Operation
Remove the objective and ocular lens cap
The lens and eyepiece are protected against dirt and damage by caps. The caps can be pushed to the side (without opening the press studs) when making observations. Alternatively, you can open one of the press studs, move the caps to the side of the body and then close the press stud again.,
Remove the protective cover for the bayonet from the bayonet lock
To fit the eyepiece, pull out the extendable tube. To remove the cover, slide the locking mechanism of the eyepiece downward and turn the protective cover to the left (anti-clockwise).
Attachment of the eyepiece
• Remove the protective cap for the bayonet from the eyepiece by screwing it to the left (anti-clockwise).
• The protective cap for the eyepiece is attached to the eyepiece with a cord. By loosening the screw on the eyepiece with a screwdriver, you can remove the cord with the cap from the eyepiece. Please reinsert the screw.
• Align the marking on the eyepiece with the marking on the bayonet fitting.
• Insert the eyepiece and turn it to the right (clockwise) until the locking mechanism of the body clicks into the eyepiece.
Detachment of the eyepiece
To remove the eyepiece, press the locking mechanism of the body downward and turn the eyepiece to the left (anti-clockwise) until it can be removed.
Extend for use
Hold the body and the ocular of the extendable spotting scope firmly.
Then pull outwards until the two extensions reach their stopping point.
Use of the zoom eyepiece (e.g. 20-60x)
To change magnification: Turning the adjustment ring to the right (clockwise) decreases magnification (down to 20x). Turning it to the left increases the magnification (up to 60x). You will be able to read the magnification above the index point.
Focusing of image
The focusing will be done by turning the adjustment ring for focusing. Both the extension tube and eyepiece are rotating with the ring.
On the extension tube you find a scale for the estimation of distance. This scale is designed for easy focusing.
In order to reach best possible focusing, please proceed as follows:
- Turn the ocular for focusing completely to the left (anti-clockwise).
- Now turn the ocular to the right (clockwise) until you reach sharpest image.
- When using the variable 20-60x eyepiece, the focusing should be made with the highest magnification.
Adjustment of the screw-in-type eye cup
Use without eyeglasses:
Turn the eye cup anticlockwise until it stops.
Use with eyeglasses:
Turn the eye cup clockwise until it stops.
Mounting the spotting scope on the tripod
The tripod base has a connecting thread of 3/8˝ UNC. The inserted bush reduces the connecting thread to 1/4˝. The observation telescope thus fits on any standard tripod.
After use of the spotting scope
- Close it until stop.
- Close the lens cap and eyepiece cap again.
- In order to protect the cover glass in the bayonet fitting, leave the eyepiece mounted and protect it by putting on its protective cap or close the bayonet fitting with the cover provided for this purpose.
Maintenance and care
Lens-cleaning cloth
You can clean high sensitive lens surfaces with the enclosed special cloth made of micro-fibres. It is suitable for objective lens, ocular lens and eyeglasses.
Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth gets dirty, it can be washed in luke-warm soapy water and air-dried. Please use it exclusively for cleaning lens surfaces!
Cleaning
On account of the functional principle of all extendable spotting scopes from any manufacturer, an exten-dable spotting scope never can be tight. When pulling out, air must enter into the instrument. A built-in filter protects the interior against dirt. When closing the instrument, particular attention should be paid that possibly no dirt or humidity will remain on the extension tubes
This assists the cleaning function of the built-in sealing rings. Despite these precautions, the interior may show, after long year of use, dirt on the optical surface. For such rare cases, Swarovski Optik is providing a cleaning service.
With large temperature changes, the objective may show – when pulling out the spotting scope – some condensation on the inside surface. Normally, such a condensation should disappear after a short while. If not, it is recommendable to pull out/ push in the spotting scope several times at normal room temperature.
This will make the condensation to disappear. If not, please consider this to be a hint for a necessary cleaning service as aforementioned.
We have designed all elements and surfaces to require little care. To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your spotting scope, you should keep the glass surfaces free of dirt, oil and grease. When cleaning the lenses, first remove larger particles with an optical lens brush. For the subsequent thorough cleaning we recommend breathing onto the lens surface to form a coat of condensation and then cleaning it with a soft, moist cloth.
The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist cloth (don’t use the lens-cleaning cloth). Please do not oil the extension tubes.
In the event of hard-to-remove dirt (e.g. sand) the eye cups can be unscrewed and cleaned very easily.
Treatment when wet
If the spotting scope becomes wet, dry the extendable tube with a cloth. Leave to dry in its extended position and with the caps on the stayon case open. If necessary, the entire stay-on case should be removed to help the spotting scope dry out.
Removal of the stay-on case
As the stay-on case size is perfectly sized to fit your telescope a slight adherenteffect between the stay-on case and the extendable telescope may occur through time. Removing the stay-on case can best be achieved by holding the telescope with one hand and pushing the extendable telescope from the eyepiece side forwards out of the stay-on case.
