ALL BUTTONS ARE ILLUMINATED FOR NIGHTTIME USE.

The

 constellation

 Mode Button will allow you to tour many well-known constellations, and will 

give you basic information about each, including tips for finding and navigating by them, as well as 

specific information about special stars or other objects located within them.

The

 Mythology

 Mode Button will allow you to hear about ancient stories and myths revealing why 

the constellations are depicted and named as they are.

The

 amazing facts

 Mode Button provides mind-boggling information related to each constellation, 

including distance to stars, size, and other other interesting information.

The

 Planets

 Mode Button will give you a guided tour of the planets.

Note:

 To get the most out of the Sky Tour (for example the Constellation tour), listen to the entire set 

of information, and then change over to another mode.  Anytime that you switch to another mode, 

you will hear more information, but may miss some from the previous mode unless you continue 

selecting next to hear more until the information begins to be repeated.

pressing any mode button more than once sequentially will advance you to the next tour object in 

that mode.

The handset will power itself off after a certain length of time to conserve battery life.  However, the 

illuminated mount and red dot finderscope must be turned off manually.
