Use the arrow keys to adjust LCD display contrast (LCD contrast), LCD backlight intensity (LCD
light), and keypad's backlight intensity (Key light).
5.3.4. Set Maximum Slew Rate
This function will help the mount to slew properly under low temperature or extreme payload
condition (extra long or large diameter scope). Press MENU => "Settings" => "Set Maximum Slew Rate,."
You can select one of three slew rates. The default is MAX.
5.3.5. Set Parking Position
You may park the telescope before powering off the mount. This is very useful if the mount is on a
permanent pier or the mount will not be moved in between observation sessions. The mount will keep all the
alignment info and reference points.
There are five parking positions. Two positions that park the scope horizontally (Horizon Position).
Two positions that park the scope vertically (Zenith Position). "Current Position" will park the scope at its
current position. When the mount is turned on, it will use the last parking position setting as the default
setting.
5.3.6. Set Tracking Rate
You can set up the mount tracking rate by selecting "Set Tracking Rate". Then the user can select
"Automatic Rate" to let the mount choose a proper Solar/Luna/Sidereal tracking rate based on the GOTO
target. The "User defined speed" can be adjusted from 0.9900X to 1.0100X of sidereal.
5.3.7. Set Altitude Limit
This function allows the mount to keep tracking an object even if it is below the horizon but can still
be seen, for example from an elevated observation site, such as a hill. The range can be set from -89° to
+89°. The default limit is 00°. Be careful when setting this limit. It may cause mount GOTO problems.
5.3.8. Wi-Fi Option
This function will display WI-FI module functions. It is useful when connect the mount via wireless
connection.
