   Twist or fold down the eyecup on the eyepiece for comfortable viewing. If you wear eyeglasses, you may prefer to keep the eyecup folded down to see the full field of view.

Operating Instructions

To achieve the best viewing experience with your Bushnell Trophy Xtreme Spotting Scope, follow these operational guidelines:

1. Aiming the Scope:

   Point the spotting scope towards your desired target. Use the tripod's pan and tilt adjustments to fine-tune the aiming.

2. Adjusting Magnification (Zoom):

   Rotate the zoom adjustment ring on the eyepiece to change the magnification from 20x to 60x. Start with lower magnification (20x) to locate your target, then increase as needed for more detail.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure your spotting scope provides years of reliable service:

• Cleaning Lenses:

  Use only a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Gently wipe the lens surface. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of optical lens cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Avoid abrasive materials or excessive rubbing.

• Cleaning Body:

  Wipe the body of the scope with a soft, clean cloth. For dirt or grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a clean cloth.

• Storage:

  When not in use, store the spotting scope in its hard case or soft case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure lens caps are in place to protect the optics.

• Waterproof Feature:

  The Bushnell Trophy Xtreme Spotting Scope features 100% waterproof construction. While it is designed to withstand exposure to moisture, it is not intended for submersion. After exposure to water, wipe the scope dry before storing.
