Assembly

Please read the entire instruction sheet before using your Laser Collimator.

Meade's Laser Collimator simplifies the collimation process. Collimation is a method to align your telescope's optics. Your

telescope is aligned at the factory, but shipping and handling can sometimes misalign collimation. Misaligned collimation can

mean dimmer and blurrier images in your telescope eyepiece. Your instruction manual describes how to collimate your

telescope. Meade's Laser Collimator provides a simpler, second method of collimation.

Be aware of the following as you use your Laser Collimator:

Only turn on your laser when you are going to use it.

All lasers use up battery power very quickly and have short battery life.

When you turn on the laser, only turn the "on screw" until the laser turns on. Do not overtighten this screw! Overtightening may

damage the collimator.

Note the small "doughnut" attached to your telescope's primary mirror. The doughnut is attached to help you perform alignment

with the Laser Collimator. When you insert the Laser Collimator into your eyepiece and turn it on, the pinpoint of laser light will

normally be close to or on top of this doughnut. However, if it is any distance away from the doughnut, perform the collimation

procedure described in your LightBridge instruction manual before you use the method described below.

DANGER: Invisible laser radiation. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
