Zoom eyepiece eyecups
Your spotting scope features a rotating adjustment of the eyecup on
the eyepiece. This eyecup is usually left in the up position for use
without eyeglasses. To use the spotting scope with eyeglasses, sim-
ply rotate the eyeguard downwards towards the lens. If when viewing
through the eyepiece, you see dark shadows floating around the
edges of the image when your eye is centered, you’re probably a little
too close to the lens, so try rotating the eyecup up slightly to a posi-
tion somewhere in the middle of the range.
Using the GrandView inside its case
The case for the GrandView ED spotters is designed so it can be
used on the spotter while in use. There are “doors” sewn into the
case so the tripod can be attached, the focus knob can be accessed,
and the eyepiece can be viewed through. This aids in using the spot-
ting scopes in more inclement weather, and helps protect the surface
of the spotter from scuffs and scratches.
Waterproof
The GrandView ED Spotting scopes are waterproof, and can be used in
inclement weather. However, this does not mean they can be left outside
when not in use, and they are not rated for submersion in water. If it is
raining, it’s best to use the spotters inside their case for added protection,
but the body itself will protect against rain. Also note that the spotters are
waterproof only when using the included zoom eyepiece, and may not be
waterproof if a different eyepiece is used that is not rated for wet condi-
tions. Please bring the spotting scopes back inside when not in use, and
always store indoors.
Cleaning the lenses
The lens surfaces are coated with anti-reflection coatings, which can
be damaged with careless handling. Avoid touching lens surfaces
with your fingers or any coarse material. Always use lens cleaning
tissue and fluid designed specifically for telescope optical coatings.
Do not use regular tissue or fluids made for eyeglasses or household
use. Do not disassemble the spotting scope to clean it. To clean the
lenses, first blow air on the lens with a blower bulb or compressed air
to remove any large particles. Then brush the lens with a soft lens
brush and blow air again to remove any dislodged particles. Put two
drops of lens cleaning fluid on a sheet of lens tissue (never directly
on the lens). Wipe the lens gently in a circular motion, taking care to
avoid undue pressure or rubbing. Quickly remove the excess fluid by
wiping with a clean, dry lens tissue. Microfiber cloth works well, too.
On the objective lens, clean only a small area at a time, using a fresh
lens tissue on each area.
