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 o to one side instead of on top), then
tighten the knob back clockwise in the“Lock” direction.
USINGtheZOOMEYEPIECEandFOCUSING
Remove the protective zoom eyepiece cover by unscrewing it (counter-clockwise), and remove
the objective lens cap by squeezing the release tabs inward. Rotate the zoom ring on the eyepiece
to adjust magnifying power from low (18x) to high (36x). Lower power settings will provide a
brighter image with a wider eld 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 and focus on your subject. When you zoom back down a lower power, it will stay in focus.
Note: the zoom eyepiece is not interchangeable. Do not attempt to remove it from the scope.
WATERPROOF/FOGPROOF
Your Bushnell Sentry 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.

USINGtheMINITRIPOD
• Unfold the legs fully and set the tripod on
a stable, level surface such as a table or the
ground.
• Attach the scope by lining up the screw at
the top of the tripod with the 1/4”-20 socket
on the bottom of the scope’s tripod mounting
base, then turning the knob on the tripod until
the scope is securely attached to the tripod (do
not overtighten).
• To tilt or rotate (pan) the tripod head/attached
scope, twist the pan handle counter-clockwise,
move the head/scope to the desired position,
then tighten the pan handle (clockwise) to
hold it in place.
USINGtheSLIDINGSUNSHADE
If you experience glare or lens are due to the
angle and direction of the sun relative to the front
lens, pull the sun shade out to extend it.

CLEANING
The lenses of your Sentry spotting scope are multi-coated for highest light transmission. As with
any multi-coated optics, special care must be taken in cleaning the lenses. Follow these steps for
proper lens cleaning:
• Blow away any dust or debris on the lens (or use a soft lens brush).
• To remove dirt or nger prints, clean with the supplied micro-ber cloth rubbing in a circular
motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and
eventually cause permanent damage. The included washable microber cleaning cloth is
ideal for the routine cleaning of your optics. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a
slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microber cloth.
• For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning
uid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the uid to the cleaning cloth – never
directly on the lens.
GENERALCAREandCAUTIONS
Never disassemble your spotting scope. Irreparable damage can result from unauthorized
service attempts, which also void the warranty.
NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUNWITH YOUR SCOPE
AS IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGETO YOUR EYES

MONTAGEDUTRÉPIED
Après avoir installé votre trépied sur une surface stable et plane, xez la platine de montage de la lunette à
la vis située sur le support du trépied de façon à bien maintenir la lunette en place (voir « Utilisation du mini-
trépied » à la page suivante si vous utilisez le trépied inclus). La lunette est équipée d’un collier de xation rotatif
prévu à cet eet. Desserrez la molette du collier du trépied puis tournez la lunette jusqu’à la position désirée
(par exemple, vous pouvez placer la molette de mise au point sur le côté et non sur la partie supérieure si
vous le souhaitez), puis resserrez la molette dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre pour verrouiller le trépied.
UTILISATIONdeL’OCULAIREZOOMetdelaMISEAUPOINT
Retirez le couvercle protecteur de l’oculaire zoom en le dévissant dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une
montre, puis ôtez le capuchon de l’objectif en exerçant une pression sur les languettes d’ouverture.Tournez la
bague de zoom située sur l’oculaire an de diminuer ou d’augmenter la puissance de grossissement (de 18x
à 36x). Les réglages pour grossissement faible permettent une image plus lumineuse avec une profondeur de
champ plus grande, tandis que les réglages pour grossissement fort permettent d’observer des détails plus
petits sur des sujets plus éloignés. Pour réduire la nécessité de refaire la mise au point lors de l’utilisation du
zoom, réglez le zoom sur son grossissement maximal, puis mettez au point sur votre sujet. La mise au point
est conservée lorsque vous réduisez le zoom pour un grossissement plus faible. Remarque : le zoom n’est pas
interchangeable. Ne tentez pas de le retirer de la lunette terrestre.
ÉTANCHE/ANTIBUÉE
Votre lunette terrestre Bushnell Sentry a été conçue et construite en utilisant la toute dernière technologie
en matière d’étanchéité et de protection antibuée. Un joint torique assure l’étanchéité de l’appareil et ore
une protection complète contre l’humidité. Un système de purge au nitrogène sec éliminant l’air interne et
pouvant retenir l’humidité assure la protection antibuée.
