Step 5. Plug in hand controller and AC adaptor.
Plug hand controller into either one of the two HBX ports on the
mount. Next plug in AC adaptor.
(Or use batteries—see step 3).
Turn on power (the red light should go on).
At this point you can begin observing manually. Use the 4 Arrow keys
(▲▼◄►) on the hand controller to rotate the scope Up, Down, Left,
and Right. Use the SPEED key to change the slew rate from the
slowest (1X) to the fastest (MAX). The next steps show you how to set
up the telescope and controller for automatic slewing and tracking.
Step 6. Set up telescope for auto-observing.
Level the mount using the bubble on side of mount by adjusting
tripod legs. The bubble should be in the middle of the circle. It is
also suggested to use additional levels (such as a torpedo level)
to assure precise leveling.
Step 7. Park Position for Altazimuth Operation
Set telescope to PARK POSITION.
(1) Position the mount so that the “SOUTH” mark is facing south
(A compass may be helpful).
(2) The telescope tube should be pointed directly up at the
zenith. If it is not perfectly straight then loosen the altitude lock
(#4) to adjust telescope.
Please refer to full manual for German equatorial operation.
Step 8. Main Screen
Turn on the mount and wait for controller to display “GPS-OK” in
top right corner —not “GPS-ON”. GPS provides Latitude,
Longitude, and current time only.
Step 9.
Press the MENU key once.
Scroll (with the ▲/▼ keys) to “Set Up Controller”
Press ENTER.
Then go to Set Up Local Time and Site in the next screen.
Select and then press ENTER.
Step 10. Set Up Local Time
Go to:
Set up Local Time (or “Local Time and Site”).
Press ENTER.
Enter date and day-light savings (Y-yes. N-no).

numbers)
