BEFORE USE

4 IENGLISH

USING THE TABLETOP TRIPOD

Your spotting scope includes a tabletop tripod for

added stability when viewing. Follow the steps

below to set up the tripod.

1. Spread the three tripod legs until they come

to a stop.

2. Make sure the Pan/Tilt Handle is in the locked

position (turn clockwise) and the mounting

plate is level.

3. Place the bottom of the tripod on the top of

the mounting plate lining up the mounting

screw of the tripod and the mounting hole

on the spotting scope. Secure the spotting

scope to the tripod by turning the screw

counterclockwise.

4. The Pan/Tilt Handle controls the tripod’s

horizontal and vertical movement. To adjust

the spotting scope’s position, turn the handle

counterclockwise to unlock. Move the spotting

scope to the desired viewing position and turn

the handle clockwise to lock into place.

FOCUSING

To ensure a crisp, sharp image, the spotting

scope must be focused. To focus the spotting

scope, slowly rotate the focus wheel (located

behind the tripod mount) until the image in the

eyepiece is clear and sharp. If the focus wheel

will not rotate any further, you have reached the

end of its travel and need to turn the wheel in the

opposite direction.

ENGLISH I5

CHANGING THE MAGNIFICATION

To change the magniﬁcation of the zoom eyepiece,

simply rotate the eyepiece in a clockwise direction

to increase the magniﬁcation and counterclockwise

to decrease the magniﬁcation. When changing

magniﬁcation, the scope will need to be refocused.

The largest ﬁeld of view and brightest images will

always be at the lowest magniﬁcation.

ROTATING TRIPOD MOUNT

LandScout spotting scopes feature a rotating

tripod mount that rotates a full 360° and allows

the eyepiece to be set in any viewing position.

To change the eyepiece position, loosen the lock

screw (located on the tripod mount) and turn the

scope to the desired position. Tighten the lock

screw and view through the eyepiece.

DIGISCOPING

POINT-AND-SHOOT PHOTOGRAPHY

LandScout spotting scopes can be used for

digiscoping with point-and-shoot digital cameras.

Please note that not all cameras are compatible

for digiscoping and with some cameras, vignetting

(a circular image surrounded by black) will occur.

Point-and-shoot cameras with an optical zoom

of 3x or 4x, tend to be the most compatible with

the least amount of vignetting. Most images will

be sharpest and brightest when using the lowest

magniﬁcation on the zoom eyepiece.

A variety of point-and-shoot cameras can be used

to digiscope with LandScout spotting scopes

utilizing the Universal Camera Adapter (#93626)

offered by Celestron. This adapter attaches to

the eyepiece and allows the camera lens to be

centered behind the eyepiece. Please note that

not all cameras are compatible with this adapter.

There is not enough adjustment to center the lens

behind the eyepiece when

the position of the lens is low in the camera

body or when the camera does not have

adequate height.

CARE AND STORAGE

Your Celestron spotting scope will provide you

years of dependable service if it is cared for and

stored properly.

1. Protect the spotting scope from impact and

do not force any of the moving parts beyond

their limits.

2. Protect the optics of your spotting scope by

putting on all lens caps when not in use.

3. Store your spotting scope in a cool, dry place

whenever possible.

4. When storing for an extended period of time,

place the spotting scope in a plastic bag or

airtight container with a desiccant.

5. Do not leave the spotting scope in a car on a

hot/sunny day or near anything that generates

heat as this may cause damage.

6. Clean any dust, dirt or water that may get on

the spotting scope or inside moving parts as

soon as possible to prevent any unforeseen

damage.

8 IENGLISH

CLEANING

Proper cleaning of the lenses is essential to

maintaining the optical integrity of your spotting

scope. Dirty lenses diminish the amount of light

transmitted through the spotting scope and your

overall viewing experience.

1. Remove any dust on the lenses with a soft lens

brush or can of pressurized air.

2. Remove any ﬁngerprints, stains or smudges

from the lens surface with a soft, clean lens

cloth or lens tissue by rubbing in a circular

motion. Start in the middle of the lens and

work your way to the edges. Breathe lightly on

the lens to provide moisture if needed.

3. For a more thorough cleaning we recommend

the use of a lens/optics cleaning kit available

at most photo or optical shops. Follow the

directions supplied with the cleaning kit for

best results.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If warranty problems arise or repairs are

necessary, contact the Celestron customer

service department if you live in the United States

or Canada. If you live outside of these countries,

please contact the dealer you purchased your

spotting scope from or the Celestron distributor

in your country.
