You are in for a treat. With a little practice, a telescope like that can become one of your cherished possessions, and it can transform space from an abstract concept into a visible reality.
This is a long post (I had to split it into two parts), but you say you are completely new to telescopes, and I have a lot of experience I wanted to share with you. I hope you find it helpful.
First, I must be perfectly honest. Telescopes of this type are not quality instruments. Yours in particular is about as cheap as they come.. Fortunately, unless they completely botched it, your telescope will be good enough for anything you may want to do as a beginning telescope user. In fact, the simplicity and ruggedness of this kind of telescope makes it ideal for a beginner, as it is quick to set up, easy to use, and is not fussy like expensive telescopes can be. There are also several simple techniques you can use to overcome the limitations of your telescope.
Before you take your telescope outside, read the owner's manual. It will explain what each part does, and tell you how to take care of the telescope. You will learn what the right-angle prism and barlow lens are. Also, I want to stress that lens caps are of the utmost importance. Always use them and try not to lose them. It's no fun to have little specks of dust in your view.
The first few times you use your telescope, take it outside during the day. During they day, you can clearly see the equipment, it is warmer, there are fewer mosquitoes, and there are a multitude of interesting and easy-to-spot targets. Practicing during the day is a much better way to learn to use your telescope than going out immediately into the night.
During the day, you might try looking into the highest tree-tops. Maybe there is a nest up there. What is the farthest house or building that you can see? Maybe you could even take it on top of a hillside park and look out over the landscape. Maybe you could take it to the shore and watch ships on the horizon. By viewing the daytime landscape, you will learn just how to use your instrument.
At this point, I would like to talk about how to actually use the telescope. The first part is the tripod. From the picture I found it looks like your tripod legs come in two segments. Open the black latch and let the lower segment drop down, then close the latch tight lock it in place. Separate the legs and lock them in place with their knobs at the vertex of the tripod.
Next is the telescope mount. You are lucky to have what is called an "altitude-azimuth" mount, or "alt-az" for short. Altitude is the angle of the telescope from horizontal to vertical (up/down). Azimuth is the angle in a circle along the horizon (side-to-side). This kind of mount makes it easy to just point and look. Fancier telescopes have an "equatorial mount" which pivots in three directions which lets you very easily track stars as they move across the sky, but if you don't set it up right, it just gets in the way.
To point the telescope, unscrew the alt and az knobs so it moves freely, point it, then tighten the knobs to lock everything in place. They only need to be tight enough so that the telescope doesn't move on its own. Don't over-tighten them. You'll notice right away, there is some slop in the mount. After you tighten the altitude knob and let go of the telescope, the end will fall ever so slightly. It's enough that your target may move out of view entirely. You'll soon get used to that and learn to compensate.
I can't tell from the picture, but there may also be a second set of knobs on the mount which are for fine adjustment. Once the telescope is pointed and the mount locked, the fine adjustment lets you very slowly move the telescope to track the stars as they move across the sky. You may not have fine-adjustment. This is no problem. You will learn how to loosen the alt and az knobs just a little bit, nudge the telescope over a bit, and lock the knobs back down. You'll find a way to tighten the knobs half-way so that the telescope holds its position even as you continue to move the telescope.
To help point your telescope, you'll notice that the manufacturer provided you with a handy little finderscope on the side, like a rifle scope. This is worse than useless. It is completely unnecessary and an infuriating hassle. In order for it to work, it has to be precisely targeted. This is accomplished by going out in the day, sighting an object through the telescope, and then adjusting the finderscope with its three tiny screws to point at the exact same object. This is very hard to do and very frustrating. What's worse, it will be knocked completely out of alignment every time you pack up you telescope. Every time you set up your telescope, the finderscope will need to be re-adjusted. As a beginning telescope user, you do not need this frustration. Do yourself a favor by loosening the finderscope's adjustment screws, sliding it out of its mount, and putting it away in the telescope's box. Leave the finderscope mount attached to the telescope because it covers several screw-holes which will let dust inside if you remove it.
The best way to aim your telescope is to learn to sight down the length of the barrel. Take out the right-angle prism, take out the barlow lens, and put the eyepiece directly in the telescope so when you look through the eyepiece, your eye is pointed in the same direction of the telescope. Loosen the mount, look straight along the top of the telescope, and point it so that your target is just above the tip of the telescope. Holding the telescope in place, move your eye down to where the eyepiece is. You'll notice that your target seems to move down behind the end of the telescope (or equivalently, the tip of the telescope appears to move up toward the target, covering it.) This apparent movement is called "parallax", and with some practice you will learn to compensate for it instinctively. It will become very easy to point your telescope at anything you want.
To actually see something in the telescope, you'll have to focus it, of course. To do this, there is a coarse adjustment, and a fine adjustment. First, use the coarse adjustment. You do this by gripping the small end of the telescope, (forward of where the eyepiece is screwed in), and pulling (or pushing). The telescope will lengthen or shorten considerably, and this is how you bring objects into general focus. The fine-adjustment is the black-and-silver knob on both sides of the telescope at the small end. Turn that to fine-tune the focus once you have pulled/pushed the telescope to the correct length.
At first, the coarse-adjustment may be pushed in all the way. It is easier to pull it out just a little before you put in the eyepiece than after you have attached the eyepiece.
To focus on an object, you may need to push the coarse-adjustment in nearly all the way, or pull it out nearly all the way. Somewhere between those two extremes, the object will come into focus. If you still see nothing but a blur, make sure you are still pointed at an object. The sky should make a bright blur, and things like pine trees and shadows should make a dark blur. Move the telescope around as you look through it and find line between the dark blur and the light blur. Focus in on that. Remember, you may have to move the coarse-adjustment all the way in or all the way out before you see anything, but as long as you are pointed at an actual object, it will come into focus. You will also notice that for relatively nearby objects on land, focus happens at one length, and for the Moon and planets, focus happens at another length. Once your object is in focus, take a look at your telescope and remember about how far you have to pull out the coarse adjustment so it is easier next time.
Now that the object is in focus, you may notice that it is upside-down. Yes, this is an unfortunate truth of telescopes. When looking at the sky, it's not such a problem, but looking at the ground, it can be a little weird. Fortunately, you have a right-angle prism. By putting the right-angle prism in between the telescope and the eyepiece, you can make the image right-side-up again.
