MAINTENANCE
Your Bushnell Elite Tactical LMSS, though amazingly tough, is a precision instrument that deserves reasonably cautious care.
• When cleaning the lenses, first blow away any dry dirt and dust, or use a soft lens brush. Fingerprints and lubricants can be wiped off with lens tissue, or a soft clean cloth, moistened with
lens cleaning fluid. Microfiber cleaning cloths are also recommended.
• WARNING: Unnecessary rubbing or use of a coarse cloth may cause permanent damage to the lens coatings.
• All moving parts of the scope are permanently lubricated. Do not try to lubricate them.
• No maintenance is needed on the scope’s outer surface, except to occasionally wipe off dirt or fingerprints with a soft cloth.
• Use lens covers whenever it is convenient.
STORAGE
Avoid storing the scope in hot places, such as the passenger compartment of a vehicle on a hot day. The high temperature could adversely affect the lubricants and sealants. A vehicle’s trunk, a gun
cabinet or a closet is preferable.
Never leave the scope where direct sunlight can enter either the objective or the eyepiece lens. Damage may result from the concentration (burning glass effect) of the sun’s rays.

FOCUSING
Rotate the focus ring until you see a precise defined image. The depth of field (the zone or distance over which the image
is seen in sharp focus) and the field of view are greatest at lower powers. If the initial focusing is done at low power, you
may find that additional focus adjustment is required as power is increased. You may find it helpful to set or fine tune the
focus for your subject with the zoom set to the highest power (40x) before adjusting the power to your final preference.
USE WITH EYEGLASSES
The ELITE® Tactical LMSS eyepiece is designed to provide you with the longest practical eye relief possible. (Eye relief is the
distance from the eye to the ocular lens which allows the user to see the full field of view) This provides you with the same
field of view with or without eyeglasses. When not wearing eyeglasses, twist the rubber eyecup in a counter-clockwise
direction to extend it outwards. There are two click stops which allow for setting the eyecup to intermediate positions,
between fully extended and fully retracted.
MOUNTING
The ELITE® Tactical LMSS tripod mount socket provides a convenient means of fastening to any tripod, car window mount
or other stable platform. For best results, mount your ELITE® Tactical LMSS on a firm support to prevent any movement of
the spotting scope. Movement will make the viewed scene appear to vibrate at high magnification. A firm mount will also
help you to locate, track and keep objects in the field of view.
