3. Adjusting the Eye-Cup
The adjustable eye-cup can be twisted up or down to provide optimal viewing comfort, whether you wear glasses or not. Adjust it until you see a full, clear field of view.
4. Using the Retractable Sun Shade
Extend the retractable sun shade located at the front of the objective lens to reduce glare and protect the lens from rain or dust. Simply slide it forward until it locks into place.
5. Attaching the Smartphone Adapter
To capture photos or videos with your smartphone, attach the smartphone adapter to the eyepiece. Secure your phone in the adapter, aligning the phone's camera with the eyepiece. This allows you to view and record through the scope directly on your phone screen.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Blurry Image
Incorrect focus, dirty lenses, or improper eye-cup adjustment.
Adjust the focusing knob, clean the lenses, and ensure the eye-cup is set correctly for your vision.
Dark Image
Insufficient light, objective lens cap still on, or low magnification.
Ensure lens caps are removed. Try observing in brighter conditions or adjust magnification.
Fogging Inside Lenses
Rapid temperature changes (though nitrogen-filled, extreme changes can cause temporary fogging).
Allow the scope to acclimate to the ambient temperature. If persistent, contact support.
Smartphone Adapter Not Aligning
Phone camera not centered with the eyepiece.
Carefully adjust the phone's position within the adapter until the camera lens is perfectly centered over the scope's eyepiece.
