Rick,
You can go to the Meade website (www.meade.com), click on the Customer Support link on the left side of the screen and then click on Manuals. Scroll down and you'll see the link to the LXD75 manual.

Hi Rick,
does your polar scope have the circles with the dots at intervals? If so, then there is a good free program that will show you how to place Polaris in the circle for the time and day. Polar Finder is found on this page.
