8. If you have previously entered the Country/State and City of your observing site
(as described in ACTIVATE THE ARROW KEYS, page 9), go to step 9. If you have
not entered this information, perform the following steps:
a. The handbox prompts you to enter the Country or State (listed alphabetical-
ly) of the observing site. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the database
of countries, states, and provinces. Press ENTER when the correct location
displays.

cally) to the observing site. Use the Scroll keys to cycle through the data-

you need to enter this information (e.g., you change your geographic
location), you can do so by using the Site option of the Setup menu. See
ADDING OBSERVING SITES, page 25, for detailed information.

forming the Initialization procedure, you MUST train your drive.
Training the Drive
Next, train the drive using the handbox. Perform this procedure the first time you
use the handbox with your telescope, after a Reset, or if you are experiencing any
pointing accuracy problems. Training the drive gives your telescope a higher degree
of pointing accuracy.
Note: Use a terrestrial object, such as a telephone pole or lamp post, to
train the drive. It is best to perform this procedure during the daytime.

8. Press ENTER to choose the Train Drive option. „Train Drive: Az/RA Train“ dis-
plays.
9. Press ENTER to begin Az/R.A. (Right Ascension) training.
