Meade 20-60x60 Spotting Scope, Instructions

FEATURES

1.  Eyepiece - Look through the eyepiece and adjust 

the focusing ring to see your target up close.

2.  Zoom - Find a target and adjust the zoom to see 

increased detail and image size. When finding a 

target, its best to start with the least amount of 

zoom(20x) and center the target. Then increase 

the magnification and refocus as needed.

3.  Focusing Ring - Adjust the focusing ring until 

the viewed object is sharp. When the zoom is 

adjusted, you may need to refocus.

4.  Tube Mounting Ring - Holds the optical tube in 

place when connected to the tripod. The optical 

tube can be rotated around the optical axis to 

put the eyepiece in a better viewing position.

5.  Tube Mounting Ring Lock Knob - Rotate this lock 

knob in the counter-clockwise direction to allow 

rotation of the optical tube. Tighten this knob 

when the eyepiece is in the preferred position.

6.  Optical Tube - Holds the 60mm front lens and 

zoom eyepiece in place for stable image quality.

7.  Sun Shade - Extend the Sun Shade to reduce 

scattered light or glare from the Sun.  

8.  Dust  Cover - Protects the glass lenses in the front 

of the spotting scope. Remove the dust cover 

before use and always replace when finished.

9.  Table Top Tripod - A stable mounting platform for 

the spotting scope.  Place on a picnic table, car 

hood or other similar surface to make viewing 

thru the scope comfortable. 

10. Tripod Mounting Lock Knob - Attach the optical 

tube to the tripod by tightening this screw.

11. Pan Handle - Allows for easy operation of the 

spotting scope. Use the pan handle to help point 

to objects and rotate it to lock the vertical motion.

ASSEMBLY

The 20-60x60mm spotting scope comes separated 

from the tripod for easy storage and increased 

portability. The optical tube is packed in its carry bag 

which provides a convenient way to transport and 

protect the spotting scope when not in use.

To assemble the optical tube & tripod, place the 

optical tube onto the tripod as shown in the image. 

The front 60mm lens should be placed opposite the 

pan-handle. Tighten the Tripod Mount Lock Knob 

into the base of the Tube Mounting Ring until secure.

Warning! Never point the spotting scope at or near the Sun! Immediate and 

permanent eye damage will occur!
