6. Eyepiece
Remove one eyepiece from its eyepiece holder (6) and slide it into the eyepiece
connection (3). Tighten the holding screws (No. 5). Start with the lowest
magnification eyepiece, which has the highest focal length printed on it (e.g.
20 mm or 25 mm, depending on your model) to locate objects and find the
correct focus. If you have the object you want to view centred in the field of
view, switch to a higher magnification by using an eyepiece with shorter focal
length. After changing the eyepiece, it might be necessary to adjust the focus
again (see section 8).
7. Dust cover
Remove the dust cover (15) that protects the objective lens of the optical tube
opening (2).
8. Focus wheel
To get objects into focus, your telescope is equipped with a precise focus con-
trol. When you use the telescope for the first time, you might need to turn the
focus wheel (4) multiple times to achieve a focused image. To try it out, pick a
landmark or a building far away in daylight or bright twilight, and turn the focus
wheel until the object comes into focus. Remember, objects to be observed
cannot be closer than 20 metres away.
9. LED viewfinder (only included with 90-62100)
The telescope with Art. No. 90-62100 is equipped with a LED viewfinder (10).
The LED viewfinder projects a red dot on the visor to help you point at objects.
For the first use, remove the plastic cover on the battery so the LED can be
switched on. To use the viewfinder, you need to align the finder to the telescope
optic. To achieve this, point the telescope at a landmark or building that is a few
hundred metres away and centre this object in the field of view while using an
eyepiece with a low magnification (e.g. 20 mm or 25 mm). Switch on the LED
viewfinder and adjust it using the alignment screws of the viewfinder.
Part II – Handbox
1. Batteries
Remove the cover of the battery compartment (11), located on the top side of
the mount's base, and insert the batteries in the battery holder (No. 2). Use 6
AA batteries and make sure the polarities are aligned correctly. Place the holder
into the compartment and cover it. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
2. Handbox
Ensure that the on/off switch is in the off position (No. 8). Remove the handbox
from the handbox tray (7), and plug one end of the cable into the port labelled
with "HBX" and the other one into the RJ-45 port of the handbox. Flip the switch
to the on position. The handbox display should light up, accompanied by a
sound.
3. Setup
Time and Date
After turning on the handbox, you will be prompted to enter the date and time.
Do so by navigating with the arrow keys and entering the numbers with the
12
number pad (7) on the handbox. When done, press the centre key (5), located
between the arrow keys.

OTA (Optical Tube Assembly) Zero
Here you will be asked to provide the orientation of the telescope.
In the 'Azi:' field, enter '000'.
In the 'Alt:' field, enter '00'.
Open the Altitude and Azimuthal locking knobs. Adjust the telescope so that the
tube opening (2) is pointing directly north and is level. It is recommended that
you use the included compass (18) and bubble level to make sure the device is
positioned accurately. You can put the compass into the eyepiece connection
(3). Then retighten the locking knobs.
