ALIGNING NORTHSTAR FOR THE FIRST TIME
(NOTE:
Make certain that the telescope is set up on a level surface.)
STEP 1:
Before turning the telescope on, remove the remote control handset. When you turn the telescope on, a spoken and
scrolling welcome message will be heard and seen as:

(the version number of the operating software)
Following this message, the telescope will execute a diagnostic check and level the telescope tube in relation to the telescope
mount.
Then the default menu will appear:
SELECT MODE
ALIGN EARTH
56
The ALIGN EARTH mode assumes that even if the telescope user is a first time user and does not know anything about
astronomy that they can be successful aligning the telescope in a few simple steps.
Another option is the "ALIGN STAR"

format) and time zone are set. Note: "_ST" indicates Standard Time and "_DT" indicates Daylight savings Time.
STEP 3:
SET THE DATE
Again by using the SCROLL UP and SCROLL DOWN buttons and the ENTER button, the date can easily be set.
Each
flashing option will need to be changed to read the appropriate number or month. Once the appropriate number is
displayed, accept the number by pressing ENTER. Then set the next flashing option until the day, month and year are
set.
