Then, remove the lens cap from the zoom eyepiece lens cap. Setting Up the Table Tripod Your spotting scope comes with a table tripod to support it for more stability when viewing. To set up the tripod: • Spread each of the three tripod legs outward until they come to a stop. • Make sure the pan handle is tight (turn clockwise) and that the mounting platform is relatively level. • Place the bottom of the spotting scope on top of the mounting platform where the tripod mounting screw will thread into the 1/4x20 hole in the plate on the bottom of the spotter. Secure the spotting scope by tightening the screw firmly (counterclockwise). • The pan handle controls movement of the spotting scope. Unlocking the pan handle (turn counterclockwise) allows you free movement up/down and left/right and once at the position desired you lock the pan handle. Optional Tripod For extra steady views or for doing photography, it is recommended that you use a medium/heavy duty photo/video tripod. Using the Rubber Eyecup The zoom eyepiece includes a soft rubber eyecup for eyeglass wearers. Fold down the rubber eyecup to observe the full field of view when wearing eyeglasses. If you do not wear eyeglasses, leave the rubber eyecup in the up position. Before Looking Through Your Spotting Scope - A Word of Caution! Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your spotting scope. Permanent eye damage may result. 2
