Using The Solar Filter CAUTION: NEVER look through your telescope at or near the Sun until the solar filter is securely installed at the front of the telescope. Please read the following instructions fully and keep them in mind when observing the Sun. Always use caution when viewing at or near the Sun. Adult Supervision is required. Inspecting the Solar Filter: All filters are checked carefully before shipment. However, as the solar filter material is delicate, be sure to check for any damage prior to each use. STEP 1: Before installing the solar filter, hold the solar filter up to the sky away from the Sun or use a standard 60 to 100 watt light bulb. STEP 2: Examine the filter for any pin holes, scratches, tears, or signs the filter material has separated from its holder. If any damage is seen, do not use the solar filter. Replacement will be required. Installing the Solar Filter: The solar filter is pre-installed at our factory to allow use right out of the box. However, if the solar filter is removed from the telescope make sure to reinstall the filter before looking at or near the Sun. To Step 1. 13 12
