GETTING STARTED
Before First Use
Prior to using your Spotting Scope, please read all safety and operating instructions
thoroughly. Please ensure you follow the steps below before using this product.
1. Unpack the product but keep all packaging materials until you have made sure your
new Spotting Scope is undamaged and in good working order.
2. Plastic wrapping can be a suffocation hazard for babies and children so ensure all
packaging materials are kept out of their reach.
3. We recommend you keep the original packaging for storing your Spotting Scope when
not in use.
Setting up the Tripod
The Spotting Scope comes with a tripod which is easy to set up.
Follow the Instructions below for how to set up the tripod.
The tripod has 4 height adjustments; 3 leg height extensions and
the centre pole (vertical) extension.
1. To extend the legs, unclip the leg lock lever and pull the leg
extension out. Press the leg lock lever back into place to secure
the leg into position. Repeat for each leg until the tripod is at
the desired height.
2. To extend the centre pole, turn the vertical extension lock
(screw) anticlockwise until it loosens. Pull the centre pole up
to the desired height, then tighten the vertical extension lock
(screw) clockwise to secure the centre pole into position.
3. Spread the tripod legs (slide the tripod bracket down to the
base of the centre pole) and place the tripod onto a dry, stable
surface (Fig. 1).
NOTE: Always extend the upper leg extension sections rst. Only extend the lower leg
extensions when necessary.
NOTE: Once all the legs are fully extended, if you require more height, you can extend
the centre pole. Refer to the instructions above for how to extend the centre pole.
NOTE: Take care when moving! The tripod bracket does not clip into place and will move
up and down the centre pole when the tripod is lifted or moved.

GETTING STARTED (CONT.)
NOTE: If you are on rocky or uneven terrain, adjust the tripod leg extensions to the
appropriate height to maintain a level position. Use the gradient leveller to check if the
tripod is level.
NOTE: You do not need to extend each leg section fully, once the leg is at the desired
length, press the leg lock lever back into place to secure the leg into position.
CAUTION: The gradient leveller is made of glass and is easily damaged. Take care when
handling the tripod. Do not drop the tripod. Do not place the tripod where it can fall, be
trodden on or damaged in any way.
Mounting the Spotting Scope to the Tripod
The high magnication of your Spotting Scope makes it
very difcult to see clearly through it when just holding
the Spotting Scope in your hand. For this reason, it is
recommended to mount the Spotting Scope onto the
tripod (supplied), whenever you are using it. Follow the
steps below for how to mount the Spotting Scope to
the tripod.
1. Remove your Spotting Scope from the carry case
(included).
2. Align the screw on the mounting plate with the
tripod mount located on the Spotting Scope
mounting head (Fig. 2). Holding the knob located
under the mounting plate with one hand, with the
other hand turn the Spotting Scope clockwise until
it is securely attached to the tripod.
3. The Spotting Scope should be positioned on the
tripod so that the gradient leveller is on the left
hand side (when the objective lens is facing away
from you and the eyepiece is closest to you) of the
Spotting Scope (Fig. 3).

Attaching the Smartphone Holder to the Spotting Scope
You can attach your smartphone to your Spotting Scope
using the smartphone holder (included). This is useful if
you wish to take a photo or record a video of your subject.
Follow the steps below for how to attach the smartphone
holder to the Spotting Scope.
1. Pull the adjustable (sprung) arm out and place your
phone in the smartphone holder so that it sits snugly
and securely. Tighten the screw on the right hand
side, by turning it in a clockwise direction, to secure
your smartphone in the holder (Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).
2. Loosen the screw on the ring of the smartphone
holder. First remove the protective cap from the
eyepiece. Then fold the eyecup (rubber edge) of the
eyepiece down (Fig. 6). Then place the ring over the
eyepiece on the Spotting Scope so that the ridge
on the ring is aligned with the top of the eyepiece.
Tighten the screw on the ring until the smartphone
holder is securely attached to the eyepiece (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Your Spotting Scope comes with a protective
cap that protects the eyepiece from dust and dirt
when not in use and during storage. Always remove
this protective cap before use simply by pulling it off
the top of the eyepiece.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove the rubber edge
from around the eyepiece! This will damage the rubber
edge and affect the use of the Spotting Scope.
3. To adjust the smartphone position, loosen the screw
located on the back of the smartphone holder.
Adjust your smart phone (slide up and down or
rotate sideways) until the phone lens is positioned
in a way where it displays the subject in question, on
your smartphone screen (Fig. 8). Tighten the screw
to secure your smartphone into position.

4. To remove the smartphone holder, simply loosen the screw on the ring of the
smartphone holder and remove from the Spotting Scope.
5. After use, return the eyecup (rubber edge) to the fully extended position to ensure the
rubber edge of the eyecup retains its shape and exibility. Then replace the protective
cap.
NOTE: It is recommended to place your phone in the smartphone holder before
attaching the smartphone holder to the Spotting Scope.
NOTE: It is recommended to remove your smartphone from its protective casing before
placing in the smartphone holder. This will help reduce the weight of your smartphone
and any obstruction of the view.
WARNING: If your smartphone is too heavy, it may cause the Spotting Scope to fall over.
Always hold the Spotting Scope when the smartphone holder (with phone) is attached
to ensure the Spotting Scope does not fall over.
WARNING: The eyepiece should always be in the upright position when attaching and
using the smartphone holder.

Using the Eye Cup and Sunshade
1. If you wear glasses, fold down the rubber edge
of the eyecup to make it easier to view the entire
image (Fig. 10). After use, return the eyecup to the
fully extended position to ensure the rubber of the
eyecup retains its shape and exibility.
2. If the sun is at an angle (to the side) instead of
behind you, there may be some glare affecting
the image quality. To reduce the glare, extend the
sunshade simply by pulling it forward (Fig. 11). Once
you are nished using the sunshade, push it back to
its original position.
NOTE: The sun should ideally be located behind you.
If the sun is at an angle, it is recommended to extend
sunshade to reduce any glare.
WARNING: The sun should never be directly in front
of you. Looking directly into the sun is dangerous and
may cause blindness.
INSTRUCTIONS
Using the Pan Lever
1. To unlock the pan lever, turn the knob located
on the left hand side of the tripod anticlockwise
to loosen. You should now be able to pan the
Spotting Scope (moving to the left or right) a full
360° using the pan lever (Fig. 9).
2. Once the Spotting Scope is facing in the desired
direction, turn the knob clockwise to tighten and
secure (lock) the Spotting Scope into position.
NOTE: Do not remove the screw of the pan lever
lock. Only loosen the screw enough so that the pan
lever can be manoeuvred.
NOTE: Never pan the Spotting Scope with the scope itself. Always use the pan lever to
manoeuvre the Spotting Scope.

To decrease the magnication, turn the zoom ring
clockwise (the lowest magnication is 20x).
2. The focus wheel is located on the Spotting Scope
optical tube (Fig. 13). Turn the focus wheel clockwise
or anticlockwise until the image is sharp and clear.
NOTE: It is recommended to start at the lowest
magnication and locate your subject. Once you
have focused on your subject, slowly increase the
magnication. You may need to adjust the focus as
you zoom in or out, by using the focus wheel.
Adjusting the Position
of the Eyepiece
1. Loosen the screw located on the eyepiece
adjustment belt on the Spotting Scope. Rotate the
Spotting Scope left or right until the Eyepiece is in
the desired position (Fig. 14 and 15).
2. Tighten the screw on the eyepiece adjustment belt to
secure the Spotting Scope into position.
3. If the (open) objective lens cover is interfering with
the view, simply rotate the sunshade located on the
end of the optical tube to adjust the position of the
(open) objective lens cover.
NOTE: The sunshade located on the end of the optical
tube can be rotated to adjust the position of the open
objective lens cover.
WARNING: The eyepiece should always be in the upright
position when attaching and using the smartphone
holder. Never attempt to attach your smartphone to the
eyepiece when it is angled downwards as this may cause

Using the Spotting Scope
The Spotting Scope is a type of telescope that is primarily intended for terrestrial (land)
observation. The Spotting Scope can also be used for casual astronomical observing.
1. Set your Spotting Scope up on the tripod (included). Refer to the instructions on pages
8-9.
2. Remove the small rubber protective cap from the eyepiece and place inside the carry
case. Unclip the large objective lens cover.
3. Use the pan lever to position the Spotting Scope in the desired direction. Refer to the
instructions on page 12 for how to use the pan lever.
4. Start at the lowest magnication (20x) and focus on your subject for sharpness and a
wide eld of view using the focus wheel. Turn the focus wheel until the image is sharp
and clear.
5. Once you have located your subject at low magnication, increase the power of the
magnication by turning the zoom ring anticlockwise. If required, adjust the focus
using the focus wheel, until you have a sharp, clear image.
6. If you wish to take an image or video, refer to the instructions on pages 10-11 for how to
attach your smartphone to the Spotting Scope.
NOTE: When you rst begin using the Spotting Scope, it may take some time getting use
to the angled eyepiece and using the focus and zoom controls. It may take a few times
of using the Spotting Scope until you master the technique. The more you practice the
easier it will become and will eventually become second nature.
NOTE: To locate your subject using the Spotting Scope, start with the lowest
magnication rst for the widest eld of view.
NOTE: Don’t forget, while increasing your power range (zoom), you may also need to
adjust the focus wheel, so the subject will remain in focus.
NOTE: The angled eyepiece is more exposed to the elements such as rain and snow
while using the Spotting Scope outdoors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Problem Solution
I cannot see
through the
Spotting Scope?
• Check the rubber protective cap has been removed from
the eyepiece and that the objective lens cover is unclipped
(open).
• The eyepiece or objective lens may be dirty. Refer to the
cleaning instructions on page 17 for how to clean the
eyepiece and objective lens.
• If you still cannot see through the Spotting Scope, please
contact the After Sales Support line for further advice.
The Spotting Scope
does not t in the
carry case?
• Check that all the accessories have been detached from
the Spotting Scope. If any of the accessories (tripod or
smartphone holder) are still attached to the Spotting
Scope, it will not t into the carry bag.
Can I use the
Spotting Scope in
the rain?
• Yes, your Spotting Scope is water resistant. It is suitable
to be used in outdoor environments in which exposure
to water, such as rain, mist, splashing etc., may occur. It
is only intended to be resistant to accidental exposure to
water and it is not designed for intentional submersion
or extended use in wet environments. Always wipe any
residual water off using a dry, soft cloth, after use.
NOTE: Water on the objective lens will cause images to be
distorted. Wipe the water off the objective lens using the
lens cleaning cloth (supplied) or a soft tissue, for a clearer
image.
The image of the
subject is blurry?
• It is normal for the image of a subject to be less clear at
500m than it is at 100m. For example, the image of more
distant subjects will be degraded by several factors which
include dust, haze, and heat distortion (mirage). These will
all affect the clarity of the image and, reduce your ability
to discern small details at long distances.
• The eyepiece or objective lens may be dirty. Refer to the
cleaning instructions on page 17 for how to clean the
eyepiece and objective lens.
