To make sure this occurs, before tightening the Base Plate Attachment knobs, rotate each
Micro-Leveler clockwise until it makes contact with the mounting surface. Then tighten it

accommodate uneven mounting surfaces. You might want also want to gently lift the
mount when tightening the Micro-Levelers.
If all four Micro-Levelers are not in contact with the mounting surface, when you attempt
to loosen a Base Plate Attachment Knob, both will turn together and bind. They cannot be
turned in unison because the threads on the Micro-Leveler are larger than the threads on
the Base Plate Attachment Knob. If the two become bound, do not try to force them
apart! Instead tighten (yes, tighten) both knobs a small amount until they are no longer
bound. At this point, rotate the Micro-Leveler clockwise until it is in full contact with the
mounting surface.

Hand Controller

The Paramount includes a hand controller that can be used to slew and home the mount without the need
of TheSkyX Professional Edition, as well as turn on mount lighting and an integrated LED flashlight.
To use the joystick, plug the RJ12 phone-type connector on the end of the hand controller's 15-foot coiled
cable into the Joystick port on the Electronics Box (page 77). The hand controller includes an integrated
mini joystick and a large five position rate switch that allows single-handed slews and slew rate control.
Double-tap the joystick to optionally issue the Find Home command (no external software required).
The three position rocker switch located on the side of the hand paddle turns the mount's lighting features
on or off.
