Step 6.

 

 

Insert 45º diagonal: Insert the diagonal (#6) into the eyepiece side of

 

 

the telescope. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.

 

 

Insert the eyepiece: Remove the supplied K 25mm eyepiece (#7) from

 

 

its container and slide it into the other end of the diagonal. Tighten the

45º diagonal

 

thumbscrews to a firm feel only. Remove the dust cover from the end of

 

optical tube assembly.

 

 

 

 

Use the focus knob to bring objects into focus. You may need to turn

 

eyepiece

the focus knob quite a few turns to focus your telescope for the first time.

 

 

Always start observing using a low power eyepiece (such as a K 25mm

 

 

eyepiece) to get a nice wide field of view. Later you can change to high

 

 

power if so desired. Higher powered eyepieces have a much narrower

 

 

field of view. So it’s more difficult to locate objects using higher powered

Focus knob

 

eyepieces.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7.

 

 

Plug hand controller into any one of HBX port on the mount.

 

 

Turn on power. Now you are ready to observe. Use the 4 Arrow keys

 

 

(▲▼◄►) to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left, and Right. Use the

 

 

SPEED key to change the slew rate from the slowest (2X) to the fastest

 

 

(MAX).

 

 

 

 

 

Step 8.

2) Up

 

Set telescope to PARK POSITION.

 

 

(1) Position the mount so that the “SOUTH” mark is facing south (A

 

 

compass may be helpful).

 

 

(2) The telescope tube should be pointed directly up at the zenith. If it is

 

 

not perfectly straight then loosen the altitude lock (#4) to adjust

1) South

#4

telescope.

lock

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 9.

 

 

Level the mount using the bubble on side of mount by adjusting tripod

 

 

legs. The bubble should be in the middle of the circle. It is also

 

 

suggested to use additional levels (such as torpedo levels) to assure

 

 

precise leveling.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 10.

 

 

Press the I/O power switch ON (controller will light up).

 

 

For models with GPS: Wait for controller to say “G-OK” or “Stop” in top

 

 

right corner —not “G-ON”. GPS provides Latitude, Longitude, and

 

 

current time only.

 

 

For models without GPS you will be able to manually enter latitude,

 

 

longitude, and time in the next steps.

 

 

Step 11.

 

 

Press the MENU key once.

 

 

Scroll (with the ▲/▼ keys) to “Set Up Controller”

 

 

Press ENTER.

 

 

Scroll to “Set Up Time and Site” in the next screen.

 

 

Press ENTER.
