Level North Technology
Just had a quick look at the manual and a couple of websites (plus the LX200GPS works in a similar way)
LNT stands for Level North Technology.
The LNT module contains a sensor that detects the tilt of the mount, and a magnetic sensor that can determine North.
Initially you have to set the correct time and your location. The LNT remembers the time just like the clock in a PC.
When you start the LNT it checks the tilt of the mount and determines where North is. You then align on a couple of stars and that's it. You can then use the GoTo facility to find any object.
You can download the manual from the Meade website - go to Customer Support from the Meade home page. The manual is just over 1 MB.
Hope this helps!
