Meade LX-90 Installation Instructions

Introduction
The LX90 telescope is shipped with the LNT module attached.
However, the lens for the SmartFinder is shipped unattached
so that it is not damaged or scratched during transport.
Assembly
1. The lens for the SmartFinder is shipped with a protective
film to protect the lens coating. Do not remove this film
until told to do so in the instructions.
