Step 5. Plug in hand controller and AC adaptor.
Plug hand controller into either one of the two HBX ports on
the mount. Next plug in AC adaptor. (Or use batteries—see
step 3). Turn on power (the red light should go on).
At this point you can begin observing manually. 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).
The other HBX is reserved for accessories, such as
external GPS module, electronic focuser or laser pointer.
DO NOT plug non-iOptron accessories into the unit to
avoid damaging the mount or accessories.
For 80mm Refractor (#8502)…….....................................................
Insert 45º diagonal: Insert the diagonal into the eyepiece
side of the telescope. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm
feel only.
Insert the eyepiece: Slide the eyepiece into the open end
of the diagonal. Tighten the thumbscrews to a firm feel
only. Remove the dust cover from the other end of optical
tube assembly.
Use the focus knob to bring objects into focus. You may
need to turn 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 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 initially locate
objects using higher powered eyepieces.
For 114mm Newtonian (#8503) …….................................................
Attach the red dot finder scope to the telescope tube (#1):
First remove the two washers on the tube. Then place the
finder scope 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)
