Setting Local Time; Setting Location - Vixen Starbook-S User Manual

Setting Local Time

Enter the date and local time of your observing site by using the upper five buttons on the
STARBOOK-S.
This task is required only once the first time you use the STARBOOK-S. However, you will need
to reset the date and time if you travel from your regular observing site to a different time zone, or
if you reset your clocks for Daylight Saving time. The STARBOOK-S keeps the stored memory
while you replace the batteries. It is not necessary to enter the date and time again if you put in
fresh batteries within an hour. A deviation may arise between the initial clock of the
STARBOOK-S and your time, but a few minute's difference does not affect the slewing
performance of the unit.
(1) Choose Local Setting Time with the keys and press Select.
(2) To change the date and time, move the cursor with the keys to the item where corrections
are needed. Then change the number with the keys.
(3) To finish the setting, move the cursor with the keys to OK and press Select to enter.

Setting Location

Enter the longitude, latitude and time zone of your observing site. Once the settings for your
location are entered and saved, you don't need to change them unless you travel more than 15
miles to a different observing location. The longitude and latitude of your observing site can be
checked on a map or with a GPS device. The initial location is set at Tokyo.
