Step 5. Attaching Telescope
Attach telescope to mount using the dovetail lock knob (#2).
Step 6. Attaching Optics
Attaching the red dot finder scope (#6) 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)
Insert the eyepiece: Remove the supplied K 25mm eyepiece (#7) from
its container and slide it into the open end of eyepiece holder. Tighten
the thumbscrews to a firm feel only.
Remove the round dust cover lid from the end of telescope.
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 lower power eyepiece (such as the
K25mm eyepiece) to get a wider field of view. Later on you can change
to higher powers. (Eyepieces of higher powers have narrower field of
views; it’s more difficult to locate objects using high-power eyepieces.)
Step 7. Connecting Hand Controller
Plug hand controller into any one of the HBX (handbox) ports 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 speed from the slowest (2X) to the
fastest (MAX).
