Using the Telescope

1) Eye Distance Adjustment

While holding the telescope in a normal observing position, hold both lens cones tightly,

making sure both lens cones rotate inward or outward until you see a single round image

through both lenses of the telescope. In this case, the outgoing interpupillary distance from

the lens is the same as yours. Make sure to adjust to the correct position when in use.

2) Focusing

- Close the right eye, using the left eye to observe the intended scene/target. Rotate the

center Focusing-roller until you see a clear image.

- Open the right eye, close the left eye. Rotate the right eyepiece until you see a clear image.

It is recommended to note the right eye eyepiece scale value for future use reference.

- At this point, both focal distances should be well adjusted. Use the central Telescope

Focusing Roller to focus on other scenes/targets.

3) Foldable Eyeshade

If you wear glasses, then you need to roll down / press down the eyeshades to make sure

your eyes are close to both the left and right eyepieces for better vision. Pull up the

eyeshade if you do not wear glasses.

4) Cleaning and Maintenance

- Use the clean flannelette to clear dust and fingerprints on the lens. You can drop some

ethanol on the flannelette to clean more thoroughly.

- When the telescope is not in use, store in a dry and well ventilated place.

- Do not clean the interior of the lens.

- Do not try to dismantle the telescope.

- Do not use the telescope to observe the sun. This will cause harm to your eyes.

Troubleshooting

Q: I have taken photos and selected the “Get Images” button. I get a message that the

images were successfully transferred but the photos do not appear on my computer.

What do I do?

First ensure that you have in fact taken photos. Press the Shutter button to take some sample

photos and then try downloading them again.

With test photos if the camera powers off before you upload them to the computer the photos are

not stored in the camera`s memory. These photos should be uploaded quickly before the camera

powers off. If the photos are saved to the SD memory card then all the photos should appear.

Q: How do I make sure I don't lose important pictures?

This camera requires an SD card for normal use. If the camera powers off nothing will happen to

the images stored on the SD memory card. We recommend always downloading your photos to

your computer as soon as possible to prevent unintentional data loss.

Q: I deleted images using the Vivitar Experience Image Manager. The images were also

deleted from my computer. How do I recover images that I accidently deleted?

All images deleted using the Vivitar Experience Image Manager are sent to your computer ’s

Recycle or Trash Bin and can be retrieved from there.
