5)  To make vertical angle motions loosen the pan and tilt arm (3) by twisting it 

counter-clockwise and then moving the arm up or down. When you reach the 
desired position lock the pan and tilt arm by twisting it clockwise.  

 

6)  To raise or lower the telescope you can move the tripod center column up or 

down with the crank (4). You must first loosen the vertical adjustment lock (5) by 
turning it counter-clockwise. Then re-tighten it by turning clockwise. 

 

7)  To turn the telescope right or left, loosen the horizontal adjustment lock (7). Turn 

the telescope to the desired position and re-tighten the knob by turning it 
clockwise. 

 

8)  To flip the telescope up to 90 degrees you can loosen the tilt-lock knob (6). When 

the telescope is at the desired angle tighten the knob.

1)  Your telescope is equipped with a 30X-90X zoom eyepiece (8). To change the 

magnification power, gently turn the rubber zoom ring (9) on the eyepiece. The 
magnification power is indicated on the side of the eyepiece. 

 

2)  Set the eyepiece to its lowest magnification (30X). 

 

3)  Turn the rubberized focusing knob (10) until you see the clearest image. The 

focus adjustment actually moves the rear mirror inside your telescope. This 
precision adjustment gives you the ability to make extremely fine focus 
adjustments.
