ASSEMBLY
MAGNIFICATION
USE 2x BARLOW

Always keep your eyepiece lens in the pouch. Use lens cloth or
soft and lintless cloth when cleaning or wiping the lenses. Never
attempt to clean the telescope internally or take it apart.
Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations likely to cause any
dampness in the air to condense on the telescope's lens.
If this phenomenon occurs, place the lens at a moderate distance
away from a heat source and let the dampness evaporate away
progressively.
Warning: To avoid any eye injury never look directly into another
optical instrument through the telescope and never observe the
sun with unprotected eyes!
This product is designed and intended for ages 13 years and older.
