Assemble
Instructions
This NAOJ Telescope kit requires
some assembly. Follow these
instructions to complete the
telescope and observe many
kinds of celestial objects.
  Precautions
This kit includes a small screwdriver, the only tool necessary for assembly.
This kit contains several very small parts. Be careful not to drop or lose any parts.
This kit contains optical lenses. Handle the lenses with care to avoid damaging or dirtying
them. Scratches or stains on the translucent surfaces of the lenses may interfere with
detailed observations.
 If the surfaces do become dirty, clean them gently with a cleaner for cameras or eyeglasses
in order to avoid scratching them.
This kit does NOT contain a tripod for telescope observations. The telescope can be mounted
to most still/video camera tripods.
For your own safety and the safety of the telescope, please read the Important Notes at the
end of this document before using.
Adult supervision is strongly suggested for children when using the telescope.
Warning Indications about Product Liability
Please read this section with your parent or teacher.
  WARNING
NEVER observe the Sun with this telescope. Extremely strong sunlight can cause serious
damage to your eyes, possibly inducing permanent blindness.
Do NOT put this telescope in direct sunshine. It could accidentally focus the Sun's rays and
start a fire.
