Consumer Solutions hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Pacific Time, Monday through Friday. In the unlikely event that your MAX- ACF requires factory servicing or repairs, write or call the Meade Consumer Solutions Department first, before returning the telescope to the factory, giving full particulars as to the nature of the problem, as well as your name, address, and daytime tele- phone number. The great majority of servicing issues can be resolved by telephone, avoiding return of the telescope to the fac- tory. If factory service is required, you will be assigned a Return Goods Authorization (RGA) number prior to return.

Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope at or near the	53
