MALIGNING NORTHSTAR FOR THE FIRST TIME

(NOTE: Make certain that the telescope is set up on a level surface.)

Step 1:

Before turning the telescope on, remove the remote control handset. When you turn the telescope on, a spoken and scrolling welcome message will be heard and seen as:

BUSHNELL NORTHSTAR Vx.x (the version number of the operating software)

Following this message, the telescope will execute a diagnostic check and level the telescope tube in relation to the telescope mount.

Then the default menu will appear:

SELECT MODE

ALIGN EARTH 56

The ALIGN EARTH mode assumes that even if the telescope user is a first time user and does not know anything about astronomy that they can be successful aligning the telescope in a few simple steps. Another option is the "ALIGN STAR" mode which requires a bit more experience but yields somewhat more accurate results-this will be described later.

The ALIGN EARTH option is flashing.

Press ENTER to choose the ALIGN EARTH option.

NOTE: ANY FLASHING ITEM ON THE DISPLAY IS A MENU CHOICE. OTHER CHOICES ARE AVAILABLE BY USING THE SCROLL UP OR SCROLL DOWN BUTTONS.

Step 2: Set the time

By using the UP and DOWN buttons and the ENTER button, the time can easily be set as well as the time zone. Each flashing option will need to be changed (using UP/DOWN) to read the appropriate number. Once the appropriate number is displayed, accept the number by pressing ENTER. Then set the next flashing option until the time (24 hr format) and time zone are set. Note: "_ST" indicates Standard Time and "_DT" indicates Daylight savings Time.

Step 3: Set the date

Again by using the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons and the ENTER button, the date can easily be set. Each flashing option will need to be changed to read the appropriate number or month. Once the appropriate number is displayed, accept the number by pressing ENTER. Then set the next flashing option until the day, month and year are set.

Step 4: Set the location

The next screen will display:

ALIGN EARTH

CITY 56

CITY will be flashing. Press the ENTER button, the display will change to:

COUNTRY

U.S.A. 56

The country will be flashing.
