A checklist was attached to the camera. The CDR deployed it successfully in the shadow per the checklist. The three legs were unfolded and locked to form a tripod under a leveled table. The only way to level it on the slope, however, was to step down on 2 of the 3 legs, pushing them out of sight into the regolith. The battery was placed in the sun, for its optimal thermal conditions, but it was moved to the shade at the beginning of the 3rd EVA. The cable lines did not lay flat and tangled up in the CDR's legs almost every time he approached the camera. Fortunately, the battery moved rather than the camera. He had to level the unit and point it downsun to zero the azimuth. Pointing was accomplished by using two sets of graduated circles (in degrees) on an altitude-azimuth telescope mount. Pointing at Earth was accomplished by eye with a sighting tube. The A-16 timeline allotted ~8 minutes to offload and deploy the unit and another ~7 minutes to align it.

Hmn.. well personally after all the reading I've been doing on these guys. I believe they are not evil or want to destroy us. I believe they are maybe trying to help us by doing all those abductions and making Hybrids. I think they are making a new world somewhere since this planet is going to end at some point. They've been coming for the longest time but not sure why the gov't still hides this from us. They know our destiny though..
