knob (F). Once the elevation clamp knob is retightened, minor windage and
elevation adjustments can be made using the micro-windage and micro-elevation
adjustment screws (G and H).

focus the unit by rotating the focus ring (L) until the image is clear and sharp.
Adjust zoom ring (M) (if applicable) to highest magnification. If necessary, refocus.
NOTE: If there is more than one adjustment ring on the spotting
scope, the zoom ring will always be the ring located closest to
the eyepiece of the unit. The focus ring may be located just
forward of the zoom ring, in the central portion of the unit, or
at the objective end of the unit. Inspect your unit and identify
all parts prior to use. (See Illustrations)

Some spotting scopes, especially those with 15 degree angled eyepieces, may be
equipped with an integrated cradle (N) to allow for rotational adjustment of the
unit. To utilize this feature, loosen the cradle lock knob (O), reposition the unit,
then retighten the cradle lock knob.
Some spotting scopes may be equipped for use in telephotography. To utilize this
option, first locate the photo adaptor threads at the ocular end (Q) of the unit.
