As each axis moves, its label (AZIM/ELEV/POL) will flash and the current position will update. The target deploy positions will be displayed in parenthesis. The sequence of axis movement will be mount dependent.

Following completion of movement to the deploy position, the RC3000 will return to MANUAL mode. The automatic movement may be terminated anytime by pressing the Stop key.

The azimuth, elevation and polarization deploy positions are defined in the Stow/Deploy configuration screen (3.3.1.3.10).
