Quick Setup
1. Setup tripod: Expand the tripod legs. Put the Accessory Tray onto the Tripod Support Bracket. Slightly push
down Accessory Tray while turn it, until the tray is locked into the Tripod Support Bracket. (Figure 1). Adjust the
tripod height by unlocking and re-locking the tripod leg screws (not shown) to a desired height. Position the
tripod so that the Alignment Peg faces north, if you are in Northern Hemisphere (Figure 2).

The Alignment Peg may be moved to the opposite position if used at latitude lower than 20º to avoid
counterweights hit the tripod leg.
2. Attach the SmartEQ
mount: Remove the Latitude Adjustment Screw from its Storage Position by unscrewing it
all the way out (Figure 3). Retract the Azimuth Adjustment Knobs to allow enough clearance for the Alignment
Peg seating in the house. Tighten the Azimuth Lock to secure the mount (Figure 4).
