Instruction Manual
Before trying out the examples in this section, familiarize yourself with the basic
operations of the handbox described earlier in this manual. The following exam-
ples assume that you have a basic knowledge of the handbox and understand
how to scroll to a desired menu or menu option, and how to enter numbers and
text. It also assumes that you have initialized and aligned your telescope.
Adding Observing Sites
If you plan to observe using the handbox at different geographic locations, you
can store up to six observation sites in the handbox‘s memory to help simplify
your telescope setup. Perform these procedures using the Site options (Add,
Select, Delete, Edit) of the Setup menu.
To Add a Site to the user-defined site list:
In this example, you will choose a city and add it to the database list. You will
then select the site to enable it.
1. Navigate to the „Setup: Site“ menu. Press ENTER,
2. Scroll through the options until „Site: Add“ displays. Press ENTER.
3. Scroll through the list of countries/states. Press ENTER when the country/
state you wish to add displays.
4. Scroll through the list of cities. Press ENTER when the city you wish to add
displays. The Site is now added to the database. You may add 5 sites using
this method (the sixth site is the site you added during the manual initializa-
tion process).
5. To choose a site, navigate to „Setup: Select.“ Press ENTER. Scroll through
the list of sites. When the desired site displays, press ENTER.
To Edit a Site
In this procedure, you will enter a location that is not available in the handbox data-
base by editing data of a nearby site. You will edit the location‘s name, latitude.
longitude and the time zone shift. You will then select the site to enable it.
You will need to know the latitude and longitude of your location to perform this
procedure.
1. Using the Add option, choose a site on the list that is closest to your
observing site and press ENTER so that the site is added to your observ-
ing sites list. Choosing a site already on the list (as opposed to using the
„Custom“ feature) makes it easier to edit, as the „Time Zone“ value may not
need to be changed.
2. Scroll to „Site: Edit“ and press ENTER. „Edit: Name“ displays. Press
ENTER.
3. The name of the site you have just entered to your list displays; if it does
not, scroll to the site.
4. Using the Arrow keys, change the name of the site so that it now reads
the name of your observing location. Press ENTER. „Edit: Name“ displays
again.
5. Press the Scroll Down key and „Edit: Latitude“ displays. Press ENTER.
6. Using the Number Keys, enter the latitude of your observing site and then
press ENTER. „Edit: Latitude“ displays again.
7. Press the Scroll Down key and „Edit: Longitude“ displays. Press ENTER.
8. Using the Number Keys, enter the longitude of your observing site and then
press ENTER. „Edit: Longitude“ displays again.
9. Press the Scroll Down key and „Edit: Time Zone“ displays. Press ENTER. (If
the site you chose from the list in step 1 has the same Time Zone as the site
you are editing, just press ENTER again to go on to the next step.) „Time
Zone“ refers to the Greenwich Time Zone shift. Users West of Greenwich,
use „-“ hours (one hour per time zone) and users East of Greenwich use „+“
hours. For the United States, look up the shift in TABLE 1, at the left.
10. After entering the shift, press ENTER. „Edit Time Zone“ displays.
11. Press MODE. „Site: Edit“ displays.
