CHANGING THE VIEWFINDER BATTERY
If the viewfinder red dot does not illuminate,
verify the viewfinder is on by rotating the
power switch (Fig 1, 15) below the viewfinder
lens clockwise. If the red dot does not
illuminate, the battery may need replacing.
To replace the battery, press the left side of
the viewfinder housing labeled “push”. The
battery compartment will slide out on the right
side of the viewfinder (see Fig. 15). Replace
the battery with a Lithium CR2032 battery
with the positive side up. Then push the
battery compartment back into the viewfinder
and power on.
• With the star testing of the collimation
complete, tighten the 3 slotted-head
primary mirror locking screws (Fig. 10,
2)
Meade also sells a Laser Collimator accessory
that will simplify collimation of the optics. This
device works by shining a red laser onto
the optics and viewing the reflected light. If
the reflected light beam is not centered on
the device, it can be easily adjusted using
the telescope adjustments until the beam is
centered.
