QWIK-POINT INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN. INSTANT AND PERMANENT DAM-

AGE TO YOUR EYES WILL OCCUR.
INTRODUCTION & USE
Qwik-Point uses a beam splitting mirror/lens to combine the scene through the lens

with a red dot projected by
it. The red dot indicates
where your telescope is

pointed. To aim you telescope with Qwik-Point, view the de-

sired object with both eyes. Do not close one. You can also be

any distance behind Qwik-Point. Swing your scope toward the object, allowing one
eye to look through the Qwik-Point lens. When Qwik-Point ‘s dot is on the object,
look through your scope.
COMPONENTS
The QWIK-POINT unit contains the light source, mirror/lens, on-off switch, battery
azimuth and elevation adjustment screws, and clamp screws
for the adapter bar.

The adapter bar permits

mounting Qwik-Point on a variety of
scopes.
MOUNTING
Loosen clamp screws on Qwik-Point
and slide the adapter out toward the back of
the unit.

For Tele Vue Ring Mounts use one or two #10-32 socket head

cap screws for mounting. Ranger models with slotted rear housings require one
#10-32 screw and Ranger models with just a threaded hole in the rear housing
requires a #6-32 button head screw ½” long.

For telescopes with different radius tubes, file or sandpaper the adapter bot-

tom concave to match the tube shape and cement (contact cement) or
screw the adapter to the tube.

Additional adapters (QPA-1004) may be purchased.

ALIGNMENT
With a low power eyepiece in the scope, find a suitable alignment sub-
ject and place it in the center of the field. With a Phillips head screw

driver, turn the horizontal and vertical adjustment

screws until Qwik-Point ‘s red dot is pointed to

the subject. Your scope and Qwik-
Point are now aligned. If you remove

Qwik-Point, check the alignment upon

reinstallation.

CARE
To replace the 3V lithium battery: slide out the battery and install a new battery with
the (+) face down.

Clean the lens by blowing dust off with a puffer brush. Remove grease with a

cotton swab moistened with lens cleaning fluid.
