Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Orion spot- ting scope. Your Dakota zoom spotting scope is a high-quality optical instrument for viewing birds, wildlife, sports events, or anything else you want to see more closely. It will provide many years of superb, enjoyable viewing. Before using your Dakota spotting scope, we rec- ommend that you read through the following instructions.

Mounting the Dakota Spotting Scope to the Mini-Tripod

The Dakota Zoom Spotting scope comes complete with a mini- tripod. This tripod will allow you to immediately enjoy using your spotting scope. Attach the spotting scope to the mini-tripod by threading the 1/4"-20 stud on the tripod into the 1/4"-20 threaded hole on the spotting scope’s mounting ring.

Using the Mini-Tripod

Once the spotting scope has been mounted to the mini-tripod, it can be precisely aimed in altitude (up/down) by the use of the slow motion altitude knob. For large movements in alti-

tude, loosen the altitude lock knob and raise or lower the spotting scope to the desired level. Retighten the altitude lock knob. To move the tripod in azimuth (left/right), simply take hold of the tripod with one hand and turn the body of the tele- scope with your other hand. If you find that there is too much or too little resistance to the azimuth movement, then loosen or tighten the knurled azimuth tension ring until you reach the desired tension level.

The spotting scope can also be raised using its elevator shaft. Loosen the azimuth tension ring all the way to allow height adjustment with the elevator shaft. When you reach the desired height, slide the elevator lock ring down to meet the azimuth tension ring. Then tighten the azimuth tension ring. Note that when you change the height of the elevator shaft, you may need to slide the elevator lock ring to make the adjustment.

Mounting the Dakota to a Tripod (optional)

Your Dakota spotting scope can be attached to a sturdy camera tripod by use of the 1/4"-20 threaded hole located in the mount- ing ring on the spotting scope’s body. This hole accepts 1/4"-20 mounting studs that are standard on most camera tripods.
