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.
2.
Insert the tongue into the SmartFinder slot. Angle the
tongue towards the front of the LNT module as you slide
it into place. See
Fig. B.
3.
You may need to wiggle the lens/tongue a bit to slide the
tongue into place. You will hear it “click” in place. See
Fig. C. for a view of the underside of the LNT. Notice
that the tongue has slid in over the small plastic molded
post.
4.
Remove the remainder of the plastic film from the lens,
but avoid touching the lens as you do so—you may
scratch the lens or leave fingerprints.
