The manual will only have assembly instructions, it will NOT tell you how to use the telescope.
Locate a local Astronomy club and the members will teach you all about, eyepieces, locating objects in the sky, and how to use your telescope. Read my tips on my profile page.
Here is the Meade telescope web site, look around under REFRACTORS or REFLECTORS for one that is similar to your telescope -- the manuals are a free download. Most telescopes are assembled in a similar fashion --- and the manuals also have suggestions for using the telescope.
If it is like the picture you posted it is a refractor style telescope on an Alt Az mount. Very simple to use -- left and right--- up and down.
However you also need a star chart to find things in the sky-- download one for free at: http://www.skymaps.com
Also try to find a local Astronomy club and attend some of their meetings and star parties. Your first sky object should be the moon -- the next time it is up at night.
Jupiter and Venus are also up right now.... check the star chart above.
Start at http://www.skyandtelescope.com/howto/basics. Go to Yahoo groups. see if thereis one that supports your type of telescope. And of course there's the Dummies books. HTH, Geo.
