#9

screw on the bottom of the tray. Turning the tray until hand tight

 

 

– don’t over tighten the tray.

 

 

Step 2. Attaching the Mount

Thread of Azimuth

Insert Azimuth Lock (#12) into the hole on the tripod.

Position center of the mount base to the threaded bolt of Azimuth

 

Lock #12

Lock (#12). Turn the Azimuth Lock to secure the mount.

 

 

Step 3. Installing Batteries (not included)

Pull the batteries compartment cover (shown) open. Gently pull the batteries holder (shown next) out of the compartment to avoid breaking the attached wires.

Step 3a.

Insert 8 AA batteries (not included) according to the diagrams on the holder.**

Replace the holder back into the batteries compartment and replace the cover.

Note: fit the batteries holder back into the compartment with the attached wires at the bottom right corner (see arrow in the photo).
