top of the motorized base. Push the connector into the outlet until it clicks into place and place the hand control into its holder as
described previously in the
Assembly
section of the manual.

The LCM can be powered by 8 user supplied AA size alkaline batteries or an optional 12V AC adapter. To install batteries into the
LCM:
1.
Press the tab on the front of the battery compartment and remove the cover.
2.
Gently remove the battery holder from inside the battery compartment.
3.
Place 8-AA batteries (user supplied) inside the battery holder.
4.
Return the battery holder back inside the base and replace the cover.
5.
Flip the power switch to the “On” position. The light on the power button and hand control should come on.
In case of a loss of power, the optical tube can be moved by hand in altitude (up and down) only. However, when powered on, the
telescope should always be controlled via the hand control. The telescope will lose its star alignment if moved by hand when
powered on.
