5.4.2. Set Key Beep

Turn the key beep on/off.

5.4.3. Set Azi Work Mode

This function will set the mount azimuth mode while performing GOTO. There are two modes for selection:

AZI +/- 200 degree

AZI free running mode

The “AZI +/- 200 degree” will rotate the mount between -200º and +200º in azimuth direction to avoid AC/DC power line wrapping. However, the mount may take a longer path to slew to an object. The “AZI free running mode” will take a shortest path while rotating along the azimuth direction, which is best for battery operation. The default setting is “AZI +/- 200 degree” mode.

5.4.4. Reset All

Reset all settings to factory default data.

5.5. Align

This function is used to align the telescope to known stars to

This function is used to align a telescope mount using known stars to improve its GOTO and tracking accuracy. Before star alignment, please make sure the mount is well leveled and at its Park Position. In addition to “Solarsys Align,” the system also provides “One Star Align” and “Two Star Align”. Either one can be selected for telescope alignment.

5.5.1. Solarsys Align

Press “MENU”, scroll down the menu and select “Align”. Press ENTER and select “Solarsys Align”. Select any one of the listed solar system object as your alignment target, such as Moon. Press ENTER. If the Moon is above the horizon, the telescope will auto slew to it. If the Moon is not in the center of you eyepiece, use ◄ ► ▲ or ▼ key to center the object in your eyepiece. Press SPEED button to change the slew speed if needed. Then press ENTER to complete the alignment.
