INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Inserting and removing the eyepiece
Remove the protective cap from the eyepiece and the protective bayonet cover from the spotting scope.
Left: To insert the eyepiece (1) into the eyepiece socket (2), the eyepiece must be turned by 45° using the safety knob (3), as pictured. To lock, turn the eyepiece clockwise until the safety knob (3) clicks into place.
Right: To remove the eyepiece, pull the safety knob (3) upwards and turn the eyepiece anti-clockwise. You can remove the eyepiece by gently pulling it out.
Tripod mounting
Because of the high magnification, observation without a tripod is not recommended.
Above: The tripod shoe of the ZEISS Victory Harpia (4) has 3/8" and 1/4" threading (via integrated threaded insert) that allows the ZEISS Victory Harpia to be mounted onto all conventional tripods. But the tripod shoe of the ZEISS Victory Harpia fits directly onto all tripod heads except for the standard plate 200PL.
Below: The tripod ring (5) on your ZEISS Victory Harpia enables you to turn the spotting scope around the lengthways axis, so that you can change the viewing direction of the angled eyepiece where required. To do this, release the clamping screw (6) on the tripod holder (turn counterclockwise) and then turn the spotting scope in the desired direction. The best locking is achieved in the locking positions that are available every 45°.
Observation with and without glasses
For observation without glasses, use the eyepiece with the eyecup (7) unscrewed. To unscrew the eyecup, turn it to the left.
Cleaning and changing the eyecup
The eyecup can be unscrewed completely for cleaning or changing. Unscrew the eyecup (7) until it stops and continue through the threading in the same direction. To put it back, follow the reverse order.
Focusing
The ZEISS Victory Harpia has a focus ring (8) that you can use to focus your image depending on the distance.
The innovative Dual Speed Focusing DSF makes focusing possible at variable speed without changing your grip. The switch-over is carried out automatically by a reliable precision mechanism, which functions excellently even at low temperatures. As long as you turn the focusing constantly in one direction, fast focusing is primarily activated. Always focus slightly beyond the optimal focus point with fast focusing. As soon as the turning direction is changed, fine focusing is activated, offering precise sharp focusing on the finest details. Once you become familiar with it, you will observe how the DSF intuitively enables quick and precise focusing.
Note: When switching, you will notice that the fine focus adjusts more easily than the quick focus.
Changing the magnification
All magnifications, from the lowest to highest magnification level, allow infinitely variable setting. Zoom in or out by turning the adjustment ring (9). The magnification levels are marked by numbers and markings.
Sun shield
The sun shield (10) keeps bright sunlight out and at the same time protects from the rain. The direction finder (11) on the lens hood makes it easier to focus on an object.

CARE AND STORAGE
The ZEISS Victory Harpia does not need special care. Do not wipe off coarse dirt particles (e.g. sand) from the lenses, rather blow them away or use a fine brush to remove them. Fingerprints can affect the surfaces after a while. The easiest way to clean optical surfaces is to breath on them and rub them softly with a clean lens cleaning cloth.
Storing in a dry place with good ventilation will help prevent fungus from forming on the lens.
Eveready cases, which are available as an accessory, are particularly well suited for storage and transport.
