Congratulations on the acquisition of your new CONQUEST®GAVIA 85 by ZEISS.
Enjoy the memorable experience of realistic image reproduction featuring extreme
brightness and the finest reproduction of detail.
ZEISS brand products are synonymous with outstanding optical performance, precise
processing, and long service life.
To ensure that you get the best use from your spotting scope and can rely on it for
many years to come, please observe the following instructions for use.
INFORMATION FOR YOUR SAFETY
Environmental influences
• Never look directly into the sun or laser light sources with the spotting scope, as
this can result in severe damage to your eyes.
• Do not expose the device to the sun for longer periods of time without a protec-
tive cover. The objective lens and the eyepiece can act as a magnifying glass and
damage the inner components.
• Do not drop the device and avoid direct impact to it.
• Avoid touching the metal surface after solar radiation or cold.
Choking hazard
• Keep the removable exterior parts of the device out of the reach of children
(choking hazard).
• Allow only authorized workshops or employees of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics GmbH
to perform repairs. Allowing the device to be repaired by unauthorized workshops
or opening it improperly will render the warranty void.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Inserting and removing the eyepiece
Remove the protective cap from the eyepiece (A) and the protective bayonet cover
from the spotting scope. To insert the eyepiece, the white dot on the eyepiece
(H) must align with the white dot on the eyepiece holder of the spotting scope (I).
Make sure that the safety ring (S) on the spotting scope is located on the left stop
by turning it to the left. Now insert the eyepiece and turn it to the right (clockwise)
until it stops. Next turn the safety ring (S) on the spotting scope to the right to the
secured stop position.
To remove the eyepiece, first turn the safety ring (S) on the spotting scope until it
stops. Now turn the eyepiece to the left (counterclockwise) until it stops. Pull the
eyepiece gently out to remove it.
Tripod mounting
Because of the high magnification, observation without a tripod is not recommended.
The tripod shoe of the ZEISS CONQUEST GAVIA 85 (F) has 3/8" and 1/4" threading
(via integrated threaded insert) that allows the ZEISS CONQUEST GAVIA 85 to be
mounted onto all conventional tripods. But the tripod shoe of the ZEISS CONQUEST
85 fits directly onto all tripod heads except for the standard plate 200PL.
The tripod ring (C) on your ZEISS CONQUEST GAVIA 85 enables you to turn the
spotting scope around the lengthways axis, so that you can change the viewing
direction of the angled eyepiece where required. To do this, release the clamping
screw (K) on the tripod holder (turn counterclockwise) and then turn the spotting
scope in the desired direction. The best locking is achieved in the locking positions
that are available every 45°.
Observation with and without glasses
For observation without glasses, use the eyepiece with the eyecup (G) unscrewed.
To unscrew the eyecup, turn it to the left.
Cleaning and changing the eyecup
The eyecup can be unscrewed completely for cleaning or changing. Unscrew the
eyecup until it stops and continue through the threading in the same direction. To
put it back, follow the reverse order.
Focusing
The ZEISS CONQUEST GAVIA 85 has a focus ring (B) that you can use to focus your
image depending on the distance. Turn it to the left to focus towards infinity and to
the right towards close range.
Sun shield
The sun shield (E) keeps bright sunlight out and at the same time protects from the
rain. The direction finder (D) on the lens hood makes it easier to focus on an object.
CARE AND STORAGE
The ZEISS CONQUEST GAVIA 85 does not need special care. Do not wipe off coarse
dirt particles (e.g. sand) from the lenses, rather blow them away or use a fine brush
to remove them. Fingerprints can affect the surfaces after a while. The easiest way
to clean optical surfaces is to breath on them and rub them softly with a clean lens
cleaning cloth.
Storing in a dry place with good ventilation will help prevent fungus from forming
on the lens.
Eveready cases, which are available as an accessory, are particularly well suited for
storage and transport.
SPARE PARTS
Should you require spare parts for your spotting scope, e.g. a protective cover, please
contact your specialist retailer or our after-sales service. You can find the after-sales
