Helpful Hint Get Alt-Az - Displays the relative altitude and azimuth for the current position of the telescope. Goto Alt-Az - Allows you to enter a specific altitude and azimuth position and slew to it. Hibernate - Hibernate allows the CPC to be completely powered down and still retain its alignment when turned back on. This not only saves power, but is ideal for those that have their telescopes permanently mounted or leave their telescope in one location for long periods of time. To place your telescope in Hibernate mode: 1. Select Hibernate from the Utility Menu. 2. Move the telescope to a desire position and press ENTER. 3. Power off the telescope. Remember to never move your telescope manually while in Hibernate mode. Once the telescope is powered on again the display will read Wake Up. After pressing Enter you have the option of scrolling through the time/site information to confirm the current setting. Press ENTER to wake up the telescope. Pressing UNDO at the Wake Up screen allows you to explore many of the features of the hand control without waking the telescope up from hibernate mode. To wake up the telescope after UNDO has been pressed, select Hibernate from the Utility menu and press ENTER. Do not use the direction buttons to move the telescope while in hibernate mode. Sun Menu For safety purposes the Sun will not be displayed as a database object unless it is first enabled. The enable the Sun, go to the Sun Menu and press ENTER. The Sun will now be displayed in the Planets catalog as can be used as an alignment object when using the Solar System Alignment method. To remove the Sun from displaying on the hand control, once again select the Sun Menu from the Utilities Menu and press ENTER. Scrolling Menu This menus allows you to change the rate of speed that the text scrolls across the hand control display. • Press the Up (number 6) button to increase the speed of the text. • Press the Down (number 9) button to decrease the speed of the text. 25
