CHAPTER 2 - QUICK SETUP
This section is intended to help the new user get the Ultima 2000 up and running, in the altazimuth configuration,
immediately after assembly. To assemble the telescope, refer to the chapter entitled “Assembling your Ultima 2000”.
There are two steps required to become familiar with the Ultima 2000’s operations. First, use the telescope indoors to get
acquainted with all the controls and second, use the telescope under the night sky to find objects. This section covers
both.
Getting Familiar - Indoor Use
This section will show you how to navigate through the user interface of the Ultima 2000. The interface has four buttons
that allow you to run the Ultima 2000 hand control software. One is the MENU button which will bring you back to the
main menu. The other three are the control buttons named ENTER, UP, and DOWN. The control buttons can act on any
item that is blinking on the display screen. When you turn the telescope on, the first screen that appears is MENU
ALIGN. You will notice the “A” in ALIGN is blinking. This indicates that you can use the control buttons on this item
(Note : In this document, bold text represents a blinking character on the display). This section will also show you how to
Slew the telescope.
