Moving through the menus

The menus are organized for quick and easy navigation.

• Press ENTER (2, Fig. 2) to go deeper into menu levels.

• Press MODE (3, Fig. 2) to move back toward the top menu level.

• Press the Scroll keys (7, Fig. 2) to move up and down through the options

available for each menu level.

• Press the number keys (6, Fig. 2) to enter digits.

Initializing the handbox

This exercise describes how to initialize the handbox.

Note: Normally, you will enter the Time and Date at the beginning of

each observing session, but you will only perform the full Initialization

procedure (i.e., entering the Location information and selecting the

model number as well as entering the Time and Date) the first time

you use the handbox or after performing a Reset.

1. Make sure that the telescope is assembled correctly, and that the batteries

are installed as described previously.

2. Make sure the On/Off switch (D, Fig. 1d) is in the Off position. Plug the cord

of the handbox into the HBX port (A, Fig. 1d), as previously described. Push

the On/Off switch to the On position.

Press „0“ to enter the Alignment menu after the copyright message disappeared.

4. The Getting Started menu displays a scrolling message with two choices:

a. Press and hold down the ? key (8, Fig. 2) for about 2 seconds for infor-

mation on the handbox functions and controls. When finished, press

MODE (3, Fig. 2) to exit Help, or,

b. Press ENTER (2, Fig. 2) to bypass the Help tutorial and continue with

Initialization.

5. The handbox prompts you to enter the current date:

a. Press the Numbers keys (6, Fig. 2) to enter numbers 0 through 9. After

the desired number is displayed, use the Right Arrow key (5, Fig. 2) to

move the cursor from one number to the next in the day display (or use

the Left Arrow key to move in the other direction across the display, if

necessary).

b. Use the Right Arrow key (5, Fig. 2) to move the cursor to the month. Use

the Scroll keys (7, Fig. 2) to cycle through the list of months. When the

current month is displayed, use the Right Arrow (5, Fig. 2) to move the

cursor to the year.

c. Use Number keys (6, Fig. 2) to enter all four digits of the current year.

Use the Right Arrow key (5, Fig. 2) to move the cursor from one number

to the next.

d. Press ENTER (2, Fig. 2) when the entire date has been entered.

6. The handbox then prompts you to enter the current time. Use the Number

keys to enter digits. The Right and Left Arrow keys move the cursor across

the screen as described in the previous step. Enter the current time (use a

„0“ for the first digit if less than 10). Use the Up Arrow key (7, Fig. 2) to scroll

through „AM,“ „PM,‘“ or „blank.“ The „blank“ option (screen displays neither

AM nor PM) selects the 24-hour (i.e., military time) clock. Then press ENTER

to start the clock.

7. The handbox then prompts you to enter the status of Daylight Savings Time.

Press one of the Scroll keys to toggle between the YES/NO settings. Select

the desired setting by pressing ENTER.

Note: Daylight Savings Time may be referred to by a different name

in various areas of the world.

Definition:

Initialization is a proce-

dure that ensures that the

ahndbox operates cor-

rectly. When you first use

the handbox, it doesn‘t yet

know where the observa-

tion location site is or the

time or date of the obser-

vation session.

You will enter information,

such as the current time

and date, and observation

location.

The handbox uses this

information to precisely

calculate the location of

celestial objects (such as

stars and planets) and to

automatically move your

telescope correctly for

various operations.

Tip:

When multiple choices are

available within a menu

option, the current option

is usually displayed first

and highlighted by a right

pointing arrow (>).
