Installing Batteries for the Light Wand
1. First remove the
horizon ring and
then remove light
wand from base.
2. With a small
Phillips-head
screwdriver,
remove the screw
on the battery cap.
Unscrew battery cap
located at the end
of wand. Gently
shake the wand so
that the battery
module slides out.
3. Insert three (3) AA
batteries into
battery module,
making sure the “+”
and “-” ends are in
correct placement
as indicated.
Alkaline batteries
are recommended.
4. Insert battery
module into light
wand, making sure
the grooves align

battery cap and
Phillips head screw
(do not over-
tighten). Place the
light wand back
into base.
Operating Your Planetarium
1. Place planetarium on a table in the
center of the room. A room with
smooth, light-colored walls and
ceiling works best. A room that is
roughly square and no larger than
12 x 12 feet provides the best
projection quality. Star Theater
works best when it is located two to
six feet from the projection surface.
2. Date selector is located on the
light wand. To set your
planetarium for the beginning of
the audio tour, rotate light wand
until “AUTUMN” lines up with
pointer on the base. (The month and date settings and the time ring will be used after the
audio tour to set your planetarium for a specific date and time of day.)
3. In a darkened room, turn on projection lamp. (Do not look directly at the Star Sphere while its
light is on, or you will lose your darkness adaptation.)
CAUTION: Do not look directly into the light source.
1. Turn planetarium on
its side and, using a
small Phillips-head
screwdriver, remove
the battery cover.
2. Insert three (3) “AAA”
batteries. Make sure
the “+” and “-” ends
are inserted
correctly, as
indicated. Replace
battery cover.
