Frequently Asked Questions - STC 1740x56 SWAROVSKI OPTIK

How do I mount the spotting scope on a tripod?

Use the 3/8'' UNC threaded connection located under the spotting scope. A reducing ring allows switching to 1/4'' UNC for standard tripod heads. Attach the adapter plate if necessary.

Can I use the spotting scope without a tripod?

Yes, thanks to the removable half-case provided. Attach it with the fixing screw on the thread. You can then hold the instrument freehand or place it on a support (e.g., a backpack).

How do I adjust the focus?

Turn the focusing ring to the right for distant objects, to the left for close objects. For a sharp image without strain, slightly overshoot then come back.

How do I adjust the magnification?

Turn the zoom adjustment ring to the right to increase magnification (up to 40x) and to the left to decrease it (down to 17x). An indicator shows the current magnification.

How do I clean the lenses?

First use a brush to remove large particles, then gently blow. Then wipe with the provided microfiber cloth. Do not touch the glass with your fingers.

How do I store the spotting scope?

Store it in a dry, well-ventilated and dark place. If it is damp, dry it first. In tropical regions, place it in an airtight container with a moisture absorbent (silica gel).

Can I observe the sun with this spotting scope?

No, absolutely not. Never look directly at the sun through the instrument, as this may cause irreversible eye damage.

What is the warranty?

Swarovski Optik offers a 10-year international warranty from the date of purchase, covering material and manufacturing defects. The first 5 years include labor. The warranty card must be signed and stamped by the dealer.

Can I repair the instrument myself?

No, repairs must be carried out only by SWAROVSKI OPTIK Absam (Austria) or SWAROVSKI OPTIK North America. Any unauthorized intervention voids the warranty.

How do I attach the shoulder strap?

Pass the loop of the strap through the attachment point on the spotting scope, then tighten. For the other side, open the attachment mechanism, pass the loop through and close. The eyepiece cap can be attached to the strap.

The objective lens cover is mounted when the instrument is delivered. The side carrying strap can be attached quickly and easily when required. To attach the side carrying strap to the ATC/STC, hold the side that does not have the click fastener and feed the loop through the loop holder [1+2].

2.3 MOUNTING ON THE TRIPOD HEAD

The ATC/STC has a 38 " UNC connection thread. The bush that has been inserted reduces the thread to 14 " UNC. The thread can therefore be used to mount an adapter plate and the spotting scope is compatible with all common tripod heads.

2.4 USE WITHOUT A TRIPOD

For use without a tripod, a detachable half shell is supplied. This can be attached using the locking screw provided and the connection thread.

Step 1: Remove the bush from the connection thread in the spotting scope.

Step 2: Remove the O-ring [black ring] supplied to protect the locking screw during transport.

Step 3: Secure the half shell to the bottom of the spotting scope using the locking screw.

The sporting scope and half shell can be used either hands-free or supported, for example, on a backpack. The protective half shell allows both the focusing ring and the magnification adjustment ring to be rotated by 360° when placed on a surface.

For use without glasses: unscrew the twist in eyecup (counter-clockwise) as far as it will go.

For use with glasses: screw in the twist-in eyecup (clockwise) as far as it will go.

ATC/STC / DNATC/STC / CN

Practical tip for eyeglass wearers: the special SWAROVSKI OPTIK eyecups, available from selected retailers, offer additional viewing comfort.

2.6 ADJUSTING THE FOCUS

• For distant objects, turn the focusing adjustment ring to the right (clockwise).
• Turning the adjustment ring to the left [counterclockwise] allows you to observe objects from a close distance.
• For effortless observation, turn the focusing adjustment ring to

the left (counterclockwise) until the image is slightly blurred. Then turn the adjustment ring to the right (clockwise) until the maximum image definition is reached.

Practical tip: use the focusing wheel on the spotting scope to continually set the focus. This will help to stop your eyes feeling tired.

2.7 USING THE ZOOM ADJUSTMENT RING

Changing magnification: turning the adjustment ring to the right increases the magnification, turning it to the left reduces the magnification. The index mark shows the current magnification setting.

3. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

3.1 LENS-CLEANING CLOTH

With the included microfiber lens-cleaning cloth you can clean even the most sensitive glass surfaces. It is ideal for objective lenses, eyepieces, and eyeglasses.

Please keep the cloth clean, as dirt can damage the lens surface. If the cloth is dirty, you can wash it in lukewarm soapy water and let it air dry. Please use it only for cleaning glass surfaces.

3.2 CLEANING

We have designed all the components and surfaces of the scope to be easy to clean.

To ensure the long-lasting optical brilliance of your spotting scope, you should keep the glass surfaces free from dirt, oil, and grease. To clean the optics, first brush off any larger particles of dirt using an optical lens brush. Then breathe gently on the lens and polish it with the cleaning cloth to remove any remaining dirt.

The housing is best cleaned with a soft, moist cloth (please do not use the lens-cleaning cloth for this). If it is very dirty (e.g. with sand), the twist-in eyecup can be completely unscrewed for very easy cleaning.

3.3 STORAGE

You should store your spotting scope in a well-ventilated, dark location. If the spotting scope is wet, it must be dried first. In tropical areas or areas with high humidity, it is best to store it in an airlight container with a moisture-absorbing agent (e.g. silica gel).
