WARNING: The mounted Videoscope should never be used as a substitute
for a standard video or still camera, as it may result in your inadvertently
pointing the gun at another person. Before using the Videoscope, always
remember that all rearm safety precautions apply when it is mounted on a
rearm. Please read the safety instructions for your rearm before installing
and using the Videoscope. When handling rearms, always keep the muzzle
pointed in a safe direction. Always treat your rearm as if it were loaded. For
your safety and others, you must remove the Videoscope from your rearm
before playing back or downloading the stored videos. Please be responsible
and join Bushnell in supporting and following safe, responsible hunting and
shooting sport guidelines and practices at all times.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Bushnell®Videoscope™! The unique Videoscope
digital video camera mounts right onto your riescope, allowing you to capture high quality
videos (with audio) of the highlights from your hunting trips, simply by pressing the record
button before taking aim at your target. Up to 30 minutes of high quality video can be held
in the Videoscope’s internal memory, ready for instant playback on the onboard 1.5” color
TFT-LCD, or downloading to your computer (compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista or
Mac OS X). The videos remain safely stored in the camera’s memory when it’s turned off,
or you can delete and replace them with new videos, as often as you like -without the need
to purchase a special memory card, or a video tape that could become worn or broken.
Before using your new Videoscope, please read the instructions contained in this manual
and take time to familiarize yourself with the camera’s operation and features.
Warning: Use care during handling to avoid touching the camera lens
to prevent degrading the image quality. Clean the camera lens only with
dry lens tissue or microfiber cloth. DO NOT use liquids of any type.

CHARGING THE VIDEOSCOPE
The Videoscope is powered by an internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Before using
the Videoscope for the rst time, it needs to be charged for approximately 10 hours (future
charge times should be shorter).
1. Plug the supplied USB cable into the AC Adapter (using the large, standard rectangular USB
plug), then insert the other end of the cable into the USB Port on the side of the Videoscope.
2. Plug the AC Adapter into a wall outlet. The Status LED on top of the Videoscope will glow
red, turning green when the battery is fully charged (the light on the AC adapter is just a power
indicator and will remain red). You may want to simply let the battery charge overnight-it will
not overcharge if left plugged in for longer than 10 hours. Note: A 12v DC car lighter plug is
also supplied for convenient recharging in the eld; however the initial full charge should be
done using an AC outlet. The car lighter plug is best used for restoring the battery to full charge
when it is becoming low, or only partly discharged.
3. The AC adapter can then be unplugged, and the USB cord removed from the Videoscope.

MOUNTING THE VIDEOSCOPE
Mount the Videoscope on your riescope using the provided mounting hardware (see Fig. 1).
1. Slide one of the supplied mounting brackets (Fig. 1-A) onto the front of the mounting rail
(end closest to the lens) at the bottom of the Videoscope, moving it all the way down to the
display end of the rail until it stops (Fig. 2).
2. Insert one of the long allen head bolts (Fig. 1-B) through the hole in the side of the bracket,
then use the provided allen wrench (Fig. 1-E) to tighten the bolt into the threaded hole at the
other side of the bracket until the bracket can no longer be moved along the rail.
3. Repeat this process with the other mounting bracket, determining the position for this front
bracket by holding the Videoscope in place over the top of your riescope, moving the front
bracket back and forth on the rail until you nd a position that will not interfere with the
mounting rings which attach your riescope to your rearm. You may want to put the bolt
through the bracket rst, and tighten it just enough so that the bracket doesn’t fall off the rail,
but can still be slid freely along the rail. Once you nd the best position for the front bracket,
tighten it fully onto the rail (Fig. 3).
4. Slip the “U” shaped half-rings (Fig. 1-C) under your riescope so they are located below the
bottom of the Videoscope’s mounting brackets, and insert the supplied short bolts (Fig. 1-D)
through the top holes on the bracket into the half-rings, then tighten them until the Videoscope
is securely mounted onto the riescope tube (Fig 4). In a few unusual cases, you may nd it
necessary to temporarily remove the riescope from the rearm, attach the Videoscope brackets
to the riescope rst, then remount the riescope back onto the rearm.

5. Once this mounting process has been completed, the Videoscope can be removed to view or
download the videos on your computer, or to recharge the battery, by simply loosening the two
side (long) allen bolts slightly so that the Videoscope can be slid out of the mounting brackets
(which can remain in place on your riescope).

RECORDING A VIDEO
1. Turn on the Videoscope, by pressing and holding the Power button until the green
status LED light and the LCD display screen comes on.
2. Before beginning a new recording, check the battery indicator icon at the top of the
display to make sure you have a fully or at least partly charged battery. You may want
to set the date and time using the Menu options (see “Using the Video Menu”), as this
information is stored in the “le properties” of each video you shoot. The date/time
will not need to be reset unless the battery becomes completely discharged.
3. The display will show a “live” preview of the image from the camera lens. To begin
a video recording, simply press the Record button. The display will indicate that you
are recording (red video camera icon appears) and a counter showing the elapsed time
since the recording began will be visible at the top of the display.
4. Press the Record button again to stop recording. You may stop and start as often as
you like, recording videos of various lengths, until the memory is full. The memory
will hold a maximum of approximately 30 minutes of video-you are free to record one
long half hour video or any quantity of shorter videos-each time a new recording is
started then stopped, it will be saved in the internal memory as a separate video le
(.avi format).
5. To turn off the power, press and release the Power button-the display and the status
LED will go out and no power will be drawn from the internal battery.
