Set Up your Spotting Scope
Remove the front lens cap covering the refractor objective lens by gently pulling it forward. 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.
