We constantly improve and update our products. Sometimes, as a result of these improvements,
what is seen on the package, or in the instructions may differ somewhat in color or content from
the product in the package.
Recommended for ages 8+
ASSEMBLY:
1) Carefully remove the components from the box.
2) Spread the Table-Top Tripod Legs out as far as they will go and stand the Tripod
on a firm surface.
3) Now attach the Telescope Tube to the tripod with the Mount Attachment Bolt and
nut. Tighten finger tight only. The Telescope Tube should be free to be angled up
or down for aiming.
4) The Focus Tube has a small screw inserted into it. Loosen this screw enough that
you can slide the Diagonal Mirror into the opening. Gently tighten the screw to
hold the Diagonal Mirror in position.
5) There are three eyepieces with this telescope. They are marked 30X, 40X and
50X. This means that when you use the 30X eyepiece objects will appear 30
times closer than how you normally see them with your eyes. The eyepieces
marked 40X and 50X make objects appear 40 or 50 times closer.
To begin, start with the 30X eyepiece. You will have to loosen the small screw on
the Diagonal Mirror enough so that the eyepiece slides easily into position. Then
retighten the screw just enough to keep the eyepiece from falling out.
Your telescope is now ready for use.

USING YOUR TELESCOPE:
WARNING!
Do not aim your telescope at the sun, or anywhere near the sun! Instant and
irreversible damage can occur, including blindness!
Do not let children use any telescope without adult supervision at any time
the sun is above the horizon.
Take your telescope outdoors. If you try to look through a window from indoors you will
probably see an unsharp image caused by flaws in the window glass.
Always start your observing sessions with the 30X eyepiece, only changing to the 40X
or 50X eyepieces when you really need the extra magnification. The 30X eyepiece will
give you a brighter image.
If you take your telescope outdoors at night you can aim it at the Moon and study the
many craters, mountain ranges and valleys. The view of the Moon is constantly
changing because the shadows cast by our Sun on the surface of the Moon, and are
different every night.
You can also look for any bright points of light that look like big steadily glowing stars.
They are probably the planets Venus, Jupiter, Saturn or Mars. They are very far away
and will not show very much detail, but they are fun to observe.
When you are finished with your telescope, carefully store it away so it will be ready for
your next observing adventure.
WARNING! CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts. Not suitable for children
