Congratulations on your new spotting scope. It has an exclusive
lens made of ED glass. This improves colour veracity, contrast and
focus to far above the normal lens standard. Lenses of ED (Extra
low Dispersion) glass are made using a very costly process and
reduce the secondary colour spectrum to a minimum.
Your spotting scope also has top-quality FMC coating. The main
tube is waterproof and filled with nitrogen.

Setting up the spotting scope
Ideally the spotting scope should be on a tripod of suitable
load-bearing capacity (obtainable as a Bresser accessory). Your
spotting scope has a tripod thread to DIN standard (5). It can there-
fore be attached to any tripod with a DIN standard thread.

Important:
Remove the protective caps from the main tube and eyepiece.
Make sure they are reinserted after every use.
Handling
If no tripod is available place the spotting scope on a secure, clean
horizontal surface.
A ground tripod is ideal (optional, appropriately rugged, load limit 4
kgs). Make sure the tripod is horizontal. Connect tripod and adap-
tor plate using the tripod thread connection and fix your spotting
scope in place on the ground tripod. (Adhere to the tripod operat-
ing instructions.)
Operation
First remove the lens cover (screw) and pull the sun visor carefully
out to its full extent. Then remove the lens cap. Turn the zoom lens
to the smallest (16x) or (20x) magnification
Move the main tube (horizontally)
Your spotting scope has a tube clamp (mobile centre ring) with fas-
tening screw. Turn that screw counter-clockwise to undo the main
tube clamp. You can then turn the tube about its own axis. The
desired viewing position can thus be set. To fix the main tube in
place turn the fastening screw clockwise.
