Mounting the Telescope

5

On the tripod, loosen the latitude control knob

and lift up the tilt-plate so that you can easily access
the underside of the plate. Relock the latitude control
knob, so the assembly doesn’t slip while you are
attaching the telescope.

Take the ETX90 from its packaging and line up the
mounting holes on the base of the telescope with the
tripod attachment knobs. Thread both attachment

knobs into the base of the telescope. Tighten to a firm

feel only.

Unlock  the  latitude
control  knob  and
lower  the  tilt-plate
until it is level (push
the  tilt-plate  down
until it stops; this is
the  level  position).
Lock  the  latitude
control knob.

Installing the Batteries

6

Lift the battery cover. Gently remove the battery

holder from the compartment so you don’t accidentally
pull out the wires attached to the holder. Insert 6 user-
supplied “AA” batteries in the holder. Refer to the

diagram on the holder to orient the batteries properly.
Replace the holder back into the battery compartment
and replace the lid.

CAUTION:

Use care to install batteries as indicated by

the battery compartment. Follow battery manufacturer’s
precautions. Do not install batteries backwards or mix
new  and  used  batteries.  Do  not  mix  battery  types.  If
these  precautions  are  not  followed,  batteries  may
explode,  catch  fire,  or  leak.  Improperly  installed
batteries  void  your  Meade  warranty.  Always  remove
the batteries if they will not be used for a long period
of time.

Secure Vertical and Horizontal Locks

7

Tighten (to a “firm feel” only, do not overtighten)

the vertical lock (6) and the horizontal lock (9). See
pages 13-16 for more information.
