Preparation
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Your Star Navigator requires three AAA bat-
teries (not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recom-
mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
1. While holding down the tab on the bat-
tery compartment cover, pull the cover
up to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols
(+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
After you install the batteries, the Star Navi-
gator turns itself on and JAN (January) ap-
pears, indicating it is ready to set up.
When the display dims or the Star Navigator
stops operating properly, wait about 1 minute
for the Star Navigator to turn off, then replace
the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the Star
Navigator for a month or more, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
TURNING ON THE
STAR NAVIGATOR
Press any button to turn on the Star Naviga-
tor. To save power, your Star Navigator auto-
matically turns itself off if you do not press
any button for about 1 minute.
Note: Your Star Navigator does not turn it-
self off during setup or if any of its rotational
or directional indicators are on.
SELECTING A LATITUDE
To calibrate your Star Navigator, select the
latitude of your location from one of these
maps, then write it down. For example, if you
live in Colorado, your latitude is 40.
North America

Preparation
Note: If your location is not shown on the
maps, choose the closest latitude to your lo-
cation. If your location lies between any two
latitudes, choose either latitude.
SELECTING A TIME
CORRECTION ZONE
The time zone in which you reside can affect
your observations. To calibrate your Star
Navigator, select the time correction zone for
your location from one of these maps, then
write it down. For example, if you live in
Ohio, your time correction zone is M. Note: If your location is not shown on the
maps, choose the closest time correction
zone to your location. If your location lies be-
tween any two time correction zones, choose
either zone.

Operation
SELECTING AN
OBSERVATION LOCATION
The best way to observe celestial objects is
outdoors on a clear night, away from sources
of bright light. Select a location that is in an
open area with good overall visibility, without
too many trees or buildings nearby, and
away from metal and magnetic material.
Warning: Never look directly at the sun.
Tips for Better Star
g
azin
g
• Wait at least 5–10 minutes after you first
go outside to view celestial objects, to
give your eyes time to adjust to the
reduced light.
• If your location is extremely dark, you
might need a source of light to help you
operate the Star Navigator. Use a small
flashlight or penlight, with a red filter or a
piece of clear red plastic over the light
source. The red light helps preserve
your ability to see at night.
• You might not be able to see all the
objects shown on the star maps at your
location due to factors such as weather,
atmospheric conditions, and your prox-
imity to “light pollution” such as city
lights, automobile headlights, or even a
full moon.
• Planets are generally bright and do not
twinkle as much as stars, offering a
steadier light.
• The first few times you use your Star
Navigator, find the brightest stars and
most recognizable constellations first.
Then look for distinctive patterns. This
can help you locate some of the harder-
to-see constellations.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshootin
g
REDUCING COMPASS
INACCURACY
The magnetic variations that naturally occur
at different locations on earth can affect your
Star Navigator’s compass readings, making
it more difficult to find celestial objects. If you
have trouble finding celestial objects, use the
maps shown in “Selecting a Magnetic Cor-
rection Zone” on Page 13 to find the adjust-
ment (if any) you must take to find the correct
direction in which to stand to view celestial
objects.
Selectin
g
a Ma
g
netic Correction
Zone
Each magnetic zone map is divided into
three parts – LED, TURN LEFT, and TURN
RIGHT.
If your location lies within a part of the map
labeled LED in the maps on the right, you
should not need to make any corrections for
magnetic variations. Face in the direction of
the object you want to find as closely as pos-
sible, then simply turn your body until the
compass’ arrow points directly to the flashing
directional indicator.
If your location lies within a part of the map
labeled TURN LEFT, you must make a cor-
rection for magnetic variations. Turn your
body until the compass’ arrow points directly
at the flashing directional indicator. Then turn
your body slightly to the left so the compass’
needle points to the I indicator.
If your location lies within a part of the map
labeled TURN RIGHT, turn your body until
the compass’ arrow points directly at the
flashing directional indicator. Then turn your
body slightly to the right so the compass’
needle points to the II indicator.
Note: Your Star Navigator’s compass is de-
signed so the letter closest to you (in the six
o’clock position) indicates the direction you
are facing.

14 Troubleshooting
Note: If your location is not shown on the
maps, choose the closest magnetic correc-
tion zone to your location. If your location lies
between any two magnetic correction zones,
choose either zone.
CARE
Keep the Star Navigator dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the
Star Navigator only in normal temperature
environments. Handle the Star Navigator
carefully; do not drop it. Keep the Star Navi-
gator away from dust and dirt, and wipe it
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the Star Naviga-
tor’s internal components can cause a mal-
function and might invalidate its warranty. If
your Star Navigator is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store
for assistance.
