Fastening the scope on the tripod
Take the scope out of the packaging

as they con go. Place the tripod on an
even and stable base (like a table).
Your scope has a normed tripod adap-
tor thread (5), which can be screwed
precisely on the tripod adaptor thread
screw (9) of the tripod.
Please tighten the fixing screw (10)
beneath the tripod head.

turning the
panhandle (13) counter clockwise.
Now you can move the tripod head
with the fastened scope on both axes
(up/down and left/right).
When you have reached the desired
observing position, the scope can be
locked by turning the panhandle (13)
the other way as before (clockwise).
