SOLAR WARNING
Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with your spotting scope. Permanent eye damage may result.
BEFORE OBSERVING
Attach your spotting scope to a photo/video tripod before trying to observe as the size and power of the spotting scope requires a
solid tripod to be able to see sharp and steady views. For the Ultima 100 models, a Tripod Balancing Platform should be installed
for optimum balancing on a tripod (see information below). Make sure to remove the lens cap prior to observing. You can use the
sight tube to locate the object you want to look at and then look through the eyepiece.
USING THE RUBBER EYECUP
The zoom eyepiece includes a soft rubber eyecup. Fold down the rubber
eyecups to observe the full field of view when wearing eyeglasses. If you
do not use eyeglasses, leave the rubber eyecup in the up position.
FOCUSING
To focus, slowly rotate the focus knob until the image in the eyepiece is
clear and sharp. Refocusing is usually required if the power is changed.
If you feel the focus knob no longer moves any further (in either direction),
then you have reached the end of the travel range—don't try to force it to
go further. Instead, refocus by turning in the opposite direction. Once an
image is in focus, turn the knob clockwise to focus on a closer object and
counterclockwise for a more distant object.
CHANGING THE MAGNIFICATION (POWER)
Rotate the magnification ring around the zoom eyepiece to change the
power level of the spotting scope. Refocus as needed. The brightest and
widest field of view will always be at the lowest power.
