MOUNTING
The ELITE ® Spotting Scope tripod mount provides a convenient means of fastening to any tripod,
car window mount or other stable platform. For best results, mount your ELITE ® Spotting Scope on
a firm support to prevent any movement of the spotting scope. Movement will make the viewed
scene appear to vibrate at high magnification. A firm mount will also help you to locate, track and
keep objects in the field of view.
FOCUSING
The ELITE ® Spotting Scope will focus from 16 feet to infinity at any power. Rotate the focus knob until
you see a precise defined image. The depth of field (the distance over which the image is seen in
sharp focus) and the field of view are greatest at lower powers. With the zoom eyepiece, if the initial
focusing is done at low power, you may find that additional focus adjustment is required as power
is increased.
SIGHTING
Your ELITE ® Spotting Scope is equipped with a "peep sight". Look into the rear aperture located just above the eyepiece. Center the object
of interest in the field of view and look through the eyepiece. Minimum adjustment will be required to center the object when viewed
through the eyepiece.
USE WITH EYEGLASSES
The ELITE ® eyepiece is designed to provide you with the longest practical eye relief possible. (Eye relief is the distance from the eye to the
eyepiece at which a full field of view is seen.) This provides you with the same field of view with or without eyeglasses.The ELITE ® eyepiece
is equipped with a rubber eyeguard to eliminate the possibility of scratching plastic eyeglass lenses.
CHANGING POWER
The variable power zoom eyepiece provides a 20x to 60x power range. To change the magnification grasp the eyepiece body and rotate
the Power Change Ring to the desired power as indicated by the Magnification Ring. As you zoom from low power to high power under
low light conditions, you may notice a decrease in the image brightness. This is normal. As magnification is increased, the amount of light
transmitted to your eye is decreased proportionately.
