FLIP MIRROR INSTRUCTIONS

Parts List
1) Flip Mirror holder with first-surface mirror and set screws installed
2) Allen wrench
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Starbeam Flip Mirror.
You can now have the convenience of using your Starbeam Finder
either in-line or at 90°. Please note that this is a first-surface mirror: donot touch it; you will leave fingerprints. The mirror can be easily cleaned(see below instructions).
Installation
Please note that earlier Starbeams had only a single set screw securing the illuminator. Thiswill not present a problem securing or using the Flip Mirror. If you have one of these older Starbeams,
remove the extra set screw from the Flip Mirror.
1a) Remove Illuminator - With the Starbeam sitting flat on a table, use the Allen wrench to remove the set screw(s)securing the illuminator.
1b) With the screw(s) removed, pull the illuminator out of the black housing Be careful not to lose the small (approx.
3/8" x 3/8") piece of plastic film that could fall out of the holder. This is the diffuser material for the light; if it is not
used, the red “star” will be excessively bright and unevenly illuminated.
2a) Attach Flip Mirror - With the mirror side toward Starbeam's lens assembly, slide the Flip Mirror over the illuminatorhousing until the set screw(s) align with the screw hole(s). This may be easier to sight by looking into the illuminatorcavity at the end of the Starbeam.
2b) Tighten the set screws a couple of turns to attach the Flip Mirror to the Starbeam. However, make sure that the setscrews do not enter the illuminator housing cavity, or it will prevent you from reinserting the illuminator.
3a) Reinstall the illuminator - Reinsert the illuminator, along with the diffuser material, into the illuminator housing.
3b) Tighten the set screw(s) with the Allen wrench. Make sure you do not overtighten the screws; it is only necessary
to snug them down enough to securely hold the illuminator in place.
4) Peel off the mirror’s protective blue coverUse1) For in-line viewing and Flip Mirror storage, push the flip the mirror forward until it touches the Starbeam's main bar.
This will also minimize dewing, when not in use.
2) When your scope is pointed at a highelevation, flip the mirror up until you see
Starbeam's lens aperture.
Cleaning
1) Before cleaning, all dust should be blown
off the mirror with a bulb type puffer. We do
not recommend the use of canned compressed
air because the propellant can squirt out anddamage the mirror.
2) Use Isopropyl alcohol and a soft, lint-free
cloth to gently clean the mirror surface.
