Note: The Download function requires the optional 
#505 Astrofi nder Software and Cable Connector Kit. 
See the instruction sheet included with the kit for more 
information on how to download. Also see OPTIONAL 
ACCESSORIES, page 16. 
Clone uploads information from one AutoStar handbox 
to another. Three options are available:
• Catalogs: Sends only user-defi ned  object 
information, such as new satellite orbits or 
comet data to another AutoStar handbox.
• Software: Sends only the basic AutoStar 
software. This is useful if one user has 
downloaded a new version of AutoStar software 
from the Meade website (www.meade.com) and 
wants to pass this software along to friends.
• All: Everything – user-defi ned  information 
and AutoStar software – is sent to
another AutoStar.
Statistics provides basic statistical data about 
AutoStar, including: 
•  Characters Free: Shows how much room is 
available in user-defi ned object memory. 
• Version: Shows the current version of the 
AutoStar software. 
Reset completely resets AutoStar. Most values entered 
into the menus revert to factory defaults.
