Operation

Before Use

Attach your spotting scope to a sturdy tripod before viewing to achieve clear, sharp images.

Eye Cup Adjustment

Use without eyeglasses: turn the eyecup anticlockwise until it stops.

Use with eyeglasses: turn the eyecup clockwise until it stops.

Sliding Sunshade

If you experience glare or lens flare due to the angle and direction of the sun extend the sunshade. A sighting guide is moulded into the lens shade rubber to aid in locating your subject and bringing it into the field of view. The location of the sighting guide can be changed by simply rotating the lens shade.

Changing the Magnification

Increase magnification by turning the adjustment ring to the left (anticlockwise)

Decrease magnification by turning the adjustment ring to the right (clockwise)

Focusing

The Highlander spotting scope features a dual focus system that includes a main and a fine focus. To focus the spotting scope, slowly rotate the main focus knob until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp. For fine adjustment slowly rotate the fine focus knob until the image in the eyepiece is clear and sharp.

Waterproof and Fogproof

The spotting scope is O-ring sealed for complete moisture protection and filled with dry nitrogen gas to prevent the housing from fogging internally.

Maintenance & Care

Cleaning

Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft lens brush. To remove any dirt or finger prints, clean with the supplied micro-fibre cloth rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and will eventually cause permanent damage. The included washable microfiber cleaning cloth is ideal for routine cleaning. Simply breathe lightly on the lens to provide a slight amount of moisture, then gently rub the lens with the microfiber cloth. For a more thorough cleaning we recommend the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available at most photo or optical shops. Additionally photographic lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth - never directly on the lens.

The housing is best cleansed with a soft, moist cloth (don't use the lens-cleaning cloth).

Storage

Please protect your spotting scope from jolts and jars and do not force any of the moving parts beyond their limits. Protect the optics of your spotting scope by applying all lens caps when not in use.

You should also store your spotting scope in a well-ventilated and dark place. A wet spotting scope should be dried before storage.

When storing for an extended period of time, place the spotting scope in a plastic bag or airtight container with a desiccant.
