5.4.1. Set Time and Site

The AZ Mount Pro mount is equipped with a GPS receiver which will receive the time, longitude
and latitude information for your current location from satellites after a link is established. However,
there are still some parameters which need to be entered to reflect your location, such as time zone
information and whether daylight saving time is currently in effect. This information will be stored in the
hand controller memory along with longitude and latitude coordinates until they need to be updated.
NOTE: you don't need to do anything if the mount is in an automatic mode, even the time zone
is wrong.
A clear sky and open space outside is needed for the GPS to establish a link with the satellites.
The GPS is installed on the top of the main board under main control board cover. If the GPS module
has difficulty receiving the satellite signal, you may rotate the R.A. axis to one side to exposure the
GPS module.
To set up the controller, press MENU =>"Settings"
