Attach the coiled cables – iOptron SmartStar -PR EQ User Manual
Page 10

Both screws push the Peg on the Tripod Head. This means you have to loosen one screw 
when tightening the other. The screw that holds the equatorial mount to the tripod may 
have to be loosened slightly too. 
 
Keep in mind that adjusting the mount is done during the polar alignment process only. 
Once polar aligned, the mount should NOT be moved. Pointing the telescope to a target 
is done by moving the mount in right ascension and declination as described earlier in 
this manual.
 
 
Attach the Coiled Cables
There are two Port B’s which are equivalent. 
There are three Port A’s which are equivalent to 
each other, too. 
 
Use one of the coiled cables to connect one Port A
and one Port B. Plug the cable from the 8401 
controller to one of the Port A’s. Extra ports are 
reserved for other future accessories. 
 
Now plug in the AC adapter, or DC adapter, and 
turn on the power. 
 
If you R.A. and DEC motors are not installed on 
the mount, please refer to the installation
