Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell®spotting scope,
a versatile high-performance spotting scope offering a wide range
of terrestrial viewing.
MOUNTING THE SCOPE AND SETTING UP THE TRIPOD
Remove the spotting scope from its case. Spread out the tripod
legs and place the tripod on a level surface. To extend the legs to
the desired height, open a leg lock lever, pull the leg section out,
then close the leg lever back down to lock the leg position. The
tripod will be more stable if you extend the upper sections of the
legs first, then use the lower leg sections as well if necessary. Once
all the leg sections are fully extended, if you need more height,
extend the center column as well. To do this, loosen the elevation
height lock, turn the elevation crank handle, then retighten the
height lock. Press the quick mount latch forward as far as it will go
and hold it open. Lift the quick mount plate to remove it out of
the mounting platform, then release the latch. Lift the wingnut
handle on the bottom of the quick mount plate so that it stands
straight out. Attach the quick mount plate bolt into the scope
using the wingnut handle to turn the bolt until it is secure, but do
not overtighten. Press the quick mount latch again and slide the
quick mount plate (with scope attached) onto the tripod. Let go of
the latch. If the latch does not close, reorient the plate until the
plate lies flat within the tripod base.
CHANGING MAGNIFICATION
Grasp and rotate the zoom ring located at the base of the
eyepiece to change the scope's magnifying power. When rotating
this ring, the image appears to zoom in and out. It may be
necessary to re-focus after the magnification has been changed.
FOCUSING
Rotate the focus knob located on the right side of the scope's
body, in front of the eyepiece. By turning this adjustment, the
image will sharpen until in focus.
SETUP and OPERATION

OPERATION, CARE and CAUTIONS
USING THE PAN ARM TO MOVE THE SCOPE
To pan the scope side to side or up and down, first loosen the side
and/or vertical lock. Then unlock the pan arm by rotating it
counterclockwise and use it to move the scope as desired. To lock
the scope in place, rotate the pan arm clockwise and tighten the
side/vertical locks.
USING THE EYECUP AND SUNSHADE
If you wear eyeglasses, fold down the rubber eyecup if you have
difficulty seeing the entire image. If the sun is at an angle to the
scope rather than behind you, glare may be a problem, causing
reduced image quality. If so, extend the sunshade out past the end
of the scope.
CARE
The optics of your spotting scope are treated with special anti-
reflective coatings for increased light transmission. As with any
coated optics, special care must be taken in cleaning the lenses.
Moisten the surface of the lens slightly and wipe dry using a
circular motion starting at the center of the lens. Wipe or brush off
any dirt or dust on the outside of the spotting scope.
CAUTION
Never disassemble your spotting scope. Special tools and
equipment are required for service and irreparable damage can
result from repair attempts by untrained persons. Unauthorized
service may also void the warranty.
CAUTION: DO NOT LOOK AT OR NEAR THE SUN
THROUGH THIS SPOTTING SCOPE, AS SEVERE
DAMAGE TO YOUR EYES MAY RESULT !
