TABLE OF CONTENTS
NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN WITH THE NAKED EYE OR WITH A
TELESCOPE (UNLESS YOU HAVE THE PROPER SOLAR FILTER).
PERMANENT AND IRREVERSIBLE EYE DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
IF OBSERVING THE SUN (WHILE USING A PROPER SOLAR FILTER)
WITH YOUR TELESCOPE, MAKE SURE THAT THE FINDERSCOPE HAS A
DUST CAP OVER THE OBJECTIVE END OR REMOVE THE
FINDERSCOPE.
NEVER USE YOUR TELESCOPE TO PROJECT AN IMAGE OF THE SUN
ONTO ANY SURFACE. INTERNAL HEAT BUILD-UP CAN DAMAGE THE
TELESCOPE AND ANY ACCESSORIES ATTACHED TO IT.
NEVER USE AN EYEPIECE SOLAR FILTER OR A HERSCHEL WEDGE.
INTERNAL HEAT BUILD-UP INSIDE THE TELESCOPE CAN CAUSE
THESE DEVICES TO CRACK OR BREAK, ALLOWING UNFILTERED
SUNLIGHT TO PASS THROUGH TO THE EYE.
DO NOT LEAVE THE TELESCOPE UNSUPERVISED, EITHER WHEN
CHILDREN ARE PRESENT OR ADULTS WHO MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR
WITH THE CORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURES OF YOUR TELESCOPE.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This instruction manual is applicable to all the models listed on the cover. Follow the
instructions for your specific model in the manual. Flip the booklet over to the
reverse side if your telescope comes with a SynScan AZ GoTo hand control, instead
of a simple tracking SynTrek hand control. Read the entire instructions carefully
before beginning. Your telescope should be assembled during daylight hours.
Choose a large, open area to work to allow room for all parts to be unpacked.
