How to use

1. To attach the Eyepiece, locate the indexing hole on the bottom side of the eye piece (indicated by a white mark) and the pin on the body of the spotting scope. Set the Eyepiece on the body of the spotting scope, and ensuring that the pin is in the index hole. 2. Rotate the Eyepiece Lock Ring clockwise until the Eyepiece is securely attached. 3. To detach the eyepiece, rotate the Eyepiece Lock Ring on the Eyepiece counterclockwise until it is unthreaded all the way. Attach the Razor HD to a tripod or car window mount for stability. The Razor HD has an Arca-Swiss Compatible Tripod Mount Foot and will work without a quick-release plate on any Arca-Swiss compatible tripod or car-window mount. The Razor HD tripod foot will also attach to any tripod or car- window mount that uses a 1/4”-20 thread pitch. Simply screw the compatible quick-release plate into the bottom of the tripod foot. Change your spotting scope’s magnification by simply turning the Magnification Adjustment Ring: After setting the magnification, some refocusing is usually required. To adjust the focus, rotate the Helical Focus Dial until the image is in focus.
