LS Mini SD Card for Updates and 
Image Storage
Your LS telescope comes with a “Mini SD Card” slot 
located in the front edge of the fork arm. With a user 
supplied “Mini SD Card”, or a “Micro SD Card” in a Mini 
Card Adapter, you can update your telescope fi rmware 
or save images made with the ECLIPS CCD. 
Only use SD Cards bearing the offi cial SD logo. Each 
card must be properly formatted, using a PC utility or 
AutoStar Suite, before use in the LS. The card must be 
formatted with the FAT32 File System.
Your LS will not power-up with an SD Card inserted in 
its slot unless you are updating the fi rmware from the 
card. This includes an SD Card used to store images 
from the ECLIPS camera. To ensure the application 
software boots normally, remove the SD Card before 
switching on the LS LightSwitch. If you observe that 
the LS is taking a long time to power-up, please 
ensure the Mini SD Card slot is empty and cycle the 
LS LightSwitch off and on.
