0.2 Getting Started
For most beginner users who may not need a lot of
astronomical detail this chapter gives just enough information
to set up the controller. After the easy-to-follow setup you will
be ready to point your telescope to wherever you want in the
night sky.
After assembling the telescope [Refer to our Assembling
Chart] turn on the power button located on the mount. You will
see the iOptron logo displayed for a few seconds. Then you
will see the zero position screen. By default, it works in Alt-Az
mode:

When the power is turned on you will see “G_ON” (GPS
turned on) in the upper right corner of the screen. In about a
minute, after the internal GPS communicate with the
satellites, you will see “G_OK” on the screen. Both time and
location are automatically set. If there is no GPS module
connected you will need to set up time and location manually.
Press MENU button. Then you will see this screen:
