TRIPOD MOUNTING
After setting up your tripod on a stable, level surface, fasten the scope's mounting base to the screw on the
tripod's platform, so that the scope is held securely in place (see "Using the Mini Tripod" on the next page if you
are using the included tripod). The scope has a rotating tripod mounting collar. Loosen the tripod collar knob,
then twist the scope to the desired position (for example, you may prefer to position the focus knob off to one
side instead of on top), then tighten the knob back clockwise to secure the scope in place.
USING the ZOOM EYEPIECE and FOCUSING
Remove the tethered objective lens cap before viewing by pulling the tab at the top of the cap out and
letting the cap hang down. While looking through the scope, rotate the zoom ring on the eyepiece to adjust
magnifying power from low to high. Lower power settings will provide a brighter image with a wider field of
view; higher powers allow observing smaller details on more distant subjects. To reduce the need to readjust
focus when zooming, set the zoom to its highest power (45x or 60x depending on your model) and focus on
your subject. When you zoom back down a lower power, it will stay in focus. If you don't wear eyeglasses, twist
the eyecup at the end of the eyepiece counter-clockwise until the eyecup is in a position which allows you to
view the full image. To retract the eyecup back down, twist it in a clockwise direction. Note: the NatureView
scope's zoom eyepiece is not interchangeable. Do not attempt to remove it from the scope.
WATERPROOF / FOGPROOF
Your Bushnell NatureView spotting scope has been designed and built utilizing the latest waterproof and
fogproof technology. The scope is O-ring sealed for complete moisture protection. Fogproof protection is
achieved from dry nitrogen purging that removes all internal air which can retain moisture.
