other hand, pull directly “up” on the central hub of the extension strut system. This

operation will cause the tripod legs to move inward to a collapsed position.

Notes Concerning the Tripod:

If the tripod does not seem to extend or collapse easily, do not force the

tripod legs in or out. By following the instructions above, the tripod

will function properly, but if you are unclear on the proper procedure,

forcing the tripod into an incorrect position may damage the extension

strut system.

Do not overtighten the 6 lock-knobs used to fix the inner tripod leg sections

at various heights. Tighten to a firm feel only.

Be sure the spreader bar (4, Fig. 3) is not upside-down on the threaded

rod.

How to Assemble Your Telescope

Assembly of the LX200R telescope requires eight C-cell (user-supplied) batteries or the

optional #547 Power Adapter with Cable connected to a standard 115v home outlet or to

an optional #607 Cigarette Lighter Adapter (see

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES, page 45).

Plug an adapter into the 12vDC In port of the computer control panel (13B, Fig. 1).

To install batteries:

1. Position the optical tube: Turn the Dec. lock (17, Fig. 1) counterclockwise to

unlock the the optical tube (19, Fig. 1) and move it through the fork arms. Move

the optical tube to the position depicted in Fig. 1 and turn the Dec. lock clockwise

to a firm feel to relock the position of the optical tube.

2. Install batteries: Remove the battery compartment covers (8, Fig. 1) and care-

fully remove the battery holders, being mindful of the connector wires. Insert four

user-supplied C-cell batteries into each battery holder, oriented as shown on the

diagram on the battery slots inside the battery holder. Return the battery holders

to their respective compartments and replace the covers. (See Fig. 5.)

3. Plug in the AutoStar II handbox: Be certain that the power switch on the com-

puter control panel (13A, Fig. 1) is in the OFF position. Plug the coil cord of the

AutoStar II handbox into the HBX port (13F, Fig. 1

Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversible damage to your eye. Do not point this telescope

at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.

Caution:

Use care to install batteries

as indicated by the battery

compartment. Follow bat-

tery manufacturer's pre-

cautions. Do not install bat-

teries backwards or mix

new and used batteries. Do

not mix battery types. If

these precautions are not

followed, batteries may

explode, catch fire, or leak.

Improperly installed batter-

ies void your Meade war-

ranty. Always remove the

batteries if they are not to

be used for a long period

of time.

Note:

The microfocuser is

shipped with the microfo-

cuser adapter (B) threaded

to the SC accessory

adapter (L). Unthread the

adapters from each other

before attaching the micro-

focuser.

Tip:

Although you can set up

the telescope to face any

direction to perform

Automatic Alignment, you

will achieve optimal per-

formance when the com-

puter control panel faces

South.
