Battery installation

Only adults should insert or replace the batteries.

1. Twist and open the battery compartment door at the bottom.
2. Remove the battery cover with a screwdriver.
3. Insert three AA batteries into the unit with polarity as indicated on the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery cover and battery door.
5. Replace the batteries when the light becomes dim.

Setting up the planetarium

1. Place the unit over the stand (10) on a flat and stable platform (e.g. a table). The optimal projection distance is about 1.8 m to 2 m.
2. Press the Star disc tray eject button (5) to open the tray and install the star disc (11). Note that the keys on the disc have to match the ridges on the tray.
3. While the Star disc tray is still opened, set the time and date of the night sky you want to view by aligning the desired date on date dial with the desired hour on the time scale.

Example 1:
If you want to see the star pattern at midnight (00:00) on 7 July, align 00:00 on the time scale with 7 July. The 7 of July is between the 6 and the 8.

Example 2:
If you want to see the starry sky at 22:30 (10:30 p.m.) on 30 December, align 22:30 on the time scale with 30 December, as shown in the figure below. A small line represents 3 days.

4. Close the tray. Place the unit, facing to the north. You can use the Rotate left (4) or Rotate right button
   (3) while the unit is turned on. Please do not turn the date dial when the tray is closed. You first need to open the tray if you want to change the date again.

5. Press the On/Stop/Off switch (1) once to turn on the projector light. Dim or turn off the light in the room for the best visual experience. Note that the unit cannot be turned on when the tray is opened.

6. You can freely adjust the projection angle of the projection head over the Stand (10) to enable viewing on the ceiling or wall (Fig. 2).

7. Adjust the Focus dial (9) until the projected star field is in focus (Fig. 1). The optimal projection distance is 1.8 m to 2 m. The image will blur if the distance is too near or too far.

Using the star motion function

1. Press the Rotate left button (4) to rotate the night sky anticlockwise, which is the motion of the stars in the Northern Hemisphere. Press the button again to increase the rotation speed. Five selectable speeds are available. Each button push will select the next higher speed. The Rotate left button (4) will blink according to the speed. Press the “On/Stop/Off” button to stop.
2. Similarly, press the Rotate right button (3) to rotate the stars clockwise, which is the motion of the stars in the Southern Hemisphere. Five selectable speeds are available.

Using the falling star function
When the night sky is rotating, press the Falling star button (6) to enable the falling star function.
A falling star will appear in the night sky at regular intervals. It will appear more frequently if the rotating speed is set higher. Press the same button again to disable the falling star function.

Using the sleep timer function
Press the Sleep timer button (2) to enable the sleep timer. The corresponding LED indicator will show the currently selected timer (30 or 60 minutes). To disable the sleep timer, press the timer button until both timer indicator lights are off. However, the projector will still turn off automatically in 2 hours to save battery life.

Powering off
Press and hold the On/Stop/Off (1) button to turn off the unit.

Using the multimedia speaker
Connect a music player’s audio output or smartphone’s earphone output to the Audio-in connector (20) at the back of the unit. Turn the speaker on or off by pressing and holding the Speaker On/Off button (12) for 1 second. If the planetarium is in radio mode, press the Mode (AUX/Radio) button (15) to change to speaker mode. Adjust the volume by pressing and holding the Vol+/Vol- buttons (13, 14). Switch between radio mode and speaker mode by pressing the Mode (AUX/Radio) button (15).

Using the FM radio
Turn the speaker on or off by pressing and holding the Speaker On/Off button (12) for 1 second. If the Audio-in connector (20) is unplugged, the planetarium will enter radio mode automatically.
If the Audio-in connector (20) is connected, select radio mode by pressing the Mode (AUX/Radio) button (15). Press the On/Off button (12) once to start searching and saving the preset radio stations automatically. When search is completed, it will return to the first preset station. Select other preset radio stations by briefly pressing the CH+/CH- (Vol+/Vol-) buttons (13, 14). Adjust the volume by pressing and holding the CH+/CH- (Vol+/Vol-) buttons (13, 14).

Using AC/DC adapter
This unit can be powered by an AC/DC adapter (not included). Connect the AC/DC adapter (5V 1000mA Output, 3.5 mm center positive plug ) into the planetarium’s 5V DC-in connector (21) and plug it into an AC wall outlet.
