timer. When the timer runs out, four beeps sound and the timer is deacti-
vated.
Alarm selects a time for an alarm signal as a reminder. To use the Alarm, press
ENTER, then choose „Set“ or „Start/Stop.“
•
Set: Enter the time of day for the alarm to sound, in hours, minutes, and sec-
onds, then press ENTER.
• Start/Stop: Activates the alarm set previously. Use the Scroll keys to toggle
between on and off. When ON is displayed, press ENTER to activate the
alarm. When the alarm time arrives, the handbox beeps. Press ENTER to
deactivate the alarm.
Eyepiece Calc calculates information about an eyepiece for the specific tele-
scope to which the handbox is connected.
• Field of View: Scroll through a list of available eyepieces. When an eye-
piece is selected, the field of view is calculated.
• Magnification: Scroll through a list of available eyepieces. When an eyepiece
is selected, the magnification is calculated.
• Suggest: The handbox calculates and suggests the best eyepiece for view-
ing, based on the telescope and the object being viewed.
Display Options enables or disables handbox’s two initial displays. If both dis-
plays are disabled, the handbox begins with the Date display.
• Sun Warning: Turns the “Sun Warning” message on or off.
• Getting Started: Turns the “Getting Started” message on or off.
Brightness Adj: Adjusts the brightness of the display using the Scroll keys. When
complete, press ENTER.
Contrast Adj: Adjusts the contrast of the display using the Scroll keys. When complete,
press ENTER.
The Contrast Adjustment feature is usually only required in very cold
weather.
Beep: Turns the beep on or off.
Landmark Survey automatically slews the telescope to all user-defined land-
marks with a short pause at each location. Press ENTER to start the survey.
While a slew is in progress, press any key to skip that object and go to the next
landmark on the list. To observe a landmark for a longer period, press MODE
when paused on the object to stop the survey. Press ENTER to restart the sur-
vey at the first object on the list.
Sleep Scope is a power saving option that shuts down the handbox and the
telescope without forgetting its alignment. With „Sleep Scope“ selected, press
ENTER to activate the Sleep function. The handbox goes dark, but the internal
clock keeps running. Press any key, except ENTER, to re-activate the handbox
and the telescope.
Park Scope is designed for a telescope that is not moved between observ-
ing sessions. Align the telescope one time, then use this function to park the
telescope. Next time it is powered up, enter the correct date and time – no
alignment is required. Pressing ENTER causes the telescope to move to its pre-
determined Park position. Once parked, the screen prompts to turn off power.
Important Note: When the „Park Scope“ option is chosen and the
display prompts you to turn off the telescope‘s power, the handbox
is unable to be returned to operation without turning the power off
and then back on.
Cord Wrap moves the telescope in such a way as to prevent the cords and
cables attached to your telescope assembly from getting wound around the
assembly and tangled as the telescope slews to objects. This menu is set to „On“
and cannot be changed by the user.

„smearing“ on the handbox
display, use the contrast
adjustment menu.
