WARNING! Never use a Meade® ETX90 telescope to look at the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun will cause instant and irreversible damage to your eye. Eye damage is often painless, so there is no warning to the observer that damage has occurred until it is too late. Do not point the telescope at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope or Red Dot Finder as it is moving. Children should always have adult supervision while observing. BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: • Always purchase the correct size and grade of battery: 6 x "AA-type" Alkaline batteries (ANSI 15A, 15AC/ IEC LR6). • Always replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new ones, or batteries of different types. • Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. • Ensure the batteries are installed correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -). • Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time. • Remove used batteries promptly. • Never attempt to recharge primary batteries as this may cause leakage, fire, or explosion. • Never short-circuit batteries as this may lead to high temperatures, leakage, or explosion. • Never heat batteries in order to revive them. • Remember to switch off devices after use. • Keep batteries out of the reach of children; small batteries may be ingested. • Seek medical advice immediately if a battery has been swallowed. Caution: If batteries or parts are swallowed, see a doctor immediately.
