the focusing ring to see your target up close.

knob in the counter-clockwise direction to allow
rotation of the optical tube. Tighten this knob
when the eyepiece is in the preferred position.

zoom eyepiece in place for stable image quality.

ASSEMBLY

The 20-60x60mm spotting scope comes separated
from the tripod for easy storage and increased
portability. The optical tube is packed in its carry bag
which provides a convenient way to transport and
protect the spotting scope when not in use.
To assemble the optical tube & tripod, place the
optical tube onto the tripod as shown in the image.
The front 60mm lens should be placed opposite the
pan-handle. Tighten the Tripod Mount Lock Knob
into the base of the Tube Mounting Ring until secure.
