onto the two bolts and re-attach the washers securely. The finder scope

 

should face towards the open end of the tube (see arrow in diagram).

 

Turn on the beam using the switch on the side. (note: you may need to

 

remove the plastic insulation placed next to the battery underneath)

Switch

Not pictured here: Insert one eyepiece into the receptor and secure with

 

side screws. Use the large knob on side to adjust the focus.

 

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).

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

lock

(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

telescope.

 

 

 

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.

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.
