Instruction Manual
CAUTION: Use care to install batteries in
the orientation indicated by illustration in the
battery slots of the battery holder. 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

WARNING!
Never use the New to nian Telescope to
look at the Sun! Looking at or near the Sun
will cause instant and irreversible damage
to your eye. Eye damage is often painless,
so there is no warning to the observer that
damage has occurred until it is too late. Do
not point the telescope or its viewfinder at
or near the Sun. Do not look through the
telescope or its viewfinder as it is moving.
Children should always have adult supervi-
sion while observing.
