Start by removing the telescope from its shipping carton and setting the round base on a flat table or surface. It is best to
carry the telescope by holding it from the lower portion of the fork arm and from the bottom of the base. Do not try to move
the optical tube at this time. It should remain facing down until the telescope is powered up . Remove all of the
accessories from their individual boxes. Remember to save all of the containers so that they can be used to transport the
telescope. Before attaching the visual accessories, the telescope tube should be positioned horizontal to the ground. To do
this, the telescope needs to be powered up and the optical tube must be moved remotely with the hand control.

The NexStar can be powered by the supplied 12v AC adapter or eight AA batteries (not included). Batteries should only
be used when using the telescope out in the field, where AC power is not available. The battery compartment is located in
the center of the telescope's base (see figure 3-1). Before the battery compartment can be removed, the telescope tube must
first be moved into a horizontal position. Read the Hand Control section below before installing batteries.
To power the NexStar with the 12v AC adapter, simply plug the round post into the 12v outlet on the side of the fork arm
and plug the adapter into any wall outlet.
To install the batteries:
1.
Remove the battery cover from the center of the base by gently lifting up on the round portion of the cover.
2.
Insert the batteries into the battery compartment of the base.
3.
Reattach the battery compartment door by gently pushing down on the cover until it snaps into place.
4.
Turn on the power to the NexStar by flipping the switch, located next to the 12v outlet, to the "On" position.
Figure 3-1: The NexStar can be powered by either an AC adapter or with AA batteries.
