Vortex NOMAD Manual page 3

Adjustable 20–60x zoom eyepiece
The Nomad features a versatile 20–60x eyepiece that
brings distant details into
view. Refocusing is normally
required when you change the
magnification.
1. Increase magnification by turning the
adjustment ring to the right (clockwise).
2. Decrease magnification by turning the
adjustment ring to the left (counter-clockwise).
Focusing the eyepiece
Focus the Nomad by slowly
rotating the focus knob until
you see a sharp, clear image
through the eyepiece.
Extendable sunshade
This fitted lens hood acts as an effective shield against stray
light. It also helps keep the objective lens free of soiling
caused by raindrops or
fingerprints.

Caring for the Lenses
Maintain the optical brilliance of the Nomad by keeping
the lens surfaces free of dirt, dust, and oils.
Protect Lenses While Out in the Field.
Make use of the lens covers and
view-through case to protect the
lenses when not viewing.
Keep Lenses Clean.
Along with normal use comes the need to clean the spotting
scope lenses. Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
1. Remove any dust or grit from lenses before wiping.
Use a can of pressurized air or soft camel hair brush
(acrylic optical brushes also work well).
2. Clear lens of smudges, fingerprints, or eyelash oil.
Fog the lenses with your own breath and wipe with the
non-abrasive lens cloth included with the Nomad spotting
scope.
Other cleaning options:
Cleaning fluid and optical paper can also be used. However, you
should never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel clothing
on lenses—these materials can scratch the lens surfaces.
