assembly clockwise until it threads completely onto the tri-
pod’s 3/8"-16 threaded post, and rests securely on the tri-
pod’s mounting platform. Now tighten the lock-screw from
underneath the mounting platform to provide extra stability
to the assembly.
4. There is a bubble level at the base of the fork arm. To
make the fork arm level, simply adjust each tripod leg up
or down, one at a time, until the bubble rests in the central
black circle of the level. Proper leveling of the tr ipod will
maximize stability.
5. To raise or lower the TeleTrack AZ-G Mount’s fork arm to
a comfortable height, first loosen the elevator lock knob
on the t ripod, then use the hinged h and crank to move
the elevator shaft up or down. Re-tighten the elevator
lock knob to secure the instrument at the new height. The
mount will be most stable when the elevator shaft is not
extended.
6. The TeleTrack AZ-G hand controller cable has a large,
modular connector (RJ-45) and a smaller, modular con-
nector (RJ-12). First, plug the large modular connector
of the hand controller cable into the corresponding jack
on the hand controller (Figure 4a) until it clicks into place.
The smaller jack is used to interface the TeleTrack AZ-G
hand controller with a computer running planetarium soft-
ware (optional). The 12V power jack on the hand control-
ler allows independent use of the TeleTrack AZ-G hand
controller. This is helpful for users who wish to browse the
object database or when performing firmware upgrades.
7. Attach the other end of the connector into the jack labeled
“HC” on the TeleTrack AZ-G mount head (Figure 4b).
The TeleTrack AZ-G hand controller allows direct access
to all of the user-friendly motion controls of the mount and
