Quick Set-up
Note: This is a brief outline for getting started. Please refer to the full manual at
www.iOptron.com for details.
Step 1.
Extend tripod legs to full extension.
Step 2.
Attach mount to tripod using the long bolt (#7). Slide
tray on bottom of shaft. Then screw on round black
knob (#9).
Step 3.
Attach telescope to mount using dovetail lock (#2).
Step 4.
Set telescope to PARK POSITION. (1) Position the
mount so that the “S” is facing south. (2) The telescope
tube should be pointed directly up at the zenith. If it is
not perfectly straight then loosen the altitude lock (#4)
to adjust telescope.
Step 5.
Level the mount using the bubble on side of mount by
adjusting tripod legs. It is also suggested to use
additional levels (such as torpedo levels) to assure very
precise level.
1)South
2)Up

Step 6.
Plug in power plug and hand controller.
Step 7.
Turn on and wait for controller lights to come on.
For SmartStar™G users (with GPS) wait for controller
to say “G_OK”—not “G_ON”. GPS provides Latitude,
Longitude, and current time only.
Note: this photo shows the SmartStar™G hand
controller. The SmartStar® E has the same menu but
with a smaller screen.
Step 8.
Press Menu button.
Go to:
Set up controller. Press ENTER.
Step 9.
Go to:
Set up Local Time (or “Local Time and Site”).
Press ENTER.
Enter date and day-light savings (Y-yes. N-no).
For SmartStar°-E controller a checkmark is “yes”, X is
“no”.
Then press ENTER
(Note: use arrow keys to scroll through screen and select
numbers)
Step 10.
Go to: Set Up Site.
(SmartStar®-E users need to enter longitude and latitude for
their city or town –a simple search online will provide this)
Enter time zone: (add or subtract 60 minutes per time zone)
Enter minutes “behind” UT or “ahead” of UT
•New York City is 300 minutes “behind” UT
•Los Angeles is 480 minutes “behind” UT
•Rome is 60 minutes “ahead” of UT
•Sydney is 600 minutes “ahead” of UT

Step 11. Select and Slew to an object
The mount is now ready to GOTO and track objects.
Go to: Menu>Select and Slew
Press ENTER.
Step 12.
Select a category (ex. “planets, sun, moon”). Then
select an object (ex. “moon”). Then press ENTER.
The telescope will automatically slew to the object and
lock on. It will automatically begin to track once it locks
on to the object.
Step 13. Sync to Target (Use this to center and
synchronize the object from Step 12 into the memory).
Go to: MENU>Sync. To Target. Press ENTER. Next
use the arrow keys to slew to the object until it is
centered in your eyepiece. Then press ENTER again
on the hand controller.
To slew to other objects repeat steps 11 and 12. You
do not need to repeat step 13 except for adjustments.
(Refer to the online manual for 1-star and 2-star alignments.
Sync to Target is the same as 1-star Alignment except that
you choose the object to align to.)
