ETX125 PE LNT time and date help? new
      #3393897 - 10/16/09 11:50 PM

Hi, just bought a used ETX125 PE, have to say it is a nice little scope, reminds me of my (have no longer) LX90 12in but a lot smaller. : )
It does the whole level and north thing okay, but it is not giving the Autostar the time and date, I have to enter it every time, is that normal? I was thinking batteries, but it levels it??? Or do I need a time mod?

Thanks, Tom

The battery in the LNT module probably needs to be replaced; losing track of the time and date is a warning sign the battery is dying.
