[. . . ] Instruction Sheet
Laser Collimator
For use with Meade's LightBridge Telescopes Assembly
Please read the entire instruction sheet before using your Laser Collimator. Your telescope is aligned at the factory, but shipping and handling can sometimes misalign collimation. [. . . ] 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. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation.
STEP 1:
Remove the eyepiece or eyepiece cap from the telescope.
STEP 2:
Point the laser downward. Do not overtighten this screw.
STEP 3:
Insert the laser collimator into the eyepie holder. Orient the window on the side of the collimator so that it is pointing towards the bottom of the telescope. Tighten the collimator in place using the eyepiece holder thumbscrew.

STEP 4:
Standing at the side of the telescope, check out the primary mirror and look for the laser pinpoint. If the laser pinpoint is not near or on the "doughnut" attached to the mirror, remove the laser collimator and use the collimation method described in your LightBridge telescope manual. If the pinpoint is very near or on the doughnut, proceed to step 5.
STEP 5:
Using a Philips head screwdriver, adjust the one, two or all three tilt screws on the secondary mirror holder until the the laser pinpoint is in the center of the doughnut. [. . . ] Note that you will have to loosen one or all of the locking screws to tighten or loosen the collimation screws.
