TROUBLESHOOTING
Power Up Problems:
The handset uses a special low power consumption circuit designed to maximize battery life. Because of this, the handset may have difficulty powering up especially if the batteries are low, or if the batteries are removed and replaced immediately. To solve this issue, simply remove the batteries, wait 10 minutes, and replace with fresh batteries. This allows the circuitry to reset and should restore all handset functions. You will need to set the date, time and your location when you start using the telescope, just as you did the first time.
Power Shuts Off:
The handset will normally automatically power off after a few minutes of inactivity (no buttons pressed, no tour in progress), to conserve battery power. Press the constellation button to power back up.
Unresponsive Buttons:
If the LED lights under the buttons come on, stay on, and the buttons do not function properly, this is another issue related to the low power circuit design which can be fixed by a reset. Remove the batteries, wait 10 minutes, and replace with fresh batteries. This allows the circuitry to reset and should restore all handset functions. You will need to set the date, time and your location when you start using the telescope, just as you did the first time.
Re-Initialization:
If you move (temporarily or permanently) to another city or any significant distance after you initially setup the Voyager Sky Tour handset, you will need to change the latitude and longitude coordinates, and possibly the time as well. You can always do a reset as described above and start over, but there's a quicker way, instead of removing batteries and waiting 10 minutes. Starting with the power off, press and hold the Mythology mode button to power up the unit (instead of the usual Constellation button). You will then be able to start the initialization (setup) process
