General Warnings
• Risk of blindness — Never use this device to look directly at the sun or in the direct proximity of the sun. Doing so may result in a risk of
blindness.
• Choking hazard — Children should only use the device under adult supervision. Keep packaging material, like plastic bags and rubber bands,
out of the reach of children, as these materials pose a choking hazard.
• Risk of fire — Do not place the device, particularly the lenses, in direct sunlight. The concentration of light could cause a fire.
• Do not disassemble the device. In the event of a defect, please contact your dealer. The dealer will contact the Service Centre and can send
the device in to be repaired, if necessary.
• Do not expose the device to high temperatures.
• The device is intended only for private use. Please heed the privacy of other people. Do not use this device to look into apartments, for
example.

Assembly
You should take some time to decide where you would like to set up your telescope. Choose a stable surface like a table. Screw in the tel-
escope tube into the U-shaped clamp on the top of the tripod head. You can now place the zenith mirror (2) into the eyepiece holder and secure
it with the small screw on the connector (Fig. 1). Next, set the eyepiece (3) into the opening of the zenith mirror (2) (Fig. 1). Here too, there is
a screw with which you can screw the eyepiece onto the zenith mirror.
Note: First, put the eyepiece with the largest focal length (e.g. 20 mm) onto the zenith mirror. While you'll get the lowest amount of magnifica-
tion, it will be easier for you to view things.
Using your telescope
To move the scope up, down and side to side, grip the telescope, slightly loosen the locating screws (7 or 8) and steadily move the tube until
your target comes into view in the eyepiece. It is important to remember that the rotation of the Earth means objects will move out of your
eyepiece fairly quickly. Once you have found and focused on your desired target, you will have to track the object as it journeys across the
night sky. For a closer look at an object, you can insert the 6 mm eyepiece. The magnification will increase from 18x to 60x.
Which eyepiece is right?
It is important that you always choose an eyepiece with the highest focal width at the beginning of your observation. Afterward, you can
gradually move to eyepieces with smaller focal widths. The focal width is indicated in millimetres and is written on each eyepiece. In general,
the following is true: the larger the focal width of an eyepiece, the smaller the magnification. There is a simple formula for calculating the
magnification: Focal width of the telescope tube :
Focal width of the eyepiece = Magnification
The magnification also depends on the focal width of the telescope tube. This telescope contains a tube with a focal width of 400 mm.
Examples:
360 mm / 20 mm = 18X magnification
360 mm / 6 mm = 60X magnification
Focus wheel
Look through the telescope eyepiece (3) and hone in on a far away object that you can see well (for instance, a church tower). Focus in on the
object with the focus knob (1).
Technical data
• Design: achromatic
• Focal length: 360 mm
• Objective diameter: 50 mm
Notes on cleaning
• Clean the eyepieces and lenses only with a soft, lint-free cloth, like a microfibre cloth. To avoid scratching the lenses, use only gentle pres-
sure with the cleaning cloth.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, moisten the cleaning cloth with an eyeglass-cleaning solution, and wipe the lenses gently.
• Protect the device from dust and moisture. After use, particularly in high humidity, let the device acclimatise for a short period of time, so
that the residual moisture can dissipate before storing.
