Meade LNT SmartFinder Installation Instructions

Introduction

The ETX-PE Series 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.
First peel back the film from just the "tongue" of the
SmartFinder lens. See Fig. A.
