INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Congratulations on your outstanding new spotting scope. Enjoy the impressive experience of undistorted image reproduction which is distinguished by perfect brilliance and excellent colour accuracy.
The ZEISS brand is famous for outstanding optical achievements, precision workmanship and long service life. Please observe the following instructions for use in order to obtain the best from your binoculars and to ensure that they remain your constant companion for many years to come.
Scope of delivery
- ZEISS spotting scope with carrying strap
- Soft leather case
Viewing with and without eyeglasses
- If you do not wear glasses when viewing, use the spotting scope with the eyecups extended as shown in Fig. 1.
- If you wear glasses when viewing, pull the edge of the soft rubber eyecups as far as possible past the upper edge of the eyepiece as shown in Fig. 2.
Focusing
- To set the maximum range on the spotting scope, rotate the lens inwards, almost to the stop (Fig. 1 and 2).
- Rotate the lens for shorter ranges. The minimum observation range of approximately 20 cm is set if the objective is rotated outwards to the stop (Fig. 3).
Changing the carrying strap (Fig. 4)
Unscrew (counterclockwise) the eyecup from your spotting scope. You can then unscrew (counterclockwise) the threaded ring including carrying strap and replace it with a new one. To reassemble, proceed in the opposite order – first screw on the threaded ring (including carrying strap) and then the eyecup, each in a clockwise direction.
ZEISS VICTORY 3×12 Mono as magnification attachment
In order to use your ZEISS VICTORY 3×12 Mono as a magnification attachment, you must connect the corresponding adapter ring to the lens side of your ZEISS VICTORY 3×12 Mono as shown in Fig. 5.
If your binoculars are equipped with sliding eyecups, insert the magnification attachment into an extended eyecup.
If your binoculars are equipped with rubber eyecups, remove an eyecup and attach the magnification attachment in its place.
Please note that setting your ZEISS VICTORY 3×12 Mono to infinite and other magnifications is still only performed on the spotting scope.
View with and without eyeglasses as described above.
Care and maintenance
A ZEISS spotting scope requires no special maintenance. Do not wipe off coarse dirt particles (e.g. sand) from the lenses, but blow them off or remove them with a soft brush.
Fingerprints on the lens surfaces may affect them in the course of time. The easiest way to keep the lenses clean is by breathing on them and wiping with a soft optical cleaning cloth or optical cleaning paper.
To avoid a possible fungal coating which is common in the tropics, store the optics in a dry place and always ensure good aeration of the lens surface.
Safety notes
Never use the spotting scope to look directly at the sun or high-intensity, technical light sources (e.g. lasers), as this could injure your eyes.
Improper use or pronounced mechanical stress, e.g. a fall or knock, may result in damage to the spotting scope.
Improper treatment will lead to an impairment of the telescope’s functions, which must be expertly examined by the manufacturer.
To avoid fire, do not expose the hand spotting scope to direct sunlight in its extended state
