Zhumell telescopes are precision astronomical instruments designed for ease of 
use and versatility in their application. As with any telescope, Zhumell telescopes 
require some technical knowledge of stellar movement and optical properties. 
We have provided basic instructions for telescope use and astronomical viewing 
in this manual.

Your Zhumell telescope is built with the highest-quality optics and top-notch 
construction to provide years of reliable functionality, but will require proper care.

If, after reading this manual, you still have questions about your Zhumell 
telescope, please visit www.zhumell.com for more helpful tips and contact 
information. Our customer service representatives are available to address any 
problems you encounter with your telescope. Please let us know about your 
experiences; we would like to hear your feedback.

Zhumell customers know that there are plenty of ways to experience 

the world. They also understand that, however you choose to explore 

it, the best experience is one that fully immerses you in the world’s 
most striking details.
