1. Load the map so the black arrow (be-
tween the 6 AM and 5 AM time labels) is
directly under the letter indicated. Press
SELECT.
The LCD displays:
BE SURE MAP __ IS LOADED FACE UP.
THEN PRESS SELECT.
2. Keep Space Navigator level with the
ground and pointing straight ahead in the
direction you are facing. Turn your body
until the compass arrow points to the indi-
cated letter. Press SELECT.
You are now facing in the proper direc-
tion. The LCD tells you how high in the
sky to look.
NOTES:
• Press the BACK key to repeat the height
if you miss it.
• If a planet is in or near a constellation on
this map, the LCD displays (for example):
VENUS IS NOT SHOWN ON MAP.
LOOK IN OR NEAR AQUARIUS.
3. Donʼt move your body or change the di-
rection you are facing. Look LOW, MID,
or HIGH in the sky—as indicated by
Space Navigator.
After a short pause, the LCD displays a
Help Tip indicating which objects on the
map to look for first.
After another short pause, a list of objects
on the current map will be displayed.
NOTE: Press the HELP key at any time
to re-display the Help Tip for a moment.
Your illuminated map will match the sky. By comparing the
map to the sky, you will be able to find what you are looking
for.
You can press the INFO key to display information about an
object underlined on the LCD. When finished viewing an area
of the sky, replace the map in the storage compartment with the
odd-numbered side facing out. Remember to press the BACK
key to exit the list of map objects to return to the main list of
objects.
IDENTIFYING OBJECTS IN THE SKY
When you see something in the sky you want to
identify, move the up and down keys until
IDENTIFY is underlined on the main menu. Then
press SELECT. Space Navigator will guide you
through the following steps:
NOTE: Pressing the BACK key is the only way to
exit the list and return to the IDENTIFY function.
STEP ACTION
1.
The LCD displays:
FACE THE OBJECT THAT YOU WANT
TO IDENTIFY. PRESS SELECT.
Hold Space Navigator flat in front of you
and point it in the direction of the object(s)
you want to identify. Press SELECT.
2. The LCD displays:
THE COMPASS ARROW POINTS TO:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX
Note the letter that the compass arrow is
pointing to. Press the UP/DOWN keys
until that letter is underlined. Then press
SELECT.
3. The LCD displays:
THE HEIGHT OF THE OBJECT IN THE
SKY IS: LOW MID HIGH
Press the UP/DOWN keys until the under-
lined height in the sky matches the height
in the sky that the object(s) seems to be.
Then press SELECT.
4. The LCD displays:
REMOVE MAP __. THEN PRESS
SELECT.
NOTE: From this point on, the operation will now
be familiar to you. Load the proper map correctly.
Once you can find the key objects on a map, you can
use them to locate the other labeled objects on the
map, including the object that you want to identify.
Planets are (usually) bright objects that
look like stars. Because the planets move
through the constellations, they are no
shown on your maps.
FINDING THE OBJECT: Now it takes just three
short steps to find the object!
