Bushnell 789512 Instruction Manual

To align the finderscope, first locate a distant object through the main telescope. Then, adjust the finderscope screws until the crosshairs are centered on the same object.
Ensure the telescope is focused by adjusting the focus knob. Check that the lenses are clean and that the telescope is properly collimated.
Clean the lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth and a lens cleaning solution. Avoid touching the lenses with your fingers and always store the telescope with lens caps on.
Use a padded carrying case to protect the telescope during transport. Ensure all components are securely fastened to prevent movement.
Check that the mount is level and that all screws are tightened. Consult the manual for proper setup instructions and recalibrate the alignment if necessary.
Check that all locking knobs are securely tightened. If the issue persists, inspect for any damaged or worn-out components and replace them if needed.
Use adjustable tripod legs to ensure stability on uneven ground. Consider adding a weight to the tripod base for additional stability.
Refer to the manual for specific instructions on adjusting the primary and secondary mirrors. Use a collimation cap or laser collimator for accuracy.
Use a dew shield to prevent dew formation. If dew forms, gently wipe the lens with a dry, microfiber cloth. Consider using a portable dew heater for extended sessions.
Check the power supply and ensure the batteries are fresh or the power connection is secure. Refer to the manual for troubleshooting steps specific to the motor drive model.
