There is a discussion of both polar and Azimuth-Elevation alignment methods. Unless you are doing Astrophotography the AZ-EL method is easier to do and understand. There are lots of photos that will assist you. The organization of material is somewhat unorganized. It is best if you read through the manual cover to cover there is a lot of key information toward the back of the manual for my ETX-125PE.
Is there a handheld control pad that lets you slew up-down and left-right? Check the manual and locate the battery location for the scope. If it is anything like my -125PE they are under a cover on the bottom of the scope. They should not be left in the scope more than a couple of weeks or as they go bad they leak a corrosive gunk that is bad for the insides of the scope.
