UTILITY FEATURES
Scrolling through the MENU options will also provide access to several advanced utility functions
such as anti-backlash compensation and slew limits.
Version –
Selecting this option will allow you to see the version number of the Hand Control software.
Light Control –
This feature allows you to turn off both the red key pad light and LCD display for
daytime use to conserve power and to help preserve your night vision.
Factory Setting –
Returns the NexStar Hand Control to its original factory setting. Parameters such as
backlash compensation values, initial date and time, longitude/latitude along with slew and filter limits
will be reset. However, stored parameters such as PEC and user defined objects will remain saved
even when Factory Settings is selected. The Hand Control will ask you to press the "0" key before
returning to the factory default setting.
Get Alt-Az -
Displays the relative altitude and azimuth for the current position of the telescope.
Go To Alt-Az -
Allows you to enter a specific altitude and azimuth position and slew to it.
Hibernate -
Hibernate allows the NexStar 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.
Helpful Hint: Pressing
the Hand Control without waking the telescope up from hibernate mode. To wake up the telescope
has been pressed, select Hibernate from the Utility menu and press
after
UNDO
the direction buttons to move the telescope while in hibernate mode.

enable the Sun, go to the Sun Menu and press ENTER. The Sun will now be displayed in the Planets
catalog and 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.
