Meade 12 Inch LX200R f/10 Advanced Ritchey-Cretien OTA w/UHTC Coatings Telescope Questions & Answers
Procedure to set up a meade 12" LX200R on
It's pretty much all spelled out in the manual. Here:

You should train the drives, and purchase a separate 12 volt power pack with the correct cigarette lighter style power cable. Calibrate motors BEFORE you train the drives with the same power source you will use outside at night.
If this is a GPS model-- and new--- I would execute a RESET on the hand controller-- calibrate motors and train the drives and take the scope outside and get a Satellite link and do a two star automatic alignment.
Make SURE you are centering the correct alignment stars. By the way TRAINING must be done in alt az mode before you put the scope on a wedge-- it cannot be done in polar mode.
