosen the tripod control handle by rotating it counterclockwise. To lock into a desired position, rotate the tripod control handle clockwise. SPOTTING SCOPE USE Remove the dust caps. Point the spotting scope as desired (as described under FOCUSING). CAUTION: DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN THROUGH THIS SPOTTING SCOPE AS SEVERE DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES MAY RESULT! CARE The lenses of your spotting scope are 100% hard magnesium fluoride coated for highest light transmission. As with any optical coated, special care must be taken in cleaning the lenses. Moisten the surface of the lens slightly and wipe dry using a circular motion starting at the center of the lens. Wipe or brush off any dirt or dust on the outside of the spotting scope and tripod. CAUTION Never disassemble your spotting scope or tripod. Special tools and equipment are required for service and irreparable damage can result from untrained attempted service. Unauthorized service may also void the warranty.
