IMPORTANT NOTE!
Before each observation you should make sure that the tilting mirror is in the "UP" position
(14, Fig. 2). For further information please refer to chapter "Operating the tilting mirror"
on page 11.
Assembling the MCX Telescope
To operate the MCX, you need an additional eight AA batteries - the assembly takes place
in just four steps:
1. Mount the LED viewfinder using the Allen key as shown in Fig. 8 shown on telescope
tube.
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Make sure that the mirror surface of the LED viewfinder points towards the tube opening
when attaching it.
For more information on the orientation of the viewfinder, refer to chapter "Use - The LED
Viewfinder".
2. Insert the SP 26mm eyepiece (1, fig. 2) into the eyepiece socket (4, fig. 2). Tighten the
clamping screw (3, fig. 2) to touch tightness (do not overtighten).
3. The battery compartment of the telescope (6, fig. 9) is located at the bottom of the
base motor housing. Bring the telescope, as pictured in Fig. 9, into a secure lateral
position. Simultaneously press the two retaining clips (4, fig. 9) and open the battery
compartment. Lift the battery compartment cover (5, fig. 9) from the base housing.
Now insert the eight AA batteries into the battery compartment, observing their +/-
orientation, which is indicated on the battery compartment base.
Alternatively, use the recommended power supply unit (art. no. 0455121). Connect it to
the female 12V jack socket connector (4, fig. 10) found on the side panel.
WARNING!
Insert the batteries with the great care! Do not insert the batteries upside down, do not mix
old and new batteries and only use batteries of the same type. Do not use rechargeable
batteries! If these precautions are not followed, or if batteries (even single ones and only
for a short time) are inserted the wrong way round, irreversible damage may occur to the
MCX itself, which is not covered by the telescope’s warranty! Further damage caused by
leaking, heating, possibly burning or bursting batteries, cannot be covered by the warranty
either!
4. Place the telescope upright on a table. Make sure that the power supply switch on the
side panel (1, fig. 10) is in the OFF position. Connect the coiled cable of the handheld
computer to the HBX socket (3, fig. 10).
The assembly of the MCX telescope is now complete. Now the assembly on the field
tripod follows.
