.model .10N-AZ:
1. . Remove .the .nuts .from .the .studs .where .the .RedDot .Finderscope .will .mount.
2. . Mount .the .RedDot .Finderscope .bracket .by .placing .the .bracket .over .the .studs .protruding .from .the .
tube .and .tightening .it .down .with .the .supplied .nuts. .Orient .the .RedDot .Finderscope .so .that .the .
sight .tube .is .facing .towards .the .front .of .the .tube.
RedDot Finderscope Operation
The .RedDot .Finderscope .is .powered .by .a .long .life .-Volt .lithium .battery .(#CR202) .located .underneath .
the .front .portion .of .the .RedDot .Finderscope. .Like .all .finderscopes, .the .RedDot .Finderscope .must .be .
properly .aligned .with .the .main .telescope .before .it .can .be .used. .This .is .a .simple .process .using .the .azimuth .
and .altitude .control .knobs .located .on .the .side .and .bottom .of .the .RedDot .Finderscope. .The .alignment .
procedure .is .best .done .at .night .since .the .LED .dot .will .be .difficult .to .see .during .the .day. .Note: .Before .
using .the .RedDot .Finderscope, .you .must .first .remove .the .protective .plastic .cover .over .the .battery. .
1. . To .turn .on .the .RedDot .Finderscope, .rotate .the .variable .brightness .control .clockwise .until .you .here .
a .“click”. .To .increase .the .brightness .level .of .the .red .dot, .continue .rotating .the .control .knob .about .
180º .until .it .stops. .
Remember to remove the plastic cover over the battery, and always turn the power off after you have
found an object. This will extend the life of both the battery and the LED.
2. . Locate .a .bright .star .or .planet .and .center .it .in .a .low .power .eyepiece .in .the .main .telescope.
. . With .both .eyes .open, .look .through .the .glass .window .at .the .alignment .star.
.
If .the .RedDot .Finderscope .is .perfectly .aligned, .you .will .see .the .red .LED .dot .overlap .the .alignment .
star. .If .the .RedDot .Finderscope .is .not .aligned, .take .notice .of .where .the .red .dot .is .relative .to .the .
bright .star.
4. . Without .moving .the .main .telescope, .turn .the .RedDot .Finderscope’s .azimuth .and .altitude .alignment .
controls .until .the .red .dot .is .directly .over .the .alignment .star. .
If . the . LED . dot . is . brighter . than . the . alignment . star, . it . may . make . it . difficult . to . see . the . star. . Turn . the .
variable .brightness .control .counterclockwise, .until .the .red .dot .is .the .same .brightness .as .the .alignment .
star. .This .will .make .it .easier .to .get .an .accurate .alignment. .The .RedDot .Finderscope .is .now .ready .to .be .
used.
