Figure 24. Ports for cables

Plug GPS module into the iPORT with coiled cable. When powering on, GPS ON sign should be

displayed at the upper right corner of the hand controller. If you want to use the iPort for another

accessory, such as WIFI adapter (iStarFi #7434), or electronic focuser (#8451/#8452), you may

disconnect the GPS module after it picks up satellites signals and displays GPS OK on hand controller.

(It takes about 1 to 2 minutes in normal conditions).

STEP 10. Setting up the Hand Controller

The CEM40 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.

A clear sky and open space outside is needed for the GPS to establish a link with the satellites.
