Equipment and System
Requirements
To charge your telescope's battery, you will need:
• An AC outlet to use with the supplied AC power adapter. (The
adapter works with US, UK, EU, and AU format AC outlets.)
If you would like to use the telescope's wireless control feature
in lieu of the provided StarSense hand control, you will need:
• An Apple device running iOS 7.0 or later OR an Android device
running Android 4.0 or later.
• The Celestron SkyPortal app (available as a free download on
the App Store and Google Play).
Solar Warning
• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or
with a telescope (unless you have the proper solar fi lter).
Permanent and irreversible eye damage may result.
• Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun onto
any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the telescope
and any accessories attached to it.
• Never use an eyepiece solar fi lter or a Herschel wedge.
Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause these
devices to crack or break, allowing unfi ltered sunlight to pass
through to the eye.
• Never leave the telescope unsupervised. Make sure an adult
who is familiar with the correct operating procedures is with
your telescope at all times, especially when children are present.

the battery should last thousands of charge cycles without the
need to replace it. To benefi t from the maximum battery life,
note the following recommendations:
• Charge the battery to full as soon as you receive the telescope.

an FCC and CE certifi ed 12VDC power supply with at least
2 Amperes of current.
