FoneMate
™
Smart Phone to Tele Vue Eyepiece Adapter
Introduction
FoneMate™ can connect with any
Dioptrx™-compatible eyepiece and phones
from about 60-mm x 114-mm (width x
height) to 120-mm x 212-mm in size. Note
that some eyepieces require an adapter to
be Dioptrx™-compatible. See the Eyepiece
Specification page at TeleVue.com for a
complete list of Dioptrx™-compatible eye-
pieces. Delos and DeLite eyepieces, with
their sliding, locking, eyeguards work par-
ticularly well in this application.
Adapter Pre-Installation Notes
• If using short eye relief eyepieces, you
may have to remove any form-fitting phone
case in order to avoid vignetting. For large
phones, removing the case can give you
more “wiggle” room for centering the phone
once the clamp limits are reached.
• Familiarize yourself with the parts dia-
gram. Note that right horizontal clamp does
not extend past the back plate.

Install Smart Phone on FoneMate
™
• Adjust knurled knob to the point where
the clamps can slide by hand – but not slide
on their own. Pull out clamps.
• Place smart phone on back plate so
the camera lens is roughly centered over
the camera hole (Fig A) and push oppos-
ing clamps simultaneously snug against the
phone body (Fig B). Tighten the knurled
knob (Fig C).
• Flip the assembly over (Fig D). If the
camera lens is not centered in the lens hole,
support the camera with one hand and just
loosen the knurled knob enough to move the
clamps. Using both hands, nudge opposing
clamps to center the lens. Tighten the knob.
• Flip the assembly over to check if the
phone rocks in the cradle when pressing
buttons, or does not lie flat. This may be
due to phone contours and hard buttons.
