Manual Operation Of The Mount; Star Identifying Function; Power-Down Memorization; Turn Off The Mount - iOptron HAZ31 Instruction Manual

4. Turn on the mount. Press BACK button to skip the Assist Alignment Wizard when the HC asks;
5. Press number 9 button to change the slew speed to MAX;
6. Slew the mount in azimuth to double check the leveling;
7. Slew the mount in AZI so that the dovetail saddle adapting plat is on Eastern side of the mount.
Slew the mount in altitude so that the telescope points to Zenith;
8. Press MENU=> "Zero Position"=> "Set Zero Position"=>ENTER to set the current position as
zero Position;
9. Press MENU="Settings"=>"Set Time and Site" to set the coordinates, Daylight Saving Time
(Y/N), UTC, as well as current time and location info. Then press ENTER.
10. Do a Star Alignment, or "Select and Slew" followed by "Sync to Target" to align the mount.
11. Now happy GOTO!

4.4. Manual Operation of the Mount

You may test the mount or observe astronomical objects using the arrow keys of a Go2Nova
controller.
Flip the I/O switch on the telescope mount to turn on the mount. Use ►,◄,▼ or ▲ buttons to point
the telescope to the desired object. Use the number keys to change the slewing speed. Then press 0 button
to start tracking. Press 0 button again to stop the tracking.

4.5. Star Identifying Function

The 8409 hand controller has a star identifying function. After Polar Alignment and Set Up Time
and Site, slew the telescope to an bright star, manually or using GOTO. Press ? button to identify the star
name telescope is pointing to, as well as nearby bright stars if there are any.

4.6. Power-Down Memorization

The HAZ mount can memorize its R.A. and DEC positions if the mount power is lost during
operation, even during high speed slewing. After the power is back, just do a Select and Slew to the same
star when the power is lost. The mount will continue to track the star.
Make sure that a hand controller battery is installed and fresh.

4.7. Turn Off the Mount

When you have finished your observation, simply turn the mount power off and disassemble the
mount and tripod.
If the mount is set up on a pier or inside an observatory, it is recommended that you return the
mount to the Zero Position or park the telescope. This will ensure that there is no need for you to perform
the initial setup again when you power on the mount subsequently, so long as the mount has not been
moved from the parked position.
